To much pull for the vols. Family is vol fans, 20 min to campus. When we shine this year it will be to hard for him not to flip.

If he's not 100%, why not wait? I think the kids done. I think he knows Dabos no visit rule and is fine with it. I believe someone posted Tee said he's done with visits. If I were his parents, he would not be committing AGAIN this early unless it's over. JMO

Just saw the video in the recruitment thread about Tee. Wasn't surprised at all. I was thinking he was leaning towards the Tigers for months now.

Sad to see & makes me wanna puke! I think it's the real deal. It hurts & hurts bad but we must move on. Tee is going to be a Clemson Tiger. I feel 99%-100% about that now. :ermm:

No coach can keep a 5 Star #1 WR that can go anywhere he wants from visiting anywhere.... Coaches ain't stupid and kids aren't either. Dabo can pull that mess with kids that don't have a lot of options remaining. You can't do it with a kid with plenty of sharks in the water waiting for blood. To think Tee won't show up on campus to watch free football at a school he grew up a fan of in a big year is stupidity. He will show up whether it's publicized or he just pops in. He said before he will still do officials.

Another thing I've noticed is a lot of people want to blame Butch for losing Higgins to Clemson. Butch probably did everything he could to convince Higgins to be a Vol but the kid chose to go elsewhere. It's not like Butch can go kidnap him and make him play for Tennessee. All coaches can do is pitch in different reasons on why a certain recruit should come here. Butch deserves no blame cause I'm sure he recruited him the hardest out of any school. Clemson just won the battle in the end unfortunately.

"We're hearing having a run first offense with little production out of wrs since this staff has been here played a big part"

With the backs Tennessee has and a QB that can run - Tennessee should be a run first offense.

There is nothing wrong with that type of offense - many championships have been won with that type of offense. Granted some recruits won't like it because it doesn't work for them.

Came down to one school saying we will get better and fix things wait and see vs one with lots of info on paper to back up words. If TN pass game makes a move this year and shows big play potential then they can come back to Tee with proof.

I believe the main thing our coaches can do is find a way to get more production from the passing game and get the long ball going.

Put yourself in his shoes...

Our WR coach is garbage and it shows on the field.

Until we become more balanced we will continue to slide backwards with WR production.

Some of you sound like a bunch of little girls. I think we should quit talking about this young man. He is either very confused or he played us. He did not have to commit today but since he chose to let's move on to kids who want to wear the power T orange.

PS. Dissing our recruiting in early July is Fools play. Why don't you little girls go play dolls!!!

Butch is the one that implemented an offense that refuses to throw the ball downfield to the receivers. Butch is the one who keeps Azzani on the staff even tho our WRs have been an embarrassment over the past 3 years. Butch is the one that can't win the big game or any type of championship.

Tee doesn't want to come here to run block 90% of the game. He wants to win in college and go on to the NFL, something the WRs here haven't been able to do under Butch

So when a player commits, the coach can now dictate what they can and can't do? Does he also guarantee to the player that their scholarship will not be rescinded if he needs to? Does he also guarantee that he or the coach that recruited the player will not leave the school?

A player would be very unwise to not keep doors open for the unexpected, IMO.

There is loyalty and then there blind loyalty.

Dabo actually doesn't renege on his commitments. It may hurt the talent pool a little but it has helped build a sense of trust as well.

This should be the year that tells all. Butch has all his guys now.
