Then why have TN hat on the table and throw out in recent radio interviews that they were still in the mix? Why not have a hat for every school that offered him if he’s gonna surround himself with the symbols of places that were off his list but part of the process? He should have announced a final 2 as soon as that was decided, February 1 or whenever. The whole thing with the UT hat was a shot, probably asked for by Bama, to show other prospects that Vols do not have any kind of fence around the state. Sadly, this does hurt us and will keep on hurting for at least the next three years unless Ty turns out to be a crummy college QBs and CJH starts pulling upset wins right out of the gate and has no screwball upset losses like Pruitt did. 2022 in state recruiting is going to decide whether or not CJH gets a year 4 here. No matter how bad things may be now, people will not tolerate losing in year 3 while watching TN kids win everywhere but UTK.
