Then you saw what I saw. Pics of him holding heisman trophies at AU and UGA. Bamas locker room, Wearing Ole Miss, AU, and UGA jerseys on visits. Several random UM pics. Not a single 1 Tennessee related. I think after looking at it, there is only 1 conclusion.


VOL.

I have no strong feeling with Green one way or the other, but I agree 100% with your logic. It is the only thing I have "seen" that makes me think he will be a Vol.

Beyond that, the logical arguments for Green to become a Vol are compelling -- stability of staff (new staff will be given at least 3 years); Graham will be his position coach for his entire college career; living and playing during the winter in Tennessee and the South (SEC area) is far more pleasant than living and playing in Michigan and the North (Big "10" area); playing in the "Championship League" SEC as opposed to playing in the largely irrelevant "big 10"; Tennessee offers guaranteed early playing time with a high probability of being the starting RB right off the bat -- that is not the case with Michigan; and while he would have a relatively easy path to the NFL at either school, scouts tend to give extra credit to a player in the SEC who plays weekly against the toughest competition in the country.

If Green is mature enough to use sound logic as the basis for making his decision, the choice becomes easy and he will be a Vol tomorrow afternoon.

Gotta trust Jay Gramham on this one. You can't blame CBJ if we don't get him cause Dooley being fired really set us back

him not having UT pictures on his twitter account is the only thing that makes you think he could pick Vols? it could more mean he doesnt want to toy with the Vols fanbase. it could mean nothing at all, as well.

Just reaching for something positive. Has not been alot of that around here of late. IMO, no UT pics is very odd.

We won't get him....only because we need him so badly. If we had a stud RB and didn't need him then he would be a lock. Forgive my pessimism but the recruiting disappointments and letdowns over the last few years have left me feeling like we are always going to get the short end of the stick.
