Wasn't the interest in Adams heavily influenced by trying to get Menzie?

I think so. I think we were still going to take him with our need at TE. Heck, we'd probably still take him but I wouldn't lose any sleep if we passed especially after the kid went all wishy-washy on his commitment.

Before the departure of Wilson to LSU, it looked like Adams was set to sign with Tennessee on Dec. 16 - the first day junior college prospects could sign with a Division I school.

However, that day came and went without a signature from Adams, who ultimately balked at the opportunity to play tight end in Knoxville for the chance to play defensive end elsewhere.

"I really was (done) and they asked me if I wanted to play tight end and I really thought I would," said Adams, who played tight end as a freshman at Copiah-Lincoln. "But I decided I didn't want to play it anymore because I played defensive end the whole (2009) year and I started to like it better than tight end. I just feel more comfortable on defense and able to make big plays, running to the ball. That's where I feel more comfortable.

I think it will be interesting to see if AUB actually has a spot for him with Cam Newton supposedly enrolling early. Hope he doesn't hang himself out to dry.

I'm actually kind of happy he is taking this stance. i understand we need someone at TE but I just don't see the potential in this kid that warrants him getting a scholarship. With the package deal of Menzie and filling a need, it was worth the risk but now, I don't care if we don't sign him.

I admire him and Willis both stating that they actually have xyz issue. Be upfront and the fan bases can respect it. The smoke and mirrors can turn fans the wrong direction (not that the fans are always right).

He no longer considers himself committed to Tennessee.

"I haven't talked to anyone from Tennessee in a while," Adams said Monday. "I don't know what's going on there. I've only talked to coaches from Auburn, North Carolina and LSU."

I think they have better use of a scholly than him. Our staff acts with purpose. Very calculating and recruiting I think they don't let things slip through the cracks. If they are not contacting him, its for a reason.

You think this means they feel good about another TE or they were just trying to get Menzie? or both...

I think it simply means they dont consider Adams a big loss and they aren't going to put forth extra time and effort to keep him. He had his chance and he backed out of it. He was a depth-filler for a couple of years, nothing more.

it means they only want him at TE, Wilson was his biggest supporter, and he says he wants to play DE..we have bigger fish in the pond and on the hook there

Lol--we dropped this guy. Adams said himself Tennessee had not called him in awhile. We did not want him.

Yawn. The guy doesn't even deserve his own decommit thread. Merge this joker in with the other Ken Adams thread. I wish the kid the best but this is no big loss, the staff hasn't talked to him in weeks.
