'22 NC DE James Pearce (Tennessee signee)

[Weezer]

Sounds like he doesn't want to come to Tennessee. Waiting on "prettier girls" to break up with their current boyfriends....

We're the prettiest girl there is, dammit.

Well, we have the same taste in "girls"...

TOP EDGE-RUSHER TARGET WEIGHING OPTIONS

Four-star edge rusher James Pearce of Julius L. Chambers High School in Charlotte, N.C., still hasn’t taken any official visits since his trip to Missouri in June, and sources close to his recruitment have indicated that he’s likely to wait until National Signing Day in February to sign. But that still might be up in the air. Mike Ekeler, Tennessee’s outside linebackers coach and special teams coordinator, was in Raleigh, N.C., on Saturday to watch Pearce’s state championship game, and the Vols have remained in good shape with him, with Georgia and South Carolina being among their main competition.

Sources haven’t been willing to rule out that the 6-foot-5, 220-pound Pearce still could sign this week. It appears to be only an outside possibility at this point, but it’s at least worth noting, with Tennessee still looking to add at least one more edge rusher to its 2022 class. If Pearce chooses to sign early, sources believe the Vols would have a realistic shot at landing him. He attended three of their home games this season, and they have been among his top choices for months.

Won’t sign this week per his high school coach. Will take officials in January.

Likely waits until February but the door is cracked, 15-20% chance he signs with UT tomorrow per AP.

I thought I read he has some academic problems. Maybe he is being encouraged to wait.

I went to college in Laurinburg for awhile and went past Charlotte to get to Laurinburg.

I have always wondered why Tennessee does not recruit the Mecklenburg area of North Carolina harder.

Williams was never in question…… just manufactured drama.

A poster, when talking about several recruits down the stretch, said "I honestly want Pearce more than any of them."

AP replied: ""

That's it. Could be a hint, but reading more into that may be wishful thinking. Here's to wishful thinking!
