If Bray does commit this week, do you foresee it triggering any other players to jump on board soon after, or do you think it'll be more of a delayed incentive in recruiting?

I don't think many people will commit suddenly after Bray does. If we didn't have any WR's committed then probably yes, but it seems the coaching staff has gotten most of who they have wanted and now comes the selected pickings of the final prospects to finish the class...

I agree. It shows how amazing our staff is that we got guys like Milton, Ambles, Teague, and Nuke without a QB commited. Just think about what kind of attention we would get if Bray lights it up this season (if we get him).

Also, what kind of careers do his parents have that they can just pick up and move to their son's college of choice? I know his aren't the only ones, but I don't know a lot of people with that kind of job flexibility.

I'm glad he liked the atmosphere. I for one thought that the crowd was a little flat. We were missing some 8-10,000 fans.

Not even close. We were just under 100k, the seating capacity has been reduced through renovations, and WKU basically sold none of their allotment. I was impressed by the turnout personally.

Has anyone confirmed that the parents stayed? And could it have anything to do with real estate or job interviews?

This is not beyond belief for those living in California. The taxes and inflation out there is making life difficult for a lot of people.

The dad could be a online guy. Working from home or what not. Also a rather large house in Cali will buy you a mansion out here for the same price.

I live in the SoCal area, for job reasons, but California IS without a doubt always finding new ways to dig into your pocket book/wallet. Everything is more expensive. They try to classify a small pickup as a "Commercial" vehicle so you'll have to pay to get it weighed and then charge you more money (over $200 just to get California tags for my small Nissan PU). This is the most money grubbing state there is and yet they are broke.
I was in the Army for 6yrs and when stationed at Ft. Bragg, I got to frequent Myrtle Beach (SC) often and went to Daytona a few times. Then lived in the Houston TX area (20 minutes away from Galveston/the beach), and I personally think the whole "Beach" thing is very overrated and doesn't appeal to everybody. Especially after hearing of all the shark attacks, squids (just read something in the news recently of thousands of giant squids messing with surfers in the San Diego area), etc.

Don't have to worry about any of that out on the lakes in TN...and east TN is beautiful country...nothing quite like it in SoCal...so please, stop undermining the value of living in the Knoxville area. If you've grown up in CA all your life, sometimes the uniqueness of East TN (2hrs from Atlanta...3 to Nashville or Charlotte NC....not far from the beaches of NC and SC) can be quite appealing to some. So for those that comment that California guys have no interest in E. Tenn when they have the Beaches of Southern California in their backyard...just because you think more highly of that than the plush hills of the Smokey Mtns, doesn't mean everyone else feels the same as you.

That's actually a fact, especially when you factor in property taxes.
Maybe his parents will love the idea of getting a Property with plenty of space, in a quaint little community...with some distance between them and the next property. That's rare in SoCal

Correct me if I am wrong, but if Bray left today and his parents are staying until Tuesday doesn't that pretty much mean he is a vol lock? Why else would they stay unless it is to do some sort of business such as looking for a house or something.

He is a Vol lock. Alot of signs point to him already being a Vol...

Where did the info about his parents sticking around come from? I've not seen it verified anywhere other than here. A link would be sweet because if they are indeed here, he will indeed be here. Just call me Captain Deduction! :superman:

Keep in mind the Brays are from Kingsburg, a town of under 12K about 30 mins. SE of Fresno. It's a farming community and closer to the mountains than the beaches. The area probably has far more in common with E. TN than S.D., which could be a huge point in our favor with the family.

Being able to continue enjoying a comfortable lifestyle while paying less in taxes would certainly be a plus from my perspective.

I just asked Brent Hubbs if the parents stayed in Knoxville. He said he doesn't know and hasn't heard that rumor...

That puts the rumor to rest. If it were true, he would know about it...

The Bray family is in Tenn. until tuesday defintitely. Tyler left early to get back to practice on monday since he missed his scrimmage.

Uh Oh...Hubbs missed something with the all seeing eye. Could be when he started charging people money to go on a board that had no inside information...could be when the mods deleted good stuff and left up flame wars from lulz cats.
