Paul Harris has committed to UT!!!!!

[sjt18]

To be fair, and I can't believe you guys are making me defend Kiff, you don't think he sits at home and plots ways to destroy UT do you?

He's recruiting Tennessee when he could fill his class 3 or 4 times over with as good or better talent within 150 miles of his campus. He obviously won't waste scholarships on guys he does not believe in. OTOH, I don't think he's exactly benign toward the Vols either. Narcissists are by nature vindictive.

BTW, booms are appropriate after NSD.

Panic will ensue here if USC drops someone or has someone open their commitment.

So you know for a fact that Paul Harris is a boldfaced liar when he says that he picked Tennessee after praying about it and discussing it with his parents for weeks. Okay.

As for me, I have no reason to believe that he didn't pick UT, just as he says he did.

If he were as accomplished and good a liar as you make him out to be, I have to believe he could find somewhere else that he'd be more comfortable. Like Vanderbilt, for one. No way a kid like you are describing isn't more comfortable with Franklin than Dooley.

Sorry man but its true - it more of a pride thing and these recruits are very prideful. Happens all the time.. why else do you see people with hats on the table of teams that stopped recruiting them weeks ago? And how about the kid that committed to Wisconsin when he didn't even have an offer?

His prayer may have been that God would send him a sign... maybe he believes that sign was having no place in USC's class?

I never said anything remotely like God told him to do it. My point was that Bruno's post (USC "wouldn't" take his commitment", meaning he tried to commit and they said, 'no thanks') leads you to either the conclusion that this kid is a liar and a very polished and good one, or that Bruno is guessing and at least wrong about the kid's perspective on it.

I just think, based on how this kid talks and comports himself at the age of 16 or 17 that it is substantially more likely that he made his own decision just as he claimed to and that Bruno is just making a pessimistic guess that serves his purpose of generally being negative. I'm willing to bet that the kid is more well informed about the process than Bruno, too.

The only person talking about God having made the decision is you. I think that's ludicrous on it's face.

So, long and short of it is that there is reasonable evidence to support Harris' version and nothing but blind faith and general pessimism to support Bruno's. There's not a soul on this board who knows what the USC coaching staff would have done if Harris had committed there and I don't have any faith in Bruno being somehow omnicient. So, I will believe Harris' version until I see credible evidence to the contrary.

Lol okay butthurt barry - the writing is on the wall - take of the orange shades. Not sure why you're so upset about USC being full - it resulted in us getting a great prospect.
