'15 TN OT Drew Richmond (Former Ole Miss commit)

[Hyperion]

Hopefully he'll be able to figure out UT is a far superior choice to Ole Miss by signing day. If not, he made a really stupid decision and those closest to him are giving him poor advice.

Distance is the only reason to go to Ole Miss, but it's not like UT is in the Yukon. Early playing time and opportunity to win is going to be much better with the Vols.

It is hard to understand why recruiting has suddenly blossomed at Ole Mi$$.

The same reason it suddenly blossomed at Tenne$$ee. Amirite?

Freeze is not as dirty as Orgeron but close

That is such a good movie. My wife used to get mad cause everytime it was on tv I would watch it, so I decided to buy it and annoy her with it lol. Sucks about Richmond though.

I don't know why we even try in Memphis anymore. Disappointed to say the least...we really needed this one and I thought he was going to be a Vol up until about a week ago :/

Still waiting for photos of UT recruits with wads of cash and well placed honeys under each arm.

Also waiting for Butch's connection with well known rule violators such as Ed Orgeron.

Maybe Richmond simply doesn't want the responsibility of being "the man"....There are places out of the spotlight. Like Oxford, MS.

 

[Crazy Ivan]

Totally Sucks. As good of a recruiter as Butch is... How do we miss on this kids. Gotta make you wonder. Probably the same thing that richt though when he lost on the kids right in his back yard. I'm just going to say where there's smoke there's fire. Maybe it's just sour grapes but...

Yes, it appears to be sour grapes.

Looking forward to Kahlil's response. Or his first play against DR.

Yep.

He probably just did not want to face KMac in practice every day.

 

[Biopsyman]

My gut says that was shot somewhere near Fraiser

 

[Catbone]

Stupid decision.

 

[rackhead]

Hate that we missed out on this guy. Would've been a huge get. But now knowing he ain't coming to the hill, which O-lineman do we start courtin' now?
Go Vols!

 

[Ethan Hooper]

Good for Ole Miss. Their class is still well below average.

 

[drvenner]

I am assuming that this is still not over. I guess we will see if he comes here on an OV or a UV.

He is supposed to come for both IIRC.

If I was Butch I would not waste my time recruiting the Memphis area. Them kids grow up Ole miss fans and its to much time trying to get them from ole miss. I would put all my efforts towards the middle Tn state and Atlanta area. Richmond going to Ole miss was not a surprise at all!

 

[itouchedthe_bUTch]

Oh well if he sticks he will regret his decision 2-3 years from now. Go vols!

 

[jimallvol]

Memphis is East Arkansas/North Mississippi, not Tennessee.

U nailed it!

I disagree. If their is an elite talent in Tennessee, you recruit him. As far as Memphis kids growing up fans of Ole Miss, I'm not sure that's the case. There is a strong Ole Miss influence in Memphis, but kids this age change their favorite team constantly. When we start to win, you will see.
