"Silent" Vols Commit Wavers (Rivals)

[rok_etop]

I silently committed to the Vols today. You will see me playing in the Orange and White. Maybe......

 

[rickyyrs]

Is see what you did there. Not high on the grammar, but love the point.

lol Yeah it was suppose to say. will be coming with him. My bad:dance2:

 

[OrangeDog]

On rivals.com it has an article on the main page that says we have a silent commit wavering..?

Whatever happened to the gold ole days of the Non-waivering silent commits??

 

[TheRain]

If a silent commit flips will volnation feel a tremor we don't understand?

 

[Cartervol]

Silent must not be so silent..

 

[ajvol01]

Oh there have been many, a couple big o lineman in the late Fulmer years: Logan El was one can't remember the other.

So that must mean Simms was a public silent... I guess.

So if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear, does it make a noise? Let the debate!

Maybe not, but some hack writer will make up something about a silent tree making a big boom soon!:crazy:

 

[Orange to the Bay]

So, if this is referring to Martin, does anyone know how many years he has to play. #10 overall JUCO is pretty solid! I'd take him!

That's easy. Just leave a recording device in the forest and play it back after the tree has fallen. There will be a noise.

Whoever wants to be a vol come,if you don't go somewhere else

Silent commitments hahaha those have always gone well for the Vols, you would think we would eventually learn our lesson. Just off the top of my head Ronnie Brown, Cadillac Williams, Chris Simms, Gabe Wright, among many others were at one time or another "silent" commits. We could field an entire team of all americans who were once silent to UT haha.

Was Simms and actually silent or did he commit on TV? I don't remember so well these days

Sorry just read the other reply about Simms....I did remember so well.....just don't trust myself anymore

Simms definitely commited publicly, on TV. His dad was all about some Coach Cut and our OL in some articles.

 

[landscapingvol]

Meh on Simms, he was vastly over-rated

 

[thomaseusin]

So that must mean Simms was a
public silent... I guess.

Those types are deadly fwiw

Ugo Amadi posted on Saturday he will announce on Tuesday between Tennessee and LSU, and DE Kyle Phillips will coming with him.

LSU plays in Nashville (his hometown) on Tuesday, too.

LSU plays in Nashville (his hometown) on Tuesday, too.

Two scenarios:
1. he selected this date because LSU is in town and he wants to give them his commitment then or
2. Butch told him to commit to Tennessee on this date because LSU is in town.

My gut is the first. Kyle Phillips has always wavered and so has Ugo Amadi.

I want them but I don't think it makes or breaks our class.

I do not believe 2--Butch wouldn't flaunt it in LSU's face--that's Kiffinesque and Butch doesn't operate that way.

I can understand why some some kids want to leave their home states but I certainly don't understand why a Tennessee kid would turn the Vols down. Great facilities , great fan support, and education.

jmo, but I don't Butch would view it this way. LSU is in our backyard marketing, so to speak, and this would merely be a response to that.

Interesting perspective. I hadn't thought of it that way--I still think it's abit too dramatic for Butch but that may be because I think Ugo is going to LSU anyway.
