To All of the recruits and families that visited Knoxville and fell in love with the University of Tennessee, stay committed. The atmosphere that you have enjoyed, the obnoxious fan base, the loud rowdy crowds will never change. Neyland will remain TENNESSEE STRONG.

Adversity can and will show up at any school your athlete chooses to attend. That's just a way of life. Right now you're being smoozed by every school to get you to choose them. If you heart lead you to Tennessee, then stay committed to Tennessee. My family went thru this exact same scenario of coaching transition in 2013 with Tennessee. We knew the possibility of the coach not remaining there before my son ever stepped foot on campus. The recruiting coaches were brutually honest with us when he came into my living room. The one thing that stood out to me then and still until this day is my son saying Tennessee showed him LOVE. That love was never about coach or just one person. That was the love of the surroundings that he would spend 5 years in.

So whatever school you may choose and no matter what's going on stay loyal. There's no place like Knoxville. I guarantee that.

NOOOOO... i'm a creeper now... I just don't post, but today thought it was necessary.

Y'all KNOW what we went through. For the families, they're worried and up in the air. THey have other schools talking in their ear hating on UT. UT didn't change through the transition, and I'm certain after 125 years of existence, Tennessee won't change in another 125 years. We pass this love and obnoxiousness on to our generations. Naming our children Neyland, Knox, and many more things related to UTK.

Hopefully I'm the voice of reason to stay. There's no place like UTK.

Only thing I would change is it's closer to 225 years for UTK. Looks like the 126th anniversary for UT football is coming up this Tuesday.

Thank you.

My heart just goes out to the families that are in that state of confusion. People come and go; Neyland stays the same.

I know how I was 5 years ago coming on this board. Just to see what fan base was like. It hasn't changed, not one bit. Prayerfully the opportunity to keep the commits and their heart speaks over the coaches whispering in their ear trying to flip them comes across in my messages.

FYI:

Recruit parents...... If you hear a coach tell you that your 4 or 5 star kid doesn't belong at Tennessee and they speak against another school instead of talking up the school they're recruiting from; be CAUTIOUS! A coaches job is to get your kid to buy-in and motiviate your child. Keep them hype and excited about "THEM" personally. That's a financial tactic. The more stars behind your son, the higher the coaches bonus money is for recruiting you kid. The stars aren't as much about your kid as it is about the coaches loot. Everything in sports reverts to the almighty dollar.

In the meantime, keep in mind that your commitment to ANY school is a partnership. Your kid is there to be educated in exchange he plays football. We don't send our kids to college to play sports. Football is the means to debt free education; not the goal. The degree(s) is the goal. Don't get it twisted. What's better than a degree from the University of Tennessee? NOTHING.

Great post MzTerry! Hopefully this gets out. We do have some absolute snarling fans but I can guarantee that these young men will remember running through that Power T for the rest of their lives. Come on over the UT and let's go win a Natty!

My kids went to school right across the street from your son's high school. GREAT area for a family!!
Hated when Dreamland burnt down. Not a fan of the new seafood place they built in its place.
