'27 TN WR Kesean Bowman (Oregon commit)

[BigorangeBoy]

Swords wasn't really a miss. Neither was Richard Land. Tennessee didn't pursue either.

I know this first hand because a couple of the BA assistant coaches at the time were family friends. They had a great relationship with UT coaches and were honest about both to the staff. One of them told me about Land, "he's liable to pancake his man on 1st and 2nd down, then sack his own QB on 3rd down."

Both were just very overrated. Swords' dad had some connection with The Tennessean and got them to really hype him up. Obviously, neither did anything at Alabama and Texas, respectively, which justified the notion that they were overrated…as well as Tennessee’s indifference towards both as recruits.

Gaulden didnt go to BA. Went to Independence.

Gaulden didn’t graduate from Brentwood Academy. He transferred over to Independence to play with Vic
