DeAnthony Arnett commits to Tennessee!

Sorry. I thought he was a jr college transfer.

I take that back. Unless all publications from the preseason are wrong, Rivera is a jr college transfer and he is a jr.

81 Mychal Rivera TE 6-4 240 Jr. Tr. Valencia, Calif. (College of the Canyons)

I guess I whiffed on that or read where he had 3 years to play or something. He's listed as Jr on utsports.com roster.

He is. He had 3 yrs of eligibility. Unless you're saying he'll go pro at jr

So he's listed as a jr but he has 3 years of eligibility? Not trying to argue; just trying to understand. He was a hs sr in '07, right? These transfer rules confuse me. I'll just look for a guy with "Rivera" on the back of his jersey. When I no longer see him, then I'll know he graduated.

I follow a decent bit on who we are trying to recruit, I don't remember seeing his name at all on anyone's list of players we might get. Wonder if there are any more of these hidden recruits...

Not sure how you could have missed Arnett...he's been the most talked about guy for the past month.

Welcome to Arnett. Great to have you aboard. This is just the beginning of the good recruiting news for the Vols. This class will be a major step in rebuilding us back to where we belong. Great job Dooley and staff.
 
Thats one ugly hat he's wearing.. Since when did Michigan move? Didnt know Michigan was inside our "recruiting area".
 
We might owe some thanks to the way Bray has been playing, too. Great get, Dooley!

"We watched that game and Bray, man, I think that kind of sealed the deal with everything because I've kind of been flip-flopping between Tennessee and Michigan State. After watching that Memphis game with Tyler Bray it just sealed everything."
 
My favorite quote from Arnett is this:

"Coach Dooley is going to help make me a man."

We want to win bad here as well as we should, but we have a coach here at TN that cares about building integrity not only for the football program but for each individual person. We do send a lot of people to the NFL, but the majority will not make it. Coach Dooley is going to help these young men become the men that they should be and that is men that will represent this university and represent themselves and their families in the future.

Many people wonder if it will translate to wins on the field. I personally think so, but time will tell that story.
