'20 TN DE Jay Hardy (Auburn commit)

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Meh! Coaches and develops top notch. Keep and hire Lupoi.

Yeah I'd keep Rocker. Dude can flat coach and develop players. We need that. But I'd fire Sherrer for sure and replace him with Lupoi.

How good does Auburn pay you ask? First round lock Derrick Brown, who literally just had a newborn baby, decided to return to school for his senior year to play with a true freshman QB. Put the pieces together folks.

 

[benholt06]

they are not paying a 4 star kid 25K...are you insane?

Just saying the difference

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

It's not over!!!

I don't know who you are and I don't mean any disrespect, but what the crap happened here? Why did the family lie to our staff?

 

[Jackcrevol]

so you don't know what happened or how, but are gonna make judgment on it?

k.

does it matter? end result is same. negative recruiting or losing whatever it is. on coach.

time to sack it up and move on. beat Kentucky. start a new narrative.

Like I said, I've seen this story play out before with Auburn involved.

 

[Volsdeep4]

Man that stung.

Whats the bid up to right now ?

 

[ngavolgirl]

It's not over!!!

So when he said he is completely shutting the recruitment down he isn't really shutting it down?

 

[Aesius]

Boom! 4-star DE commits to Auburn over Vols

Lol nice neutral, objective headline there.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Not lie to friends and fellow recruits about it and make them feel betrayed. Not string the other coaches along, then publicly blindside them. Talk to the school that I'd led to believe was getting my commitment and see if there was another solution. That's what I'd want my kid to do. There's no good reason to do it any other way.

I have 3 children. I would never allow them to do what Hardy just did to Vol fans. If he wanted to go to AU then fine. But there's no way that I would sit there with my children and lie and let them lie like that. Pitiful tbh.

 

[chavisut]

Calm down, it is 1 player.....

He was supposed to be a remedy for losing BJO, despite not playing same position. Now we’re out an elite rush LB and DL we thought we had. It can be fixed but IMO this is a huge blow.

 

[mrorange211]

I wouldn't take his commitment right now. Dead serious. We need to completely move on for this scumbag.

 

[lilesrt]

Hope we can get back in with the Toll kid.

Is Toll the same build as Hardy? I thought they projected at different positions.

lazy take. nothing you've said changes it.

 

[mrmax86]

It's not over!!!

Shut up.

 

[Jackcrevol]

I lose all respect for a kid and family from TN who repeatedly lie to TN coaches, players, and commits for months.

This is also true Cos.

 

[RikidyBones]

So when he said he is completely shutting the recruitment down he isn't really shutting it down?

That would be another lie. Hm.. No thanks.

 

[benholt06]

Not sold my integrity for 30 pieces of silver.

Easy to say that til the money in your face. Get off your high horse man

 

[SweetasSoda]

It's not over!!!

Would like to believe that.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

Not really. It was Gilbert who we led for until we lost the first two games. Then it was Ojulari, now Hardy, and do you really believe Baron is going to sign here? I hope we can convince Big O to sign here but with Jay going elsewhere the confidence there isn't strong either. Hope we can close strong but to act like everything is fine is just naive.

Not really....AV said to write Gilbert off. People assumed Gilbert would come here because Bailey is committed.
We were always 2nd choice for Ojulari. Ojulari was all UGA, then LSU, then chose UT just because. First chance he got, he jumped ship. I still think he is waiting on a UGA green light.
Hardy is the only surprise really. Everyone expected him to choose UT. Maybe he chose Auburn so that he could go to the UGA and Bama games. If he is committed to UT, no way they are letting him attend those games as a recruit.
At the end of the day, there are a lot of players out there to get.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

very obvious he and family were bought at the cabin

 

[chargervol]

It's not over!!!

But 15 out of the 7 million Vol fans made comments on a message board!!
Isn't he basically forced to hate TN now?????

Man that's another one we lost to them. Imagine how much better we'd be with him right now. He could have single handedly won us the first game of the season.
