Serious answer, as respectful to the young man as possible, he was no longer pursued.
There's a reason he flipped to Memphis and not Clemson etc.

Edit: accidentally said Vandy instead of Memphis.

It says right in the article:

"The move doesn’t come as a huge surprise to Tennessee. The consensus from those covering Tennessee’s recruiting seemed to believe that Clemons wouldn’t be a part of the Vols’ 2019 class one way or another. Clemons ended up taking matters into his own hands rather than waiting around for a decision to be made for him, and he took his services to Memphis."

So no, I wouldn't call this a big deal.

Nope

Huge get for head coach Mike Norvell and his staff. Clemons is now Memphis’s highest ranked recruit in the 2019 class.

3 star

I bet its because we don't have an OC. Look for more to flip until we get one.

Part of me wished Pruitt would name himself OC...just for the reaction.

Almost sounds like we wanted him to put off his signing while we looked for higher ranked recruits (or to further vet him for grades or something). It that regard, it's ok.

On the other hand, he was DL and so that kind of sucks but I think we can get someone of equal or better value to replace him (probably Khris Bogle: fingers crossed).

Have no information but, the fact is, over the years many guys end up at Memphis or other "like" schools when "things" other than football ability are concerns or facts. Don't you or any one wonder how "world beaters" end up a schools other than SEC level? You know if a guy is gonna be or is great, if possible, a SEC type school would have him.
As I remember, this was one reason Ga. Tech moved to the ACC, back then their entrance requirements were too tough to compete for the guys they need for sports. They aligned better with the ACC requirements.

 

[DC_Vol]

This class is starting to fall apart.

 

[Jax_Vol]

After we signed 20ish early, he was no longer 'a take'.

Happens all the time.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Our table scraps are Memphis’ highest rated recruit

 

[Volfan2012]

Someone over on Basilio had said over a week ago that there were two on the commit list that we would not sign he was one of them.

Did you even read the article you posted?

 

[Gandalf]

Good for Norvel and this kid. All part of the plan. Almost full and Pruitt has to have space for those last few 4* and 5*s.

 

[GameTime]

Now Memphis is a major player......

You realize that Memphis has been the best team in the state the last few years.

 

[The Original Fade]

Nope


3 star

Agree. A roster full of 3*s means getting boat raced by the top tier teams in our conference. Good luck to the young man

a DE recruit flips because we don't have an OC ? even the dog is chuckling and shaking his head ... LOL

Are you calling a 3* recruit elite? Am I missing the blue font?

You wouldn’t notice the difference.
