'18 TN OL/DL Cade Mays (Transfer)

[BruinVol]

Based on what? Spider sense?

Opinion. I just think once you get a bad taste in your mouth for something you loved you move on and don't look back. Being close to Knoxville is a bad thing in this case. Also price is backing up that thinking very clearly imo

I agree, think you almost get mad at the place you love for making you turn on it and try so hard to continue with that decision because you don't want to believe you turned your back on that place wrongly.

Hard to get someone to
Come back from that.

Barnett yes... Haynesworth stomped a guys head....

And got a $100 million

Ron someone I know that claims to be a Clemson insider said the same thing. He is a silent to Clemson. He wanted to take visits but Dabo has a rule against visits if you’re publicly committed; therefore, he’s a silent commit. Don’t know if it’s true but I hope not. The guy is a major Clemson homer but who knows.

This will make his tears taste sweeter if Cade comes back to UT.

This one is over IMO and was too far gone with CJP was hired. Not fair to put any judgment on him for this one.

Agree can't judge him if he doesn't reel him in with such little time. However if someone can it's Pruitt and fulmer. Pruitt is really the perfect style HC for Cade Mays. Pruitt wants mean, agressive and punishing style mentality. I got a feeling they will click.

As for those trying to compare Trey coming and Cade maybe not... it's not really fair because trey had no clue we would be this bad this year. We were coming off a 9 win season back to back. We can't say that he wouldn't have chose another school or strongly considered it in cades situation.

Wouldn't this render Dabo's policy ineffective?

Does Mays not have friends in the TN recruiting pool or on the team? If so, are they tweeting and/or talking to him about coming back into the fold?

I think I've read some on the team aren't real happy with him. I know trey Smith put something on Twitter when he decommited.

Reading Scott Frosts story, you see Crootin has consequences and hard feelings

 

[goinuponatuesday]

He pissed a lot of our players off, and he will not be coming here.

JG may disagree lol

 

[rockytop25]

I'm pretty sure Trey retweeted one of Cade's tweets a couple weeks ago, it could've been before he decommited though

 

[buffaloblue]

I want Cade to be in Orange he would help us.

CJP told us to not worry about the ones we don’t get worry about the ones we do.

If he chooses to go elsewhere I will move on and worry about the guys we get.

 

[goinuponatuesday]

JG may disagree lol

Probably

Tough position for this kid to be in. I think his best choice is UT. Playing time and not being hated in your home town.

 

[volfaninpa]

He's got friends on UT's team as well as ones going to UT no doubt from his high school.

He's got a couple of friends and potential teammates on Clemson's team.

I have no idea about Georgia.

Clemson and Georgia are closer to championships than UT is currently. Cade and his parents have to decide if they believe that Pruitt can get them to championship level and further develop Cade as a player. Let's be honest if Cade's as good as projected, he may have the chance to leave after 3 years. After this season and the fan reaction, he may not want the pressure of being under the microscope at the school his daddy played at.

JMO

I almost hate to be that guy (honestly, I really don't), but someone with a Masters degree in English should know it is "an" MA.

Lol. Touché.

I blame lack of sleep.

And *Master’s

 

[LouderVol]

The good part is we have a staff of some of the best recruiters in the nation. If it’s a half point shot just imagine it’s Steph Curry or James Harden taking that shot. Still a hard shot but all the tools to make it. Let’s hope the shot is nothing but net.

He and Salyer have talked about playing together since sophomore camps, So at least they are friends. Fields is recruiting him hard.

Who is he close to at UT?

VQ has said that he's been on hunting trips with Riley Locklear.

They've also said that he's hunted with Tanner Antonutti.

I'd also imagine some other classmates from Knoxville Catholic will attend UT or at least stay in the area.

Cade has been inundated with negative recruiting . He is a 18 year old and is probably just a big a fan of UT as anyone on here. I have faith Pruitt will do his best to get him back in the fold. If he doesn't I am sure Coach will find another OT.

He has also been close enough to see the negativity in the fan base ... EmptyNeyland, boos directed towards the players and the bad side of this fan base.

He is probably also smart enough to know that if expectations are met starting next year - it will all start again.

Maybe he wants to go to a school where the atmosphere does not turn toxic at the first sign of failure.

 

[volfan102455]

People surely realize rival fans get on twitter and stir trouble? Who truly knows what fan is “tweeting” .

You can look at a persons other tweets, who they follow, who is following them and tell if the person is a troll or a fan.

Give me a break.

I think he's on an OV to ND this weekend and UGA next weekend.

And then signing on the 20th? If that is the case then I highly doubt he signs here.
