'20 TN DE Jay Hardy (Auburn commit)

[strkr]

What are they going to do? Rat him out for taking the cash?....not how it works

If they ratted on hardy and family for taking cash - I think aubie would also be ratting on themselves.

Lol....yeah

 

[orange parmejohn]

I think we obviously still have a shot here...but I just don't think this dude will flip. I have a feeling this is just a Rodney Garner choreographed $***show. That dude gets off on messing with us.

No chance a coach convinces a kid to not sign to mess with a rival team.

 

[GetEmVols]

Hopefully Auburn plays horribly and gets smoked in their bowl game and we straight curbstomp Indiana.

I hope Baylor beats Georgia too.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

I hope Baylor beats Georgia too.

me too.
I have zero SEC loyalty. Only to UT. Screw the rest of the SEC schools. Their success doesnt help my team.

Wrong. The fact that the SEC remains the most powerful conference allows them to negotiate bigger contracts with media which in turn provides more revenue dispersed among it's members. More money equals, among other things, better facilities and better salaries to coaching staffs.

More money to all teams has actually made it harder to beat traditional doormats like Kentucky and South Carolina. More money helps the league stand out from other conferences but actually makes it harder to compete within the conference.

I would be okay with LSU winning it,but what I really want is to see Clemson curb stomp Ohio State.

That isn't gonna happen.

Me too. I hate OSU almost as much as ND.

Still don't want other SEC teams to have success

This.. And when they play each other they beat each other to a bloody pulp...... and tie..

Agreed. The climb out of fb poverty by our rivals has done nothing for us. With a decent coach, money was never our problem. It's gonna assist them more than it does TN.

 

[ChiefTKE]

Not saying that he flips or not, but there is no web he could be in that we couldn’t get him out of if he tells us he wants to be here.

The facts don't support your logic. Since when has Tennessee had any trouble beating Kentucky? Tennessee is 33-2 vs Kentucky since 1985. South Carolina has been able to beat us in some of our down years, but they are not a long term threat. The additional revenue being generated from being in the nation's best conference can do nothing but help a program which has been paying buyouts for 11 years running now. In no way does it make it tougher for Tennessee to compete within the conference. That is just absurd.

Tennessee needs Florida and Georgia to step back to move up. I'll always cheer against them. Bama can get the dead penalty for all I care.

You would think..

 

[BowlBrother85]

You would think..

You are overthinking the situation. Coaches want their commitments in the fold as soon as possible. The notion that an assistant would tell a recruit to wait over a month to sign, just to lead on another program is silly. Why can't we just take things at face value, and assume that Hardy is genuinely conflicted about where to sign? There isn't always some ulterior motive at play.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

TBH it’s the relationship with Cooper, Lawrence, and Baron that bring him to Knoxville in the end. That plus our strong finish. If we go out and win the bowl game by double digits it’ll beyond seal the deal imo.

I hope so, I don't care what this dude did, if they can get him, then I want him on the team.

They can fix whatever issues, If there are any issues..later.

I would rather have him than DW...he is at a much more important position to this team imo. Dudes like him that are perfect for 3-4 DE do not grow in trees.

Well...ordinarily I would agree..but Awbarn..

Absolutely agree with you on this...
