'20 TN CB Keshawn Lawrence (UT SIGNEE)

[Montrell Hardy]

I told you all just relax this is a hard situation to blow. He loves UT and Ansley will get it done.

Were you at the combine last week? One of my buddies brought a couple of Cincy kids down there. He told me the two most impressive '20 prospects he saw were Lawrence and the lineman from Ravenwood. Seems like he's flown under the radar big-time.

Simonton was really talking up the Ravenwood kid. Committed to Duke. Graham Barton, Ravenwood, Offensive Tackle

Who do you feel good about

We've had the most traction with Baron. He's the linchpin of that in-state group, and if he'll commit this summer, I think we could see 5-6 not too far behind him.

So the OSU stuff is bs?

I was wondering that too. I don't feel particularly good about landing him. Some of the OSU talking heads have said the family is split on where he should go and the one side wants him at OSU badly.

That is kind of what I have seen as well via people who live in Nashville/Knoxville it appears.

Putting fandom aside, OSU is on my list of schools that I would never push a family member towards.
Maybe I'm too much of a stickler but the current off field stuff is too much to justify suggesting them to "a loved one".

He seems to like them. That whole group wants to take their visits and have some fun, so he'll probably go back to OSU, Auburn, VT and some other schools. IDT Baron or any of the in-staters are a slam dunk to UT right now. But I don't get the impression we're losing ground, either. The negative recruiting isn't helping, but that's how some programs recruit.

I would be very surprised if Baron did not sign with UT, he did not move to Knoxville just because he had a burning desire to transfer to Knox Catholic.

 

[LA Vol]

The OSU stuff is coming from his brother and uncle in Nashville. If they can't get him to go to VT, they'd probably like to steer him away from UT. He moved away from his mother's side of the family and is with his father now. If he thinks OSU is the best fit, he could go there. But IDT his mother's family will be the deciding factor on where he goes.

Why do they want to steer him away from UT

WGWTFA that's why

Let's hope not, because I doubt he'll be a Vol if that's the case.

Sounds like par for the course

 

[BigorangeBoy]

Sounds like the DB from the Chattanooga area a few years ago, older brother really lobbied hard for him to go to OSU - then amazingly Urban gets the brother a job...

Von Bell?

Von Bell?

Yes, thanks

Double jeopardy!

VT players don't seem to like UT much. I think both his brother and uncle lost to UT while at VT. And IDT UT really recruited his brother, Woody, so maybe he felt slighted. Woody did some big talking before the Battle at Bristol, so that beatdown probably left a bad taste, too. Safe to say-- the brother's not a UT fan.

That’s some petty stuff. If Baron is smart with the coaching talent we have he will stay in Knoxville... smh at his family.

 

[901LookAlive]

If Baron wants to make some money he better roll with Pruitt over a guy name Ryan Day.

 

[Jackcrevol]

cb from kevin ryan?

its happening?

Not deciding for months

Among the in-state targets, the Vols continue to position themselves well with 4-star safety Keshawn Lawrence. The Ensworth prospect was among the top performers in Nashville, posting an impressive SPARQ score and earning an invite to the Opening Finals. New DC Derrick Ansley has quickly formed a strong relationship with Lawrence.
