I am kinda iffy about a guy committing when he has never even seen our campus? Seems to scream de-commit with it being only May and him being a TX guy

Not trying to be a d*** but people need to just chill w/ the whole him de-commiting talk.

The kid just committed last night, enjoy the fact that we just landed one of the top Safeties in the nation. Miles has already said that him & his family are planning to visit Tennessee this summer, & I'm sure he will take his official visit in the fall. He will likely take OV's to other schools too. He wants to play in the SEC & we sold him on being our Mark Barron & the fact that Tennessee has put a lot of good Safeties into the NFL. IMO he stays a Vol all the way through just like McNeil did (even though I had my doubts a few times)

Get up in they binness jmoore!

People act as though a visit will really turn them away. Gimme a break. Everyone glows after visiting k-town... Meeting the coaches, family atmosphere, gameday experience, the impressive sight of neyland and of course our new facilities that are top 3 nationally. Yep... Probably decommit

Since we all know that has never happened :crazy:

I put no weight to any players commitment this early, if he still shows interest after a visit and when he is actually a senior in high school then I will follow their words more.

I love the commitment but I think it would help solidify his commitment when he visits.

Like the fact that he committed but I wonder whats gonna happen when Texas comes calling? Rivals had him at a 4.9 and we were his only offer. You know a 4.9 Texas standout is gonna get more attention later...I hope he stays though, unlike Santos.

I'm pretty sure Texas won't offer.

He went to their camp as a Junior w/ his coaches & they told him he wasn't getting a offer because he was a hybrid LB/S in their eyes. I think it pissed Miles off.

I don't see the hybrid thing, 200lbs isn't huge for a safety. I want teams to be scared to run across the middle on us. and I like having larger bodied safeties as extra run stoppers. As long as they can play the position what does it matter.

Everyone believes that once he is in a College S&C program that he will add weight & end up at LB.

I understand what you are saying but a good S&C program can also make improvements and not gain as much muscle mass. It's just a different type of training.

I agree. Look at AJ Johnson, most people thought he would outgrow the LB position, he played at 245lbs last year & is now down to 240lbs.

Hell that 5 lb difference could just be from leaning out some. I think for the most part they are just maintaining his weight while honing his skilz.

The Rivals review by Perroni mentioned that Miles has been this size since his Sophomore year of HS. He may not grow any more. Like JMo said he could end up like AJ.

SIAP... Sporting News:
In an interview with Sporting News earlier this spring, Texas native Kameron Miles loved the idea of playing in the SEC. Although he held one of the coveted invitations to the Texas Longhorns’ junior days, he still talked about what it would be like to play farther east.

Now, it’s official—he’ll be playing in the SEC. Tennessee landed his commitment when the 6-foot-2, 200-pound defensive back out of West Mesquite High School in Mesquite (Texas) announced he’d play for the Volunteers.

Miles is ranked No. 77 on the Sporting News Top 125 list and is one of Tennessee coach Derek Dooley’s biggest pickups in his short tenure as head coach.

Arkansas, Ole Miss, Penn State, Stanford, UCLA, Vanderbilt, Virginia and West Virginia all offered Miles, as had in-state schools Rice, SMU, TCU and Texas Tech. The Longhorns had since moved on.

“I want to play in the SEC,” the Dallas-area native told the Chattanooga Times Free Press after making the decision. “That’s really where my heart was at. I had a good connection with the coaches, and that’s why I really felt comfortable. It’s just a wonderful feeling, and I’m really happy right now. I just really can't believe this is happening right now.”

Miles told Sporting News this spring that even with the junior day invite from Texas, he was actually just as excited about an unofficial visit he had to LSU.

“Me becoming a BCS starter would be because of my maturity and my IQ of the game on the next level,” Miles previously told Sporting News. “What makes me good at my position is my ball skills, play recognitions and that I’m very physical coming down hill, and with my coverage.”

The Volunteers have seven commitments—three from in-state. Defensive end Jason Carr and offensive lineman Austin Sanders are two other top recruits, and both are from the state of Tennessee

Based on THIS interview, it looks like he's more stoked about playing in the SEC than at Tennessee... The comment about LSU is scary... I hope we hold on to him, but don't be surprised if he doesn’t entertain other offers from other top SEC programs.

Sure, it could go either way, but he will visit, and my cash says that locks him in further. This has nothing to do with the fact that he may get an offer later that sways him. I just don't think the "oh no! he committed without ever being here" argument holds a lot of water. You can bring up Josh Nunes and MacKenzie Alexander if you want... just sayin.

This guy will be one of the first to back out of his commitment and sign with a Texas team. Just a gut Feeling.
