I hear locally here in Oak Ridge... since the flip he has been driving a Lexus, all bs aside.

Maybe his folks had a college fund for him and with the scholarship, let him get nicer wheels. Or maybe it is an older Lexus (I don't know, just speculating). I've seen kids drive new BMW s to high school and wondered how and why but I wouldn't conclude something improper.

That stuff about Lawrence is pure bunk. Jones pushed hard for this kid when he was a freshman. Don't make stuff up!

Lawrence said himself that our staff wasn't communicating much with him, and he didn't have a good relationship with the coaches. So, not bunk. :hi:

I know of the family, good people, but that's not the case.

NO, he stopped communicating because he didn't want to play in our system. The stuff about us not pushing hard is the bunk part. The parting of the ways occurred early this fall from the Lawrence camp. Those are the facts!

I have a good idea why Higgins is going to Clemson. They win 10 games every year, they just won a national championship, and they have been putting WRs in the NFL at a steady pace lately. They have had back to back QBs throw for over 10,000 yards. Dobbs had around 7,100 in his career. They use their WRs effectively and develop them for the NFL. I know we claim WRU and we have a great history, but Clemson is kicking our butt right now. They take about anybody they want from us.

Meanwhile on Rocky Top...

He got paid to go to Clemson. Him and his whole family were decked out in UT gear when he committed to Tennessee and Clemson came knocking with a bag full of money and that's the end of the story. JMO

Why aren't we paying players if Bama and Clemson and others are doing it and signing 5 star talent?

Have you not noticed the cluster$%#^ going on with the AD position? We have a bunch of incompetent boobs who haven't figured out to tell the NCAA to go kick rocks when they come sniffing around. Alabama has a NCAA president that allows them to have carte blanche when it comes to recruiting, PEDs, players selling their autographs for cash, etc. Clemson like Ole Miss just doesn't care and figures they will go ahead and roll the dice. Now that Clemson has won a title, they can take less risks. Ole Miss got caught with their hand in the cookie jar. Comes down to Tennessee is not a school where the boosters, BOT, president, chancellor, or even the media are on the same page. Everyone is in business for themselves. That's what is different.

The narrative that Dabo is taking our top talent is extremely overblown. They got one. Amari isn't that good imo and was never coming here anyway because of his daddy. So dabo got one great player from TN. Meanwhile we have the best player in the state in smith, the best RB in state, one of the best in the country in Chandler, Gray, Fant, and many others this class. And let's not forget we have the best player in next years class already committed in Mays along with one of the best in Taylor as well. Clemson is not poaching our top talent

I actually think Amari will be better than Tee will.... Just watching their tapes and seeing techniques I like him better than Tee.

We have Jordan Murphy who will turn out to be better than Tee Higgins..move on...I'd much rather have Jeff Thomas if I had to choose and we actually have a shot at him.
