One of the nation's top prospects in the 2020 class attended his first game at Tennessee last weekend, and he came away impressed despite the Vols' 47-21 loss to rival Florida.
Five-star Class of 2020 linebacker Antoine Sampah of Woodbridge (Va.) High School said he had a "great" visit to Tennessee on Saturday night for its SEC opener against the Gators, and his first game at Neyland Stadium showed him "the best game-day experience I've ever witnessed."
"The visit was great. I enjoyed my time at Tennessee," said Sampah, who's ranked the No. 21 overall prospect and No. 2 inside linebacker in the industry-generated 247Sports Composite for the 2020 class. "That was the best game-day experience I’ve ever witnessed so far. The fans were very welcoming and showed their loyalty to the program throughout the entire game. "I look forward to coming back soon."
The 6-foot-2.5, 220-pound Sampah already had been to Tennessee once before. He said he stopped there in March, along with a couple of his teammates, "just to go" and take his first look at the Vols.
i think tucker was fine, his dad didn't think the organization of the even was all that great, and made his feelings about it public. he also, later on, stated that he knows the 19 guys probably got the lion's share of the attention, rightfully so. he also decided that airing his feelings on message boards, probably wasn't the best idea for his son's sake.So why did some 2020 recruits have a good time and others like Tucker did not?
at the same time... if a program is showing you love... the classy, gracious thing to say was what he saidi think tucker was fine, his dad didn't think the organization of the even was all that great, and made his feelings about it public. he also, later on, stated that he knows the 19 guys probably got the lion's share of the attention, rightfully so. he also decided that airing his feelings on message boards, probably wasn't the best idea for his son's sake.
i wouldn't think too much about it, really. no one else has come forth the 2nd his assertions, and i would bet that whatever issues there were, will probably be handled by the next time they come over to campus.
