'12 JUCO DE Denico Autry (MSU signee)

Only have a week to try and sway him back to the bright orange light. If he's not taking the coaches' calls, chances are he won't accept a visit. Best hope at this point is that D. Jacobs is still solid to us and will try to re-recruit Autry for us. If he can reopen the door for the coaches, we might have a shot, otherwise, I'd say we're done.

I would pretty much say that we are done with him. The staff really needs to concentrate on McCullers. Reel him in and I think we pull Sentimore and keep Jacobs.

Not trying to be a negavol, but when things like this happen, it makes me think from Rocky Top to rock bottom. Oh how the mighty have fallen. Kudos to post 2001 Phil Fulmer and Mike Hamilton for kicking a once proud program in the nutsack. Days like today really hurt. I really hope Dooley and staff can pull something out of their ass, because we really need it. The D-line has to improve next year for us to seriously compete. Man this just sucks. We need some crazy Ole Miss fan to go and desecrate something MSU holds dear. Won't help anything, but it will ease the pain. And yes, I'm just kidding. Maybe. :birgits_giggle:

I doubt we'll get this kid back. It's too bad too, we really needed an addition to our pass rush...

VN,

Let me start by saying that I bleed orange and have since birth. I admit I was wrong saying Autry was a Vol lock. Obviously, no kid is a lock until the papers are in. When LT has been telling me for the past two months that Autry is "all Vol," I believe him. I felt confident in what LT (and others) told me about Autry. Nobody had any doubts. So, I relayed that information to VN with confidence, too much confidence. Now I have egg on my face. I've learned my lesson and will be more conservative with the information I post.

Today, I, along with many others in the know, were all shocked when news came out that Autry committed to MSU. The staff found out about this after it was first reported by Scout. There are a lot of people at UT very suspicious about the commitment.

For those questioning whether I make stuff up or get all my information from TOS, follow the timeline of comments today regarding Autry's commitment and the shock to the staff from me (above), Fortenberry, SBV, and Skeeter. All very consistent.

Regardless of whether you love me or hate me, there's no need to argue about me. All it does is clutter the board and detracts from the integrity of the recruiting forum. Let's just stick to talking about recruiting and leave the e-cred debates alone.

Go Vols!!!

We've "had" Autry for a long time. This commitment is a "statement" he is making to show his anger at something or another. Depending on how stubborn he is and how the staff wants to handle this, he may switch to Tennessee. If $$$$ is involved, well, bye.

If you set up expectations on other men then you set yourself up for disappointment.

We didn't lose Autry because we didn't have Autry yet.

No more than Luc, Wright, Dawson, Jernigan but we didn't have Da'Rick, Hunter, Maggitt or JJ either, until the end.

Don't sh-t a brick so damn fast... Many good or better things will happen.

If we were to get McCullers (long shot I know but better today than yesterday) and in fact lose out on Autry in the end we would be btter off. Yes, we would.

We could lose somebody who HAS committed or maybe keep those but will probably get another surprise like both of the last 2 years. Anyway...........

When it sinks in to Autry that he committed to Vietnam, MS
he still may yet change his mind again. ???

Agreed, but with Autry being an EE he would have to hurry if he decided to change his mind.

I'm sure MSU learned to be better at this after losing the bidding for Cam Newton. His saga is like a handbook on how to buy a player and avoid NCAA penalty. You can buy 'em, just don't throw 'em a BBQ. :)

Its pretty simple, thanks OCI! Everyone in the know was calling this one a done deal. Dont worry about the less fortunate on this board. They are the EXTREME minority!

Same here. Of course, on signing day if McCullers joins Tennessee, and we somehow land Sentimore and steal Hamilton (loooooooong shot, yes, I know... thanks) then everyone will say "Autry who?"

The point is, enjoy the wild ride that is the December to February recruiting push.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Autry wasn't going to reveal his verbal until he went home for Christmas on the 15th. He was going to do a fax or something. No public media outlet or anything. But, I've been wrong before...lol

Fortenberry was asked on Volquest if we were to filp Autry would Sentimore and McCullers still be a take? He replied, "I don't think you'll have to worry about that situation arising."
