TN Commit David Oku

[UT4EVER]

I think we need to worry about Auburn in this deal

From my AU buddy when I mentioned Oku was visiting:

We had been hearing for 2 yrs that he was coming to AU. When Franklin came in, he dropped us. Looks like we are trying to get him back interested.

From my AU buddy when I mentioned Oku was visiting:

I just can't see why Oku would choose Auburn when we have Gran and none of the rest of their current staff was responsible for their running game. Is Drayton leaving hurting as that much with Oku or is his relationship with Trooper just that good?

Yeah I agree. He would be foolish to go to Auburn and ignorant should he choose Syracuse. I hope that he is just enjoying the experience of being recruited, but from what I hear this kid is one sandwich short of a picnic anyway so who knows. If he wants to play in the NFL though his best bet is UT thats for sure.

 

[TRIONZ VOL]

I don't think it would be a bad move if he did go to Auburn. Unless they are going to run the spread and thats what I have heard they will do. Who knows.

Rex, any reason you are worried about him goin there? I mean like one guy said we have Gran who Oku was very impressed with at the camp he went to.

 

[rexvol]

there are rumors that he has cut off communication with the Vol related web sites and that Trooper is his guy. A switch to AU would not surprise me.

 

[TennGentry]

Whatever have fun losing at AU then if thats the case.

Well good riddance then. Talk about a kid with integrity issues.

 

[BeecherVol]

Interesting. Sounds like to me he may not like the fact we are still going after at least 3 other RB's with his commitment. IMO

 

[onevolfan]

It sort of worries me that "he has not responded to several calls and text messages seeking comment", according to the KNS article. I'm not feeling to sure about him right now. Hope I'm wrong though.

 

[rexvol]

Hubbs has touted him from day one as a kid that "tells it like it is" and now Oku has cut off all contact. you know that something is going down.

 

[newVOLworld]

He said he was waiting to see who the next HC would be here and as long as they didn't run the spread he would be a Vol. Does anyone else remember that?

 

[BeecherVol]

If one door closes. another will open.

Exactly. I'm not really worried about this class because the next class is going to be STELLAR.

 

[DWood]

Well good riddance then. Talk about a kid with integrity issues.

LOL! So much for wishing him good luck if he goes elsewhere, huh? Actually you don't even know if he's going elsewhere yet, and have only read some internet rumors and you're already attacking him. Classy. You sound like a "TROLL".

I wish he would just go ahead and tell it like it is, and say where he is going once and for all....gheez!
Can Feb. 4th get here soon enough?

 

[newVOLworld]

i want him but man are these kids wishy washy more these days or what?

 

[rexvol]

Exactly. I'm not really worried about this class because the next class is going to be STELLAR.

Its very early, but the early indications are that Tennessee is trailing other teams with several of the states top prospects.

Justin Maclin is favoring LSU, as is Brown. Jacques Smith is favoring UGA. James Stone is favoring Bama and Notre Dame.

I read this and wanted to vomit

 

[onevolfan]

I guess CLK will have a busy weekend

 

[newVOLworld]

IMO NSD is going to be wild and unpredictable.

 

[g8terh8ter_eric]

Once Kiffin and Co. are able to focus on next year I say those leans change. If not, then oh well. We don't need Fulmer apologists on the team.

I agree. The staff will be on these guys extremely hard after NSD.

 

[grivira]

I thought we lead for Jacques Smith before Fulmer's gone. Jac has said something like Fulmer'd take care of him like his HS coach, and Richt let him to go to UGA locker room but he said he's still a tennessee boy...

Well, I guess that's what Kiffin and his crew members are here for. I am much more confident than ever before that these three kids and most other in-state kids would finally come.

The first thing to do is to get a franchise QB's commit by this summer. Try Jake Heaps, then Phil Simms, and then others, etc.

 

[423VOL]

Like I said, integrity issues.

These are all just rumors, and what's to say that he for sure doesn't sign with us in a week?

If he doesn't, who are we likely to pick up at RB???

 

[GAVol]

Well good riddance then. Talk about a kid with integrity issues.

Don't you think it's a little silly to hear an internet rumor and then call out a 17 year old for having integrity issues?
