247 Bama has an article on DJ Jones mentioning that the tide and others are still recruiting him. TN was not one of those schools.

This has to mean game. Set. Match on Tuttle.

Its been like this for awhile. People thought I was crazy for saying UT chose Tuttle over Jones, but Jones is a much better fit at an established program as Tuttle is a much better fit for us.

Never said he wasn't. He is a one and done. A one and done won't help UT nearly as much as a 4 year elite d tackle.

I would rather have the 4 year DTs but the JUCO DTs can definitely help UT in the short term but since all the DTs are coming at the same class I would take all the badass HS DTs we could get.

That's not realistic. There is only so much early pt you can sell. Tuttle won't come here if he landed Jones

I agree with this. And if Jones is the player we think he is then he is one and done. I would rather have Tuttle with 3-4 years here since he is likely to provide depth and play a little as a freshman. Plus he has tremendous upside as well. If we get Settle too then we slammed dunk most programs at DT this year.

Maybe that was worded wrong. What meant to say was JUCO DTs could definitely help short term but since all of these DTs are going to be in the same class we should just take all the badass HS DTs.

Yeah we have assumed but this pretty much seals it since jones himself doesn't mention TN as someone he talks to anymore. If we were worried about our DT recruiting we would still keep recruiting jones

If we pull Tuttle and Settle with what we already have, we slam dunked EVERY program at the DT position. No other team can touch that haul.

A poster on the UT board that is from tuttle's area is saying some intresting things such as
I heard that Tuttle was spotted in Chapel Hill over the weekend and has recently been spotted in all UNC gear. Also heard that it mom has wanted him in Chapel Hill all along but it was coaches and his uncle who are pushing UT. He has also state before that he is a mama's boys. Is there any clarification on his stance? Can anyone overcome mom?
Also, Chad Simmons posted an interview on Scout with Tuttle yesterday. He said that UNC and NCSU are recruiting him the hardest. He also said what he liked most out of his top 3. UT he says is a football school, NCSU has great coaches and UNC feels like home. That last line scares as I am inclined to think that Chapel Hill is where he feels most comfortable, not to mention they are recruiting him hardest or that they just lost 4 DL and Shy would almost be guaranteed early playing time if he enrolls early. It has also been confirmed that he in fact was in Chapel Hill on Saturday.
I don't give a damn what the Crystal Balls are saying. I do not feel good about him ending up in Knoxville
Is he already scheduled to attend a game? He already acknowledges that UT is a football school so I am not expecting much in the way of it surprising him. Recruiting follows where you are most comfortable, who you are most comfortable with, and the opportunity to contribute. He doesn't talk about UT, who he talks to at UT or that UT in on his trail, yet he says that UNC feels like home, acknowledged last week that he speaks to their DL coach multiple times a week, says they are recruiting him the hardest, and takes unplanned and non-publicized visits to Chapel Hill a month before his decision. Also, I am from Davidson County and although I haven't been back there in years, the chatter I passed along before about being seen in UNC gear and his mom overwhelmingly favoring UNC are things I have discussed with friends still in the area. It's more like Barbershop chatter. Also, I have said nothing about what I read. The interview is a video of Shy and sources have confirmed he was in Chapel Hill because UNC posted pictures of him at their scrimmage. They have since been taken down but it has been confirmed that he was there.
I am not jumping off the cliff in terms of Shy, I just felt compelled to speak up after I have been lurking here for 3 months and have seen too much confidence in terms of his recruitment, in wake of very little evidence other than a few CB predictions. This one is far from over.
Thank you and don't worry, I will stay around.
As for what I quoted above, I think that may be what UNC is doing. I heard this evening that they convinced Shy to take another visit back to Chapel Hill and when he did, they put recently introduced Graduate Assistant, Ryan Sims, who spent 10 years in the NFL and was a 1st round pick out of UNC, on him. From what I was told, Shy appeared very impressed. I don't know how long UNC will keep Ryan around, but it's definitely not good for others if he can help recruit for them without being able to go on recruiting trips.

I think Tuttle is a vol, just brought it here for the discussion.
