Here is a short piece on Dunk from Orlando Sentinel about his UT visit.

Gators soft commit WR Chris Dunkley of Pahokee enjoys Tenessee visit; Alabama next -- OrlandoSentinel.com

Says he still a soft commit to UF and will visit Bama.

Also his Pahokee team had to forfeit 2 games for using an ineligible player which may affect their playoff chances but I believe they will make it in regardless.

He's been considered a florida lean/silent for a long time from some florida insiders. Really doesn't matter though until a player signs their LOI. I would expect Dunkley to announce at the UA game.

I think he fits the offense at UF better than ours. He is a slightly, VERY slightly larger WR than Nuke and we have all seen his problems getting on the field for us this year and getting off of press coverage in a Pro-Style offense.

Nuke could have been 6'2, it still wouldnt have changed anything for this seasonD.Moore are just better WRs than him
everyone expected too much from a true freshman, thats all to it.
also UFs offense doesnt thrive on Smallish WRs neither. Thompson, Cooper, Nelson and co are all 6' or taller.

Nuke was not a true WR in HS. He played QB. Dunkley has been a natural WR all his life. He has the same physical tools as Nuke but he is a much more pure WR. Simply put...he is better than Nuke was coming out of HS.

I'd agree with that 100%. Athletically they are similar...Dunkley may be a bit quicker and may have better hips. I've thought all along that the major difference between the 2 is that Nuke is learning the basics of route running and WR play...Dunkley did that at Pahokee.

FWIW, I think Dunkley lands at UF.

Junder bud calm down. If you read my posts I never have "bashed" players. I said the kid looked kind of "thugish". Never said he was a thug. I said he's been accused of stealing, never that he was caught stealing. I personally dont like some of his comments about UT like calling us "lame". He's most likely off to UF soon anyway so you'll dislike him in a few short months too. I made a reference to Coker as a joke. Never said he did a thing like him. Said I'll love him if he's in orange unless he pulls a Coker. I apologize for verbally insulting Dunkley. Im pretty sure he'll hear worse in his life than being called "thugish" which is all I said.

Classy. I apologize. I did jump a bit much last night. My bad braw. You're A-ok in my book, tuck. If you're not UT, you're nothing! (I think a UT commit said that...maybe Jose Jose)

Let's be honest here: his size doesnt fit a prototypically Kiffin pro-style Offense, he is not in my Top 5 of "need" recruits

Bash me if you want...

Dunkley to Florida

TN pulls a WR commit to add to the current group that makes everyone laugh that we were upset about Dunkley.

I think this is like when Bush spent lots of time and money on Pennsylvania. He knew he could not win the state, but he also knew that if he kept Kerry spending tons of time and money there, Kerry could not win Ohio.

Dunkley is one of lots of Florida's players who we keep harassing and courting in part to make Meyer work hard to defend his class. J Smith would laugh if Meyer tried to get him, we are not worried. Whereas Meyer has to keep working hard to defend his instate guys.

I also think this is broadly part of Tennessee's strategy. Not sure if this guy is a definite example, but generally I think we go after a ridiculous amount of rivals' prospects for partly this reasoning. As they said, "No one will outwork us."

I won't be mad about losing Dunkley at all. He likes UF so let him go there. He can see what running into Janzen Jackson over the middle feels like in a couple years...

That is of course, if Janzen is not suspended. :)

We run a tight ship at UT. Our coaches make sure the players pay for their actions...

At some schools, it's pretty sad when a player has to suspend himself (Spikes) cuz the coach and AD don't have the guts to do it themselves...

Yeah but you are still spending time and money on a guy that won't be a Vol so it evens out. You guys have also spend 100x more time on our commitment list than we have spent on yours.
