'20 TN DE Jay Hardy (Auburn commit)

[TrippieRedd]

Says he is shutting his recruitment down now and 110% committed to Auburn

Obviously.. his parents just got new cars.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Can he? I mean, our defensive line spent the first 4 games not knowing where to line up.

They have had those problems for about 10 years. Good seeing they can now do it.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Its the Family not the kid. From the beginning, Hardy's father was saying Jay would not sign until February and take all his OVs. For a legacy Vol Fan to say this was a big red flag to me. Hopefully, the Family is getting the Auburn $$$ upfront and Jay can switch and sign with UT in the end.

Don't want him

 

[chargervol]

On AV. It's ironic the VN motto is "pics or it didn't happen" and OB (and Ashlee ) literally just posted pics this week. Humans gonna human, I guess.

this staff did everything it was supposed to do to land the kid, including allowing him to silently commit and hold his spot. he's visited TN almost 10 times this year. the team on the field is showing signs of life, especially on the defensive side of the ball. they showed out against USCe, the development of the kids on the DL is pretty freaking apparent.

everything Tennessee was supposed to do to sign kids like Hardy and Baron they freaking did it....'member how important it was for all these in state kids to be part of something special? how tight they all were supposed to be? hard, baron, KL, Mays etc.....they family has been up mulitple times, his brother played here and came on a visit with him agasint USCe.....

he makes one trip to Auburn and he's "all in"? B freaking S.


blame who you want.....most of you will be wrong.

Jake if we were outbid we didn’t do everything we could. Yes I said it. With our resources we shouldn’t be lowballing these kids. Sorry for anybody who didn’t know

 

[maxvolfan]

Really not that surprised once we found out that the lead recruiter was Rodney Gardner. Rocker and Sherrer should have pushed to the end and not rely on just Hardy visiting every weekend.

 

[Cactus Jack]

All of this "auburn puts d linemen in the league" is just BS to me. Pretty sure Kyle Phillips, Shy Tuttle, and Derek Barnett are all significant contributors on NFL rosters right now. Very lazy argument to say this is about player development and the NFL.

 

[chattavol420]

I don’t follow recruiting closely but I’m shocked by this one. Our team is trending upward and they’re trending he opposite direction in what year 7 or so under malzohn. He’s been on our campus multiple times and really seen this team grow up and come together. Man sometimes it really is hard to not dislike these kids. Lol. We absolutely sold out to get him. What the hell?

 

[mrorange211]

The blame goes to one person: Jay Hardy. Lying scumbag.

 

[headhunter15]

Need to get Neid’s on him now and up the offer.

It's not just about a bag. Its about getting creative with roundabout ways. Ie: buying a "car wash" business that isnt worth the paper it's written on for six figures. Getting certain family members set up with kush jobs, etc.

 

[WilliamDuVOL]

I hope UGA and Bama kill Auburn and they lose their bowl and Malzahn gets fired, and then we win out and both end up at 8-5. How fitting would that be?

Dude he’s a kid calm tfd

 

[RyanWalkerPGH]

Probably gonna have a South Carolina like recruiting class. I'm sick to my stomach.

Check is cashed..

 

[JohnD13]

Once he commit I'll give more details. Like I said before once he sign I'll reveal who I am. Just be patient. Trust me.

Word just as good as his. Awesome.

And the Barn organizes all that in 4 or 5 days? Nah. Their figure beat ours. I’ve been around college athletics a little bit, not SEC or even close, but it pretty much comes down to that

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Lol @ CoachK! Everyone has been so excited to land him and talking about how big of a need he is. Then he blindsides us and he trashes us for being upset and saying that we were saying bad things and Jay reads the boards. Get out of here with that. This board has been excited to get Jay for a long time and he goes to Auburn once and decides on them. We know what happened.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Yeah for the Browns this year.[/QUOTE

Gotcha thanks

They might have thought up a creative benefit. idk what it was but it may have been better than we could give or we didnt have the chance to counter it. idk.

Dude Cash Money, no checks accepted

 

[Kingston Vol]

Atlanta Vol is legit - obviously - and should be treated as such.

But #1: when you’re that close to the situation you can get tunnel vision and #2: people lie and things change.

Hardy is a 17 year old kid. It can be hard to do anything other than tell all these coaches and boosters exactly what they want to hear at that age.

 

[mrorange211]

No. If the law recognizes an 18 yr as an adult, so can I. The kids is responsible for his choices. The choice that he made is low character and despicable. Like I said: Kid is a scumbag.

and now I'm sick, thanks
