'20 TN DE Jay Hardy (Auburn commit)

yeah, price was on swain yesterday and he didn't exactly give me the warm fuzzies. that he's continued to put off his committment, that there's just an assumption that he's going to TN, either because of his dad or whatever, kinda annoys Baron, and he wants to have control over the decision, and it be known that wherever he goes, it's because HE wants to go there.

so i could see him taking long looks elsewhere.....and it's worrisome.


only with TN in state prospects will they NOT go to TN just for spite.

Patrick Abernathy is probably sweating lol

This sucks.

Maybe he'll rethink his decision. Not likely, but you never shut the door on good talent. Said previously I was worried about Auburn sweeping in at the end with a bag of cash.

What worries me is how this reflects on overall recruiting and the image it projects to other kids. When an in-state kids spurns us, what do those other kids (not in-state) think?
well, he's been on campus as recently as a week and a half ago, and was supposedly telling recruits, prospects, players and coaches he was still in at TN.

so i would imagine most anyone intimately involved w/out recruiting...prospects, commits alike....probably have a good idea of what to think about what happened. and are probably wondering how do they get invited to the cabin..........lol.

Grimes wants in, he is the highest rated TN prospect, but most of the board doesn't want him. Do we just pick and choose who we want? Do we want ALL TN kids or just some of the TN kids?

I've seen Baron at every home game sitting with Cade, Lawerence, and Bailey. I never saw this kid with him. Baron would be the one that shocked me if this happens. This one not so much for that very reason.
what? Hardy has been tight with the commits for a while. He has been telling them hes joining them for months and months.
 
He basically admitted in 247 interview that he was silently committed to TN. Committed to Auburn in visit and never told our coaches until his decision went public.

That is a good way to burn a bridge that he may wish he still had after auburn loses to uga and bama and the fans are burning Gus at the stake again.
He wants to flip? We’ll take him. To Pruitt this is old hat. I’m his experience, he’s usually been the beneficiary.
 
If he was he wouldn’t be currently committed to Auburn. We have to stop thinkin “silent” means anything. You know who’s in the boat EARLY. Lawerence. Whiteheaven 3. Notice the difference between those recruitments

He picked his date after his OV to TN, where he reaffirmed his commitment, this was before the AU visit. He also told at least three current UT commits on Monday night that he was still committed to TN.

What? The commit video was made. You obviously haven't read any of the posts today....
 
I hoped Hardy would be a vol, spent two weeks working on Auburns football stadium. I think it would easily fit inside Neyland. As for the surrounding community, don't understand how anybody would live there.

I get the guys who are just saying move on and let it go. But we need elite players. Hardy is elite. He isn't signing until February. Maybe Gus loses out and gets canned and we flip him.
I don’t see him getting canned this year unfortunately. We need instant impact on the DL for sure.

we want the best players we can get, no matter where they're from.

i'm not sure if Grimes wants in or not, and i definitley don't know that if we all the sudden turn up the heat, that it won't be pretty transparent as to why.

he likes USCe. USCe has been recruiting him the hardest by all accounts. i think they only program he'd pick that would "all the sudden" turn the heat up, would be Bama.

i could see it being for TN a "too late to the party" type of thing.
