'26 TN OT Kamari Blair

[therickbol]

Blair woke up thinking he was committing to TN then it changed later in the day

That is a good sign long term.

From Wiltfong Whiparound pod:
TN will continue to go after Blair. The morning of his commitment he thought he would be committing to TN before committing to SC later that day.

Can this be confirmed that this is the staff position? A priority or just keeping our ear to the ground?

I think you just heard confirmation that it's the staff position.

That just goes to show that all our current recruits are not guaranteed to play for UT. It’s all a crapshoot until pen to paper

On a potential flip:

I think it’s doable. Imo the kid wants to be here. TN will play the long game here.

The audio on this is terrible but watch this and try to convince me he’s excited about being committed to South Carolina.

He also has nothing in his social media bios about being a South Carolina commit and never posted an official commitment graphic.

If we keep swinging I bet he ends up in orange come December.

I think as we get closer to the reality of playing in Columbia, SC for Shane Beamer, the kid has a change of heart. Still see him at Tennessee when all is said and done. He’s instate and we won’t stop pursuing. He was on the fence when he signed with Carolina.

yeh that kid will be a Vol lol

I don't think the kid's heart needs to change, if you know what I mean. From my understanding, he wants to play at UT.

Money will get tighter imo. I think he will also be shown there are more financial opportunities in Tennessee and the perks of being a VFL are better for his family.

If his heart was really with Tennessee, then why commit to SC at the last minute?

Is the extra NIL money really worth it if you’re truly not happy with your decision?

Kind of a weird recruitment.

Last second money. Sounds like Brame’s recruitment last year. Thought to be a Vol lock…committed to Oregon…realized a little more money wasn’t going to make him happy…flipped to the Vols, where he should have been all along.

If the kid does end up at South Carolina I hope he finds happiness. That felt hard to watch.

“What specifically stood out to you about South Carolina and what they had to offer?”

Really deep sigh

I mean the kid could just be exhausted and sick of questions but he didn’t seem excited at all.

I’m wondering if the staff like his versatility to potentially move inside. Flipping this guy and letting SC overpay Gray would be totally fine with me.
