Dawson announcement link (9AM)

[Bobby720]

Wow, stab in the back to the Volnation.

 

[VolsFanRJ]

We will be fine guys. We will have more than we can enroll anyways. Things are good on the hill.

 

[VolFromNashville]

Man. I hope arnett is correct. But i can actually see why he'd go to usc. the scorn from his neighbors won't be as bad if he just leaves the area all together...

 

[vinlyn_SC]

He is going to USC

 

[RichRollin]

arnett "i knew dawson was going elsewhere but we got bigger news"

That's what I'm talking about. We need a DT damnit.

 

[WAVol]

I think our LB commitment list scared Dawson away. I wish the kid the best, but as much as it would have been nice to sign him, the truth is we have a top notch class of LB's already secured, and we have greater needs.

 

[RichRollin]

How in the hell is Florida #5 on ESPN recruiting rankings?

 

[mitzustu]

He is going to USC

lol ya enjoy not going to a bowl game this year....

 

[duckman398686]

didnt want him anyway!!!!!!!

yeah, ok

 

[Crew]

...spilled milk. Wish him the best though.

 

[VOLNBAMA]

I honestly think the UK fans made him want to get away

 

[TNVolunteerGrad]

I didnt think USC was even in the running, assumed Us, Uk or oregon

Agree. he told our coaches he was a Vol last night. This morning, he knew he couldn't pull the trigger in front of that crowd.

that has to mean Wright or Jernigan..... richardson wouldnt be "big news" at least not a surprise

 

[Cornvol]

Wish him the best.. but HUGE mistake IMO:no:

LOL...we only have 2 SEC-caliber LBs in this class, and will only have 1 if Maggitt eventually moves to DE. Accept that we simply lost out on Dawson and move on.

 

[TNVolunteerGrad]

I feel like he was conflicted, this decision probably tormented him... good luck Dawson.

 

[mitzustu]

bmoore in response to arnett "dawson is the only one we dont get today" yyyyyyyyyyaaaaa baby

 

[MarathonVol]

Good luck to you, Lamar. I wish you the best, but hope your team never wins another game.

 

[SGMVols]

No, he just told UK coaches he was going elsewhere. People here just ran with it and assumed that meant he was going to UT.

 

[bleedorange0037]

Just like last year, NSD is off to a bad start for the Vols. Hopefully things pick up later in the day. Who's the next to announce and what time should we expect that?

Well look who it is

 

[JVol76]

Yup, and guaranteed we wouldn't have heard a damn peep out of him if Dawson had picked UT.
