It is in an office park right next to Chick-Fil-A in Brentwood. Across Franklin road from Maryland Farms.

I was aware that Rivals was based in Tennessee, but I think I heard a while back that it had been started by an Ole Miss grad/grads. Has anyone else heard anything like this? Because I could just be crazy.

I think its actually owned by Bama grads and Scout is owned by Barner grads.

Or at least thats what I've heard.

I have always heard Ole Miss as well and may have been the one that mentioned it a while back.

The rumor/joke around Memphis in the past was always that a recruits stock would rise if he chose Ole Miss and drop if he chose another school over them, especially Miss St. I am pretty sure that this point was actually demonstrated at one time.

All in all, I do not find that to be the case these days.

Take Rivals, Scout, and ESPN rankings, average them out, and then you get and accurate assesment of a team and a player.

"when i went up to tennessee, they told me i threw the ball just like (philip)," stephen rivers said.

The vols were the first to step in with a written scholarship offer.

"i was really excited about getting it," rivers said. "when you get that first one, it really means a lot to you. I had the chance to go up there (for the vols game with auburn) a couple of weeks ago and i liked it a lot up on rocky top."

My brother-in-law works for them here in Nashville (or Brentwood to be more exact). I'll ask. I'm pretty sure I remember him saying the head guy was a Bama grad, but I can't say that for certain.

I do know my brother-in-law is an Ole Miss grad. He also worked with Ole Miss for a while under Coach O. Hates him with a passion. Apparantly Coach O is not an easy man to work for.

"I really liked it up there," Rivers stated. "It was my first game up there, and it was awesome. I was on the second row in the middle of everything. I have been to"

"I really liked Tennessee. I liked the atmosphere and the facilities. Everything was really good. I talked to pretty much all the coaches. I talked to coach Kiffin. He was telling me that he was glad I visited and hope that I come back.

"Tennessee is a nice place. I like the way they play. There is just something about the first offer you receivethat makes you favor them. I don’t have favorites right now, but I do like Tennessee."

Rivers claimed to grow up a fan of SEC football, and of course N.C. State with his brother attending school there.

"I would like to stay in the SEC," Rivers said. "I don't have a preference right now. I would like to stay in the south though.

Rivers is good. Tennessee is in excellent shape with at least 3 of the Top 10 QB's in the 2011 class and all of them have offers. My guess is they will take the first one to commit. Some of these guys might not want to wait around too much longer to make a choice.
