He wont have one. People who call people out never respond to evidence. IMO

Lol. Let me help out. Response need to include the words "I'm" and "sorry" in some order. Possibly "jackass" could be worked in there.

Trust me I'm married and very schooled in the art of being constantly, painfully WRONG in my every act. :eek:lol:

Top247 linebacker Darrin Kirkland Jr. of Indianapolis. The former Michigan commitment has been high on Tennessee for months and showed interest in the Vols even while he was committed to the Wolverines, so perhaps it should come as no surprise that he offered a glowing review of his official visit to UT. Kirkland told 247Sports’ Steve Wiltfong that he had an “awesome weekend in Knoxville,” and everyone involved “really made it feel like a home away from home.”
The 6-foot-2, 235-pound Kirkland also has been on official visits to Ole Miss and Oklahoma, and he’s still scheduled to spend the first two weekends in December visiting Texas and Southern California. But it’s probably safe to say that Tennessee is one of the teams to beat for Kirkland — and perhaps even the slight favorite to land him — heading into his final visits. Ole Miss also appears to be very high on his list, and his visits to Texas and USC still are worth watching. But the Vols undoubtedly are in good shape with Kirkland, a projected early enrollee who’s planning to announce his decision Jan. 3 at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio.

Vols in a good spot with Kirkland following visit. Had an in-depth chat with four-star LB Darrin Kirkland Jr., about his official visit to Tennessee and there was a lot of good energy from him about the experience. Seems like it really resonated with his family too, and matching him up with Todd Kelly was a good move as well. Knowing Todd and knowing Darrin, those are two very similar personalities right there so it does not surprise me at all that they clicked. Kirkland still will visit Texas and USC, but Tennessee sits in a strong position for him with a decision six weeks away.

"It definitely put them in a great spot to land me," Kirkland said. "I had a great visit this past weekend with my family. They loved every bit of it, especially with the education side as well as athletically. They loved spending time with Coach Butch Jones, Coach (Tommy) Thigpen and really the whole staff."

"Tennessee had always been in contact," Kirkland said. "They offered me last (winter) and were one of my leaders before I committed to Michigan, so I was excited about them in the first place. Really in the last month and a half when I opened things up they were making a push. They show me a lot of love and their fan base shows me a lot of love."

"Their recruiting class speaks for itself," Kirkland said. "Pushing toward Signing Day they have a really good chance to sign a lot of great guys. I see the potential that they played with this past weekend and see the pieces coming together."

"I was hanging with Jack Jones and unofficial (visitor) Kyle Phillips," Kirkland said. "We spent the night after the game together and were really talking a lot.

"Jack Jones really wants me to be a teammate and he is a great player on the o-line. Kyle Phillips was the same way. We were just talking how we could control things coming in together with him being on d-line and me being at linebacker."

"His family connected with my family and they just talked about what their experience has been like," Kirkland said. "My parents loved it and he has a great family. T.K. is a great player and he played very well, so I was proud of him to see that. He was just telling me the Vols really want me and he's excited to hopefully be my teammate in the future."

The 6-foot-1, 233-pound Kirkland is ranked as the No. 7 inside linebacker in the 2015 class. He accumulated 105 tackles, 21 tackles for loss and three interceptions as a senior despite missing several games due to an ankle injury.

Looks like at least a step in the right direction. Much rather read something like that vs the Richmond visit and recruits talking about guys UT is pushing for talking up other programs and trying to recruit them elsewhere.

Phillips would be a great pick up if the UT coaches can make it happen.

Still waiting it out with Kirkland to see what he does visit wise.

Even without my orange colored sunglasses on, this guy is an upgrade at MLB over Cherry. I really hope he cancels those other visits.

Absolutely. Cherry has those bone crushing highlight hits on RB's but Kirkland is clearly the more rounded player imo.
