Glad you finally came out of the closet. The ignorance is on the OPs who create threads when there are multiple threads containing the answer. I only wish people would look within the correct forum before posting, that is all. There is way too much clutter to filter through as it is and repeat threads is the main culprit as well as people unfamiliar with the board making it hard for those on here daily to keep up!

Did you answer the question? :bash:
The answer is he was asked to look around. What else would a kid do when asked that? Yes, I woud decommit too!

Prime example: A new thread on Weis after three others...

Lol, cracks me up. Just give a darn answer or don't answer. So basically no one really knows why he decommited. Could be we are loosing a kid to Vandy? Sad.

The only way loose and vandy are associated with each other is through clay travis, because james franklin just will not get off of him.

This is the problem when you're not Hooked On Phonics and you start a new thread instead.

I did not answer the question. But I also did not bash him for asking a simple question. There are numerous pages on his forum so it may take people awhile to find the answer. I agree that it does get clustered but sometimes people may not be able to get on here everyday and its hard to keep track so its easier to just ask a simple question.

I thought this kid was a stud and going to go up in the rankings. Did we cool on him? Does that mean we think we are going to land a bigger fish?

Well the coaches told him to look elsewhere because the numbers are getting tight and Hill is about the same player but an early enrollee. So it was a mutual decision that he should look elsewhere.

Then he is going to ECU then, Virginia is right up there academically.

PRobably would be the best decision for him. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up at UVA. I'm sure Poindexter has been down there a number of time this past semester and I am sure he has gone back down there since Imani decommitted from us.

I still say 500 or more posts before starting a thread. JMHO

Most of the idiots on here use the "+1" reply to almost every thought to build post count. And you think their opinion or question is somehow of greater value than some one who has under 500? If the thread is beneath you then move along.

Good article on AJC this morning about the Imani and UT situation.

Ex-Tennessee RB recruit Imani Cross said he has “no hard feelings” after his recent separation from the Volunteers, and has set up at least two official visits with other schools in January.

The 6-foot-1, 220-pounder from North Hall High School was the Tennessee’s first commitment for its 2012 recruiting class, picking the Volunteers last February among 15 early offers, which included South Carolina and Georgia Tech. Cross is ranked as the No. 19 RB in the nation by ESPN.

However, the yearlong courtship ended after a recent conversation between Cross and Tennessee recruiting coordinator Terry Joseph. What happened? We’ll let Tim Cross, the recruit’s father, explain:

“After being committed for 11 months, the reason the recruiter Terry Joseph told Imani and then Derek Dooley told me was that, ‘they hired a new RB coach from South Carolina and don’t know if he’s a Scat guy or Spread guy, so they were re-evaluating backs and that Imani should look around at other schools.’ Derek Dooley also said that ‘they didn’t want to wait until the last minute to tell us so that we could look at other schools.’

“After being committed to Tennessee for so long and not talking to other schools after his commitment, Imani has no animosity toward UT. At the same time, we’re very thankful … that other schools began calling. We wish them [Tennessee] the best for their search for the ‘best back.’ They have 9 to choose from.”

What’s next for Imani? With around a month left before February’s national signing day, Cross has set up official visits with Nebraska on Jan. 20 and East Carolina on Jan. 13. Cross may also take recruiting trips to Vanderbilt and Virginia.

“We are not bitter at all … The best part is that Imani is on track to graduate by passing Graduation Test and ACT and has a 3.2 GPA,” said the elder Cross. “As Imani put it, ‘When one door closes, other doors open.’”

The younger Cross, who is considering going into the ministry after college, rushed for 1,700 yards and 24 touchdowns as a senior at North Hall, averaging more than 10 yards per carry. Cross also played defense and registered 88 tackles. He is the younger brother of Georgia Tech defensive end Izaan Cross.

The state of Georgia is fertile recruiting grounds for the Volunteers. Tennessee has 21 commitments for its 2012 class, including five from Georgia. The Volunteers were eliminated this week as a finalist for DE Jordan Jenkins.

I think Cross and his family are handling this entire thing incredibly well, and I wouldn't really blame them if they didn't quite as high of a road but:

that's not exactly true.

Yeah I caught that too. I think he was talking to Virginia back in the Summer IIRC.
