The big question - does it matter? Surely we wouldn't let him sign unless he stonecold guarantees he'd come back to us immediately after juco if he doesn't qualify and given his recruitment so far, his word does not seem to be his bond.

Best case he rides it out like Harris. But that also means he can continue to be recruited elsewhere. Seems like a no-win position

247 poster said he needs 5 As to pass requirements and can only take 4 classes this semester. Guess he could take a couple over the Summer but...sounds uhm...unlikely.

Atlanta Vol said if he wants in, we will get him qualified.

How does that work? Someone on staff calls him and teachers and parents every other day and tells his ass to go home and study? Send tutors to his hometown? Always been curious how to do this legally, I'm sure there are ways and with an out-of-state kid you absolutely have to. You know Saban would love be thrilled to catch a rival cheating.

I believe the coaches will have a better understanding of requirements and his situation than 247 posters. If the coaches decide to take a chance on him it will be a informed decision which considers alot of different factors.

Tennessee is expecting to host one of the biggest targets left on its 2019 recruiting board this weekend. According to sources close the recruitment of five-star George Pickens, the Vols are expected to host the elite wide receiver on the final recruiting weekend before National Signing Day on Feb. 6.

Pickens, a 6-foot-3.5, 190-pound prospect out of Hoover (Ala.) High School, has been committed to Auburn since July 21 but did not sign during the Early Signing Period in December and has continued to take official visits.

He was at Miami over the weekend and at Georgia two weeks ago. With time for one more official visit, it was expected that Pickens would either see Tennessee or Florida this weekend.

Pickens is a five-star receiver and ranked No. 24 nationally in the industry-generated 247Sports Composite. He’s the No. 4 wide receiver and the No. 1 prospect out of Alabama. The 247Sports ratings have Pickens as a four-star receiver, ranked No. 41 in the class and No. 1 in the state.

Pickens is one of a few highly rated prospects the Vols are pushing for as Signing Day creeps closer. Tennessee is still heavily involved with five-star offensive tackle Darnell Wright and is fighting Alabama, Washington and other schools for four-star linebacker Henry To'oto'o.

Price says UF is also expecting him this weekend so.....

Also said Auburn expected him to visit last weekend but he went to Miami instead.

I wouldn’t get too excited here.

Not sure where Price is getting that info but I don't see Pickens listed as a visitor on UF 247 board, they have a running list of visitors for this weekend already and his name isn't on it. Quick glance at UF Rivals and don't see any talk of him visiting over there either.

Maybe @HialeahGator can help

I would be ecstatic if we landed Wright, Pickens, Henry T, Russell, and blueshirted Harris.

That would have to push us really close to the top 10 nationally.

These are the kind of quality SEC players we need to get back to the top.

Ironically, the school who does NOT receive the OV would still be able to bring him in as a blue shirt if he eventually qualifies in June. If he DOES make the OV this weekend, then UT would have to sign him on NSD and risk losing the ship if he doesn't qualify.

Ya know...good point.

Still excited that he's (hopefully) taking an OV here, though.

It all depends on what your definition of legal is
Getting JJ and JJP in was nothing short of “miraculous”
