'27 TN CB Miles Brown (Kensucky commit)

[Sandman Vol]

I don't understand the hat pull trick. It's a sign of disrespect. I remember pruitt era a linebacker from Georgia (Jamie Pettway) put on a Tennessee hat and then ripped it off and threw it across his hs gym. He was pissed because he wanted to be a Vol and he wasn't a take for us. He was mad and had to settle for Missouri. Ended up not being sec caliber and finished his career at USF and never got a shot at the NFL.

I'd say this kid probably took offense to Tennessee offering him a significantly smaller NIL amount than Kensucky - so hey, why not burn bridges.

Yall that was a pretty weak trick. Not like he threw it or stomped it in the ground. Dude will be a Vol on signing day if we really want him.

PTSD to when we lost Keaton and Destin Wade to Kentucky. TWO top 10-15 players in state going to UK. They were so productive in college, gosh what could have been had that come to Tennessee. Kentucky just has a history of stealing future stars from Tennessee. We gotta build a wall!

Maybe there's more, but the only player I can remember that stung and he turned out to be pretty good was Randall Cobb

Tre'vonn Rybka hurt some, he was a multi year starter and was drafted. Not saying he would have been a star here but definitely would have played a lot but that's about it.

Sorry in the era of the portal instate losses are no longer brutal at all. It doesn’t matter if we don’t get any of the top instate guys.

I thought David George was an instate guy.

AP said he filmed commitment vids with both Miles and Jarrell.

That recruiting fluid is some sticky stuff.

“It doesn’t matter if we don’t get any of the top instate guys.”

What a stupid statement.

Pretty obvious the staff wasn’t going to give them a huge offer to come here

We all just learned about it 2 days ago but I have no doubt he saw it coming from a mile away.

I think it’s a good strategy for May, but toward end of cycle it may have to shift. You will have a better idea at that time of how many roster spots you need to fill.

For this early, though, I think the staff is smart to sit back and play the long game a bit.
