'10 CA QB Jesse Scroggins (USC Solid Verbal)

[g8terh8ter_eric]

Exactly.

But I am interested in whoever they're mentioning as a surprise. They don't hint about small surprises. They're always big ones.

Any leads, Eric?

I honestly don't know, but I told the guy that Cregg was probably feeding him to keep the fanbase going. Coaches do it all the time, because they know that interest is what keeps the program going.

This is just like in "Polar Express". If you believe, then the bell still rings for you! Scroggins is ALL VOL!!!:thumbsup:

If he was going to UT we would maybe know by now. But the look and feel of everything would be completely different. Everything points towards USC its just gonna happen.

hahahaha, No.

TOS poster saw Monte and Cregg at restaurant, asked about Scroggins, coaches said "it's a long shot, but we've got a surprise." Take it with a grain of salt.

Actually, he was talking about Jesse being a long shot, and that someone else was a big surprise.

If that is true, it may or may not mean Scroggins.It may mean they have someone else.

Well, are you not going to play along?

 

[g8terh8ter_eric]

hahahaha, No.

Sure we would, it happened over and over again before NSD last year and it happened with Bryce. Like I said, these coaches want to keep the fanbase going, and they haven't as much even given us a small morsel with Jesse. Kinda telling, IMO.

 

[volzfan1998]

I wish Jesse was the surprise.

Right, that's what I meant. Don't you hate when you type/text something and it's read wrong? I can't tell you how many times that's got me in trouble..

 

[g8terh8ter_eric]

Well, are you not going to play along?

Not really.

I am probably reading too much into this, but anyone else find it ominous that the Pac-10 blog writer posted that Scroggins will announce his decision today. Link: Scroggins will announce commitment today - Pac-10 - ESPN

He does say that he will be choosing between USC, UT and UF, but I just found it interesting that it was only posted on the Pac-10 blog. Especially since ESPN apparently knows where he is going since they recorded his commitment.

 

[423VOL]

If it's really important to Jesse that it be kept on the hush til he announces, then the coaches would respect that, especially considering how important his commitment would be.

 

[utmba93]

Not really.

Maybe you'll feel better next week.

Today just sux.


When you do feel like it though, Stone, Fulton, and Milton would all help with my recovery.

Guys breaking news. I sent him 37 facebook emails and 95 myspace emails with videos and powerpoints showing why to go to UT. So since I'm just as good as a coach I have sealed the deal he is a vol. He loves emails from 25-60 year old men. He told me so over emails. Just wanted to let everyone know I personnally recruited JS to UT via emails

Does not look good.:no:

 

[ptclaus98]

I'm guessing the surprise is Brunetti.

If he comes I will give you some credit.

I think that they have their "surprise" lined up already. Don't know who it is. But, I got a feeling we'll start hearing rumors or a commitment as early as...4:00 today.

I'm still pulling for Jesse, but if the coaches truly do have a "surprise" i'm sure it will be a pleasant one.

Paul Jones, Philip Sims, Blake Sims, Andrew Hendrix, Tommy Rees, Chase Rettig, Barry Brunetti, Brent Nottingham are all possible QB's who could uncommit.

We've made Jeffrey Godfrey's list as well. Don't forget LaMaison coming in, possible Cameron Newton, and some other prospects. Plus, you never know who is going to come out during the season.

It's going to be alright.

 

[g8terh8ter_eric]

I'm guessing the surprise is Brunetti.

I don't think so, not this early. It's going to take our staff some time to coddle him for us to get back in it.

 

[Oldblood]

Thanks guys. I've put a lot of time into reading all of his posts and info and junk. I HOPE that I'm right when I say that he's a Vol tomorrow....it's looking like I'm wrong, but I've got faith and hope and all that stuff.

I hope you're gut feel is right, and I really appreciate the summary - better than wading through 10,000 posts.

 

[utmba93]

I'm guessing the surprise is Brunetti.

A QB would be nice... but I don't want to get my hopes up too much.

If only Heaps could find a new religion or realize it's okay to be Mormon in Knoxville. We're fine with any QB who plays well. Football is our religion.

 

[vol4eva]

The surprise is probably Milton.

 

[g8terh8ter_eric]

The surprise is probably Milton.

Actually, Cregg was referring to a QB in the context it was said.

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

My optomistic (and semi-crazy) theory on JS:

CLK, being the genius he is, has a silent commit from JS, and tells him to announce today. why? It is in the middle of SEC media days and will generate the most publicity!

What do you think?

There's Eric's aspirational surprise in bold. He just won't admit it. Ask Sab, if you don't believe me. j/k...

I think I'll just check back in around 3.
