'10 TN DE Jacques Smith

Yeah, I suppose he was an EE after all. I've looked back at some lists and it looks like he was good to go, I think there for a while I had just assumed that we just were spoiled by Jac and that he was going to be a Vol no matter what that I never really cared if he enrolled early or in February. But yeah, if he's an EE then he's got limited options too.

I knew this too, just talked about it this morning on another board. I'm just frazzled.

From what I have been told.

- He never enrolled
- Has not been to class
- He is good to go anywhere he wants
- He is in touch with the Tigers coaching staff
- LSU wants him and has room
- He is waiting to see who the Vols coach will before deciding

By the way I am sorry about all this, not a way I would like to get a good player.

DE Jacques Smith (Ooletwah, Tenn./Ooletwah)
Stars: 4 | ESPNU 150 rank: NR | DE rank: 27
Smith is the lone in-state prospect in this class. It is not known what his plans are, but according to sources LSU wants him and is going to pursue him while the Vols are without a coach. Those same sources indicate that Smith has made contact with the Tigers. Smith told the Knoxville News-Sentinel that he was going to talk things over with his grandmother.

Been told he was on campus on Monday and Tuesday, has not register up for class and has not attended class. Waiting on the coach to be announced and is already in contact with the Tigers.

He was not enrolled it doesn't matter where he was walking the streets, he has not signed up for class and has not attended class. Now I don't know if that is true, but if it is he is free to go where he wants. If he signed up for class and was on campus yes he would be a Vol whether he likes it or not.

I believe Basilio said he's enrolled but did not have class on Wednesdays. It doesn't matter though based on what the UTAD said today in his press conf

I can't comment if it's true or not. What I was told is he did not sign up for class and did not attend class, this information could be false. If it's true, he is free to go where ever he wants. Of course the AD is going to try and tell everyone to go to class, he doesn't want them to leave.

I think he probably sticks it out...sounds like a Vol guy from day one..

As an LSU fan I would love to see him switch, we need DL badly...and I would like to see the switch after how all the vol fans here rubbed the Jackson, Brown, and Coach O deals in our faces...

maybe Karma finally strikes, who knows..

My guess is, Grandma says, wait and see who the coach is...probably will work out and you can stay home and see me and I can come visit...

Back in July he said distance was an issue..

Kiffin shafting us will be worse on Tennessee than NCAA sanctions. If our class falls apart, how will we be able to field a team next year and the year after? Answer: We wont

You should not give up like that.

LSU had a terrible recruiting class following Satan's I mean Saban's departure. Only had 13 recruits, including are some that got kicked off the team, and or left early. 2 years later NC.

So don't give up all hope.

TN is in a bad spot, you have to hire someone quickly and then show the recruits what the plan is, you will be able hang on to some and even gather other ones that like the new HC.

Huge difference.

Saban left LSU LOADED. We are left with some decent players Kiffin managed to bring in and whats left from the Fulmer debacle.

This has set this school back at least 3 years if not more. This class was going to be the biggest key to the future, period.

Everything they can manage to salvage at this point will help but wont be enough if we keep losing like we are.

At least we didn't get a whole lot at the Army AA game...We'd have even more of a drop off.

Actually by the time the NC came around there were very few players left from the Saban era maybe like 15 or so. The 2005 class were Juniors during the NC run.

Just don't give up because of one Lame-o prick, you'll be back. Hell, Houston Nutt competes with players that would ride the Vols bench, it's not impossible.

Darrell Patterson (news channel 9, Chattanooga) said he spoke to Jac on the phone tonight. Jac said that he was "technically decommitted from UT."

I really hope he stays. :(

Yeah but Channel 9 is probably spreading misinformation. :)

I think the kids should think about it and look at the hire, if he wants to leave LSU wants him. I want whatever the kid wants. The only other kid LSU probably would be interested in is Ambles but even he is probably not high on the list.

Sorry you guys got screwed, Kiffin is a prick.

Scout shows him with a LOI. Is that still from the "1201 on campus tough shiz" catch?

I want him like hell, but will understand if he leaves, this is just bad all around. Hope he is committed to the University and not a staff.
