I will just add my totally uninformed opinion that he will definitely pick the Ole Louisiana Aggies. Honestly, I tend to agree with a lot of other posters in that it simply appears, for whatever reason, he does not want to play at Tennessee. I will be ecstatic if he picks us but I have already lost too much sleep over this one. Wait, I have not lost any sleep, because I believe in Butch.

I really don't know anything new this morning. I just won't be surprised either way at this point and that's not a cop out. I know he has family that want him in Knoxville but they're leaving the decision up to him. That's what I've been told. I'm hopeful. He would be a good addition but it's not like we're holding our breath for McKenzie's decision or something. If he chooses to go somewhere else, there are several other equally or possibly more talented kids that WANT to come to Knoxville. I'm very thankful Ugo took his talents to LSU. He really did us a favor by leaving an extra spot in this crowded class.

I know we want to get everybody (especially in state kids) but it just doesn't work this way. I'm in no way conceding that Kyle won't be in this class because I think I could flip a coin have as a good a guess as anyone. With our game being tomorrow afternoon, I doubt I would know anything before Saturday morning, if then. Would love to get 2 out of 3 on Saturday but I'm not sure about any of them.

BTW, you are definitely passionate about recruiting. You are on it! This stuff will drive you crazy if you're not careful!

Imo this dude is not a Vol...too bad for him. That will be his loss. The kids that finally put UT back on top, especially the Tennessee kids, will be legends and beloved forever. We that are old enough even remember the role players from UTs glory years. After this horrible, hellish nightmare we have been through, anybody on the team that brings us back, can pretty much write their ticket in any proffesion they choose, as long as they stay out of trouble.

If he chooses LSU now after all that has went down, he's never wanted to be a VOL. It's that simple. For whatever reason, confidence that we're on the trajectory, at the pace he expects, personality conflicts with staff, DB in front of him (doubtful), or whatever. If he goes to LSU I think he'd be missing something special that's happening at his home state school.

Exactly the way I feel.
 
Franklin Vol didn't sound overly confident this has been nuts he must have never wanted to come here in the first place- can't wait for this circus of a recruitment to be over- need more players that WANT to be here like Mckenzie- I will be booming of course if he chooses us but honestly ready to move on... GBO!!
 
Hope he's a Vol because we need to replace Hendrix. But honestly, I'd get much more enjoyment in him choosing the Vols and breaking up the package deal Ugo has been promising for weeks. I'd laugh.

the waves go up and down, Lsu's are on their way down though and Tn's are going way up. get on the boat or sink., it's your choice, Kyle.
 
I hope he decides to come here because he wants to be here,not because his family wants him here or he feels pressure to make a choice quickly being an Ee and all.Just dont want another hendrix situation where he ends up leaving after the year because this isnt really where he wanted to be in the first place or he isnt fully invested.
