Here's the transcript for anyone who missed it:
7th Grader(Seattle): what was the biggest factor in your decision?
SportsNation Eric Berry: (5:05 PM ET ) I would probably say Coach. I saw him a lot through the recruiting process. All the coaches were straightforward with me.
Gabe (Dallas, TX) : Eric, do you think you will have a chance to start right away or will you redshirt?
SportsNation Eric Berry: (5:06 PM ET ) No, the plan is for me to start right away. I was told I'd be starting if I keep working hard like I am now.
Colin MacGuire (Chicago, IL): Eric, Welcome to Big Orange Country!! Vol Nation is very excitted to have you on board. What position do you see yourself playing at?
SportsNation Eric Berry: (5:06 PM ET ) Thank you. I plan on playing cornerback.
Nick (Lexington): Hey Eric, how do you compare yourself against the other CB on Tennessee
SportsNation Eric Berry: (5:07 PM ET ) I can't really compare myself to the other cornerbacks, because I never really played CB until the game in Texas.
Ian (Monahans, Texas): Eric, we've all heard you may get some special packages on Offense. Are you confident that you will see time on the field with some of these packages as a Freshman?
SportsNation Eric Berry: (5:08 PM ET ) Yes, I'm pretty sure that could happen. As soon as I get comfortable on the defense, I think I could learn some offensive plays.
chauncey (teaneck): did your dad make any impact on your decision?
SportsNation Eric Berry: (5:08 PM ET ) I think he did a little bit. I think he did unconsciously. He just told me about his time in college.
chauncey (teaneck): what nfl player do you compare yourself to?
SportsNation Eric Berry: (5:09 PM ET ) He's not playing right now, but Deion Sanders. He showed you can be seen on defense if you're making the plays.
Lane (Kukuihaele, HI): Which coach was it hardest to say "sorry I'm not coming to your school" to?
SportsNation Eric Berry: (5:09 PM ET ) The hardest one was the d-coordinator at Auburn. It was tough, but Auburn just wasn't for me. It's part of the process and you just have to be a man and tell them.
Sam (Augusta): Eric what made you decide against UGA?
SportsNation Eric Berry: (5:10 PM ET ) It was a series of events that occurred with me and Georgia. I just didn't feel as much as I did with Tennessee.
Taylor: (Nashville, TN): Welcome to the BIG ORANGE Eric! What's your biggest strength and what do you need to work on the most? And will you wear #1?
SportsNation Eric Berry: (5:11 PM ET ) I would say my natural athletic ability and work ethic is my strength. The technical part of the game is the area I'll have to work on, after not playing the position until the game in Texas.
Kevin (Tenn) *thats me!!*: Welcome to the big orange country Eric! We are glad to have you. How is your relationship with some of the fellow commitments in this class, UT or otherwise?
SportsNation Eric Berry: (5:11 PM ET ) It's been good. We bonded quickly. There were some in San Antonio. We were just ready to get to Tennessee after that game.
Willie (Portland, OR): Why did you decide on playing corner versus saftey, receiver, running back, etc.?
SportsNation Eric Berry: (5:12 PM ET ) At cornerback, I see longevity. I see more money, also, to be honest. It's the hardest position to play on the field, so why not play there.
Brice (Tennessee): What is your favorite thing about UT?
SportsNation Eric Berry: (5:13 PM ET ) Just the university itself. There's a lot of stuff that's involved in the university. There's a lot of places to go.
Chris (NJ): Eric, Who are u looking forward to playing most, and do u think you'll have an immediate impact on your team
SportsNation Eric Berry: (5:13 PM ET ) I would say Georgia.
7th Grader(Seattle): me and my friend were watching your film and we couldn't believe how fast you were! what do you run in the 40 yard dash like a 4.00?
SportsNation Eric Berry: (5:14 PM ET ) Lately is was a 4.33 with a cast on my hand. I ran it again and I ran a 4.28 three times in a row.
SportsNation Eric Berry: (5:14 PM ET ) Thank you for the support.
SportsNation Buzzmaster: (5:14 PM ET ) Thanks Eric!
