Jacq has been one of my favorite recruits, He seems to be committed to Tennessee not LK. Hope he makes the right choice.

He was not enrolled, nor signed up for classes and he went to no classes... I heard it yesterday but I could not confirm. So, unless he is lying or the news guy is lying, than he is not a Vol. Even if he were lying waivers will be given to these guys.

Rumor I have heard he is checking out LSU this weekend, could be untrue, I don't know.

if they were enrolled for 12 credit hours and they were on campus, then they were "locked in" to the Vols' program and could not change their commitment without sitting out a transfer year.

Monroe said he could not speak for any of the other enrollees, but Smith didn't fall into that category because he had not yet enrolled for classes. He had planned to do that on the first day of the semester.

My "misinformation" comment was directed at the idiot that said something to me yesterday about this. If he comes this weekend he could enroll before the deadline.

I don't know. Either someone is lying about what he said or he is in fact lying, or the alternative is he did exactly what I have heard and what that article said.

So, you either have a lying Volunteer or you have a truthful non-Volunteer. If he says he didn't enroll I certainly am not going to say he is lying when I have no first hand knowledge.

Monroe said Smith has already looked into the matter with the SEC, and will be able to go to another school without penalty if he so chooses.

That was Wednesday afternoon and follows what I learned yesterday.

Either he is a honest non-Volunteer or he is a lying Volunteer.

So? He could be sitting in the Dean's Office right now and it wouldn't matter.

If he didn't enroll, he didn't enroll. I don't have a clue if he didn't or did. I was told yesterday that he hadn't even signed up for class yet and he was going to do that yesterday. Ever article says the same thing I heard before the articles came out.

Again, he is either a lying Volunteer or a honest non-Volunteer, or his HS coach is full of crap. Either way waivers will be coming to many of them.

Smith was scheduled to begin classes at UT today but has decided to put off enrolling to allow time to discuss his future with his family.

I think your friend has got the wrong man, Cody. Jacques is at a basketball game and sitting in the second row alright but its Ooltewah's game against Chatt.Brainerd. He sat 2 rows in front of me and lots of people were coming over trying to talk to him. I heard him say he didnt know what he was gonna do that there was a lot of stuff happening. His cell phone was going crazy with texts. He was just hanging with his Ooltewah buddies.

No. He's back home in Ooltewah. Coach Benny Monroe drove to Knox and picked him up. He says he's got to talk to his "mom and grandma" to figure out what's best.

He is def. not in Knox.

Hey, Apex. Was on your site earlier. You're not a bad group of fans. I was surprised at how civil and intelligent some LSU fans seem to be over there.

Still, if you get Jac, it'll be like our taking JJ last year from you. Losing this guy will hurt... both the team, but a lot on the Vol pride factor.

Jac's the guy I've expected to be our Eric Berry (solid leader, player, and All Vol) in this class. If you have to kick us while we're down, I wish you guys would pick someone else to poach.

J. Smith had the hearts of a lot of people on here already. I understand he's a kid, and this whole thing has thrown him for a loop. But it isn't going to be the same now. If he'd been able to handle it the same as Palardy....

I wish him well whatever he decides, and I'm disappointed he didn't love Tennessee as much as I thought he did.

Why you are still posting is beyond me. I will hand it to you, you have industrial size ones.

Former Ooltewah defensive end Jacques Smith is among the many wavering. Smith did not attend class at Tennessee on Wednesday and will use the next few days to decide whether he will stay with the Vols or pursue another school such as Georgia or LSU.

"This is a business," Smith said, "and everybody's making a business decision that's best for them."
