People act so surprised when one of these top recruits gush over UT. We are the Vols, by God!!!!!! What's the surprise? We are a freaking NFL factory. We have a stadium of 107000 strong. We have Lane and Chaney who have coached a LOT of NFL QBs. We have some of the hottest coeds in the country. Can BYU or U Dub compete? His kid might redshift for 1 year and be the starting QB for the next 3-4 years. This is not a hard sell. Shoot he might even have PT as a true frosh.

I would say that if Washington had talent anywhere but the QB position. I think that evens it out a little bit, but at this point, I still think that it's U Dub>>UT>>>>>BYU on his list.
My point is despite a kids desire to stay at home or even if he has pressure from his family to go to a certain school, our staff has persuaded prospects to come to UT. In the last hours of recruiting our staff has gone against all odds and pulled recruits from S Carolina, Notre Dame, UF, Miami,etc. So what if this kid grew up a UDub fan. You don't think our recruiters haven't gone against greater odds than that. In the 4 months Kiffin has been here he has surmounted greater odds than that. Hell I bet Peyton grew up an Ole Miss fan all his life, and you better believe it when he had pressure to play there.
