Texas in No. 1,” Cherry said. “I will make my decision on national signing day. I will not sign with Tennessee. They are out. USC has called me and so did Auburn. Now I will just wait out the process.”

That was as of yesterday. Kid is butthurt because the staff said his spot was being reevaluated after he took a visit that Thigpen told him not to take. He may not land at Texas because he may not have a committable offer but he is pissed at Tennessee.

Oh well............NEXT! some of these kids are really full of themselves. I want great athletes, but mature and dedicated are essential.

Go Vols!!

I will say one more thing, I watched his films, and he is a great run stopper, but his lateral movement is not great, he might not fit the HYBRID definition.......speed will kill you in today's spread.

The speculation in the RF was that Butch and staff were angry with Cherry for taking a visit to Texas, and started courting Darrin Kirkland (who decommitted from Michigan). It all went downhill from there.

Kirkland is rated higher in 247, and is generally considered an upgrade over Cherry.

Why would a coach get mad over one of his committed recruits taking a visit to another school? Lots of recruits use up all their visits even though they are committed to xyz school.

Your a top program you have to show your just not any school. All top football programs do it with certain players. Cause in this cause they stopped recruiting other MLB for him.

It is either a petty move or there's more to this than what meets the eye.

They shut down the MLB for him but when he said I'm looking around so did they. Kirkland just fell into their lap with the dumpster fire at Michigan. Loved the fire of Cherry but Kirkland is more highly regarded so I hope it all works out for Cherry.

Because they had quit recruiting other mlbs. If he is gonna visit other schools he shouldn't be mad if we have other linebackers visit us.

All the social media posts of Cecil getting Kiffin-esque with the whole "Texas is my dream school" was likely a slap in the face to this staff....taking visits is one thing but that might have been the back breaking straw :dunno:

For the past month, all he's done is suck up to Texas fans on twitter. Sometimes, he even took shots at our fan base. We don't need that kid. Kirkland is better anyways and is ranked much higher, and he's looking to be all Vol. Good luck with Texas and being the 4th best team in the state.

Yeah, Cherry is big but he lacks the linebacker speed that we need. Kirkland fits the mold more than him. He's faster and can demolish you.

They didn't get mad. Thigpen told Cherry that taking a visit to Texas probably wasn't a good idea because he had his spot and they hadn't recruited any other MLBers at that point. Kirkland had already inquired about space at UT but Cherry had that spot and they told him the numbers would not work at that time. Cherry decided to go to Texas and made comments about it being his "dream school" following the visit and the coaches decided to open up the MLB position in the class.

Way too much drama, and I'm glad we're out of it!

Hope he finds his "dream school"-- wherever it ends up being.
