'22 TN ATH/RB Dallan Hayden (Ohio State commit)

[Fingers]

He was here. He didn’t want it out but since Aaron tweeted a pic from the recruiting section then

He didn’t meet with the staff before or after so we will see if anything happens going forward. Mack has done a nice job there in recent weeks.

I know it said he didnt meet with the staff, but would this count as an official since he in the recruiting section? Or did his dad just get him an extra ticket?

That's a nice surprise.

Most of the kids in that section are not on "official" visits. A lot of those kids are not kids that would be on the radar. They give out a bunch of those tickets to players that are fairly close to establish relationships with schools etc. I've been on some of those. They are a great experience for some kids that won't get to play big-time football in a place like UT. They get to go back to school and brag that they were on a "recruiting trip" to UT, UT establishes pipelines/relationships with high schools....win/win. Except for being down there for the Bama game in 08.....that sucked.

TIFWIW. Price is tight with the family.

I’ve said this several times

I’ve said this several times

What?

 

[de1conley]

What?

I was referring to the graphic in which AP said ppl need to stop talking down and being idiots because a kid commits elsewhere.

That's especially true in the immediately eligible transfer environment.

It was interesting that - kind of of out of the blue - AP mentioned on the podcast today that that Hayden is friends with basketball recruit Chandler Jackson, who seems to be trending to UT.

 

[orange blossom]

What facts did I say that was not true? Not trying to sound cocky, but I didn't say anything wrong. If someone keeps up with recruiting, as I would assume an active person on a recruiting forum would, then it would be common sense that a win over Missouri isn't going to convince some 5 stars we aren't recruiting to come here

I'm very sorry, (allvolrecruiting), for posting your reply instead of the person you were replying to..... my mistake... You were so very correct in your assessment as you are in many of your posts. I find them intelligent and open-minded. Please except my apology.... BTW, I might, I just might slightly disagree with one thing you said...... OSU is not as good as previous years..... Hey, from what I have seen in the past 3 games they might be better..... With Strouds progression and a new play-caller for DC they look like a completely different team.

Hayden made it to the game but was trying to keep it quiet before some other people leaked it. Too early to tell whether much will come from it. I think it was a visit mainly intended to see whether they’re serious about taking a look at Tennessee. For now, I would just say the door is cracked for the Vols.

I think we will flip this kid.

I think we will flip this kid.

AP has mentioned his name more lately. When they were talking about the BB recruit from Memphis in the podcast that visited this weekend AP randomly mentioned that him and Hayden were friends.

AP thought we were good with the Wade twins up until their commitment to UK.

Just sayin

You are correct until time for them to commit. Just thought it was a random mention when they were talking about a BB recruit.

so did literally everyone else. Wiltfong put a CB in for UT, but changed it right before the commitment

A cracked door eventually swings open. I’ll take it.

Meh. I would rather have a guy who actually wants to be here.

If he signs here then that means he wants to be here.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Exactly. That’s what recruiting is…convincing guys that they want to be here.

Yep….. I would fight as hard as I could to get players to decide to come here.

 

[allvolrecruiting]

That's literally what recruiting is, convincing guys to want to be here. They aren't just going to automatically want to play under a new staff fighting for bowl eligibility.
