their insiders are 100% confident he will be a Vol.....there is no doubt in their minds......some of it might be that they believe he has already informed the Vol staff he is coming.....and some of itOriginally posted by lordsoflolo:

Are we going to stand by and let TENNESSEE boast like that!!!!! Are our in state players going to let TENNESSEE make that type of statement????? Stand up and be heard! RU JERSEY PRIDE!!!! (Just don't tell anyone I moved away years ago!)
100% agree, add in all the flips here and at basically every school, I really dont care where anyone verbals, I will pay attention on LOI dayOriginally posted by Dr. Potato:
Don't care. Not following 17 year old kids daily whims. It's asinine.
The whole process is ridiculous at this point.
You are pretty spot on from everything I've read on the Tennessee boards. Our mods are generally not "homers" and they won't come out and say "It's Tennessee", but the indication they're giving is that OSU mods don't feel confident in him landing there, and it comes down to UT and Rutgers. They feel the fact that he has been staying in touch with Coach DeBord this week is a "good sign". Certainly not 100%, but we'll see. As for the Kendall/Guarantano situation, there's a little more to that. Our previous OC Mike Bajakian (ironically a BC Alum) preferred Kendall over Guarantano and while they still recruited JG to some extent, Kendall wanted to be the only QB UT brought in this year and that was agreed upon. Kendall's brother is a walk on receiver at Kentucky and he visited there a few times and was talking about visiting Auburn and a couple of other schools, while not wanting UT to bring in another QB. Bajakian leaves for an NFL job and UT brings in DeBord as OC, and he prefers JG over Kendall. UT and Kendall come to a mutual parting of the ways and JG immediately schedules a visit to UT. That and Butch's long standing relationship with the family leaves a lot of us believing it's going to be UT, not to mention the fact that he is a perfect fit for our offense. My guess is that if he were going to commit to RU, he would've done it earlier, as QB's tend to commit earlier than other positions because there are only so many positions available and if you want to be an anchor for the class, you can't be committing too late in the year. I'm sure it's happened, but I can't remember the last time I saw a big time QB commit in January or February. Good luck to you guys either way.Originally posted by wheezer:

is the supreme confidence that no one can out recruit Butch .......they are not even worried about
Urban, and Flood is never going to be in the same solar system as Butch
I tell you, if it somehow winds up being RU, I cannot wait to see the reaction over there......
but in the end, I predict Tenn,
because I think he decided even before he visited there, and his most recent visit there locked it....the telling factor is the decommit of the other qb and then the quick JG visit.....I think JG expressed interest and said he would come, and then Butch quickly got rid of their other 2016
verbal....
This sure makes it look like we were never really a serious option. Like he's given Rutgers the local courtesy. So be it.Originally posted by Musteng:

Yeah agree with this. As I said, if he picks TN, it seems to me that he wanted anything but Rutgers. If that's the case peace out. Can't wait for this kids drama to end lol. Still, think TN is random, but we will soon see.Originally posted by bryanjints:
