The kid admitted to having some family problems, so I'm pretty sure he is staying with his girlfriend. He could have gone plenty of other places to improve his grades.

He may have family problems, but he changed schools to try and qualify for school.

New Rivals article up.

"The Tennessee unofficial was great. I met the legend, Monte Kiffin. H's real cool and he has got a lot of energy. I couldn't believe I was talking with him. He won a Super Bowl. I also met coach (Eddie) Gran. He has four first-rounders in the NFL and 10 overall. He knows what it takes to get to the NFL. I like coach (Jim) Chaney and he knows what he's talking about in running an offense. Coach (Lane) Kiffin was so cool. He's young, funny and energetic. I really liked them a lot. I know most don't like him now but he's a cool coach."

He also talked about unofficials to Clemson and South Carolina but was short and not nearly as gushing as he was when talking about Tennessee. He says the pressure to stay in state is strong, but he is going to do what is best for him. Also talks about wanting to play in a pro-style offense and one that will prepare him for the NFL. He's already planning on it being a Signing Day decision.

Price has a new article up.

"Man it went good," Lattimore said.....After a brief tour of what he called the best facilities he's seen thus far, Lattimore took in the Tennessee basketball game with running backs coach Eddie Gran....."Coach Gran told me about how the offense works and how the NFL likes to see a pro-style offense in college. [Gran] was stressing family and I know he'll be a good coach because he's a good person. He has had four first rounders and he has nine backs in the NFL right now. He is a good coach and his resume speaks for itself."

He goes on to say that seeing Neyland Stadium was the highlight of his visit, he was impressed by Monte Kiffin's energy despite his age, and that he hopes to cut his list to 5 schools before summer. He says the Vols will "most likely" be on that list. He will play in the Army All-American Game next January.

Also I found this quote interesting:

"We talked about the offense and he told me it was the perfect place for me with the skills I have," Lattimore said. "He told me that he'd take care of me and that I wouldn't have to worry about him leaving because he loves it up there and it was great to talk to him.

"I walked out on the field and I was just picturing over 100,000 people in there," Lattimore said. "It was amazing. I could see myself playing there."

If we make his top 5 and get an unofficial ...I have a good feeling of him. He has good vision hitting the hole. Also he has very good hands in the backfield

All right guys, when's the last time we hear this? BB said it on VSPN, and I didn't really buy into this kind of hypothetical answers. BUT, if BB does come to UT, I will take words like this more seriously

(Chaotic logic, isn't it?) :D

the new Scout article actually sounded even more positive than the new Rivals article---

"Coach Gran showed me some film on what coach Kiffin ran at USC. He showed me how they would be blocking. They are only going to recruit mobile linemen to get to the next level. I really liked the offense. We watched the highlight tape."

"We went into the stadium, and it holds over 100,000 people. It would be crazy playing in there."

"Someone came up to me in Zaxby’s and wished I had a good trip up there. It was crazy. I could probably see myself going back up there."

He liked the campus, the area, the athletic facilities, and the staff. He said CLK answered all his mother's questions at the end of the trip and he said Lane was fun to be around.

It would be great to add another 5 star, but BB signing probably didn't help. I will take BB over Lattimore any day. Lattimore seems to lack the top end speed from the video I've watched
