We are told that a video with four different endings was shot and that Rouse has had communication with each coaching staff into this week.
The buzz has been around Tennessee. They offered very early in the process, they have the longest standing relationships and the staff has gotten to know Rouse and his family better than anyone. The Vols have been perceived as the team to beat for much of this race.
Texas has gained real momentum this spring and summer with multiple visits to Austin. The staff has laid out their plan and the buzz around the Longhorns picked up after the official visit.
Steve Sarkisian‘s program has made a big push late.
You cannot completely rule out the Crimson Tide or Wolverines, but the optimism is not near the same in Tuscaloosa or Ann Arbor as it is in Knoxville and Austin. It would be surprising if it is not the Vols or Longhorns when the dust settles Tuesday evening.
“The schools showed me everything that they could tell me, they told me everything that they could tell me, so I had to make a decision,” Rouse said.
