Apparently J. Hardy signed with Auburn during the early signing period.
BREAKING: Jay Hardy signed with Auburn in December, Tennessee coach had no clue
If this is our biggest off-season blunder or snafu, I can live with it.
Nothing for UT to do but take it on the chin if the report is true. Any PR attempt to save face would just make us look silly if our coaching staff had the means to know and should have known.
I'm still flabbergasted wondering
1. Why Auburn didn't announce he signed, or at least announce that they had an unannounced player/s sign during the early period?
2. Aside from UT, How did none of the national media, particularly the recruiting services, not catch and report on this?
3. What was J. Hardy really thinking if he actually continued to take visits and proceed as if he were an eligible recruit?
Last but certainly not least, I want to know which of our assistants was directly responsible for his recruitment? I heard rumors last November from alumni friends that knew boosters(yeah yeah, I know what that credibility is worth...) that J. Hardy had been a sure commit to UT and bungling his recruitment might cost his primary recruiter his job after he verbally committed to Auburn.
BTW, I left the names out because hearsay rumors usually aren't worth the paper they're written on.
Agree.. Trust is more than just a name on a bank.So this is what our society has become. Trust is the foundation of a democratic society and we sure as hell have no reason to trust anything that is anyone is saying today. Today, we can not trust anyone in the worls today. Not our politicians, not our friends or enemies, not today's youth;, not anybody. One of the many reasons is most of us have failed as parents, as workers and as citizens of our Country. The only thing we can trust is our constant want and greed. If we have become so disinterested in the values which have allowed this Country to become the leaders of our world.
This is very true...see Cade Mays.Never stop recruiting. In the day and age of the "transfer portal" you might just get someone to transfer on over.....
It is my understanding, the NCAA "requires" the player to notify any school that pursues him to let them know he had already signed. Now, is this infraction something that the NCAA penalizes, I have no idea. Doubt it......So after you sign the loi you can continue to take official / unofficial visits? I was wondering a couple days ago, who pays for these visits? The player? If not how is that not a violation of extra benefits.
Your saying Hardy lying is Tenn.'s blunder? Wow!!
I acknowledged that my statement was contingent on the accuracy of the article....if the report is true....
if our coaching staff had the means to know and should have known.
