"When I was up at Tennessee last year, it was a place that I could see myself at. It is a beautiful campus, I love the hospitality there and just the overall people are great. It seemed like a good fit for me there, so I am going to work with their coaches at a camp June 22."
The dead period kicks in June 24 this year, and Dean will take that week to think things over, talk his final visits over with those close to him, then announce his decision.
"I will be ready July 4," said Dean. "My top five has no order, but I will commit to one of these schools. I have to finish up my visits, see how I feel, then I will be ready. The coaches are always leaving, so falling in love with a school is very important for me. That is what I am searching for."
