This situation has Santos written all over it.....IMO..JMO. Jeez I hope I am wrong. If he gets his grades in order, the bama schools would be stupid to not offer him, and if they do...I think he is gone. IMO and JMO. :unsure:

Yea but is this just your opinion though?

The question is whether or not he will be a legitimate take in December for Alabama. Saban isn't the type to wait around. They should be done at LB, barring a McMillan commitment, but they did offer Weatherd recently.

They'll be full by then I think. Bryant is the best LB we've got committed to me(and that's saying something with what we've got). Top shelf enforcer we desperately need. Game compares to Jon Bostic to me.

I think some of you are over emphasizing comments that didn't come across as the way some of you are implying. I just saw a 17 year old kid who's probably not use to being interviewed do what kids do and get a little nervous in front of a camera. If the coaches feel he's not a solid, I feel they will have a back up plan. Non issue IMO.

That is how I see it. I would bet the coaches know where the kid stands as far as his commitment goes. With that being said, most fans who follow recruiting knew when the UM offer came Powell was probably about to bail. Vic, Swain, and others on twitter saying, "he's all Vol", did not end up being the case. If the offer does come from au or bama for Bryant, most figure he is gone. If he plans to stick with the Vols, it would be easy for him to come out and say that in an interview. "Tennessee wanted me now, when the AL schools did not". "Because of that, I will be a Vol". Simple statement and eliminates the speculation. JMO

What makes it tough IMO is if the staff finds another top LB who wants to commit, do they try and slow play him to see what happens with Bryant's grades or do they drop Bryant right then and take the other kid? I think Bryant is a top caliber type of LB, but not sure another kid would sit back and wait to see if he qualifies before he would decide to commit elsewhere.

I think they still honor his scholarship. This has a similar feel as Eddie Lacy did coming out of high school. He was down to Alabama and Tennessee and chose Bama. It worked out pretty well for Alabama I'd say.

Easily a take for Bama had it not been for grades. Boy is so underrated it's a shame. Much more college ready than Peters was frame wise.

I completely agree re: frame wise being much more college ready than Peters. It wasn't the best comparison, I was just reminded of Peters watching Bryant's film, except Bryant has at least an inch and 15 pounds on Peters without losing any speed. Kid flies to the ball and arrives with force. He appears to love the contact and smashing kids at full speed. I love his game.

What make you thing Henderson is going to bolt? He goes way back w/ Butch. Dude is solid.

Not saying either will bolt, just that when I look at our commit list, those are the 2 I'd worry about if I was going to worry.

Can you think of two kids we'd be more likely to lose? Maybe the TE that visited bama. I think schools are gonna come after Paulk but I think he's solid.

The TE that visited Bama was Ethan Wolf and no, he's as solid as they come. Same goes for Paulk.

I think you have to take the commit without question if it's a Top LB. No slow playing going on with the way Bryant seems so wishy-washy about his commitment. I think Bryant is a great prospect but he's an obvious choice for one of those guys who will burn you at the very end. If taking another Top guy at LB means dropping Bryant I think you have to do it.

Something to consider with respect to this...wasn't Bryant a part of the reason Cherry committed?

According to Rivals, UA, AU and UF have offered. Barring grades he is a solid commit and people need to get off of him. All this negative crap may cause the kid to doubt his decision.

Bryant along with Bates, Moomoo, Weathard = Lethal!

This. I'm rooting for the kid to work on his grades and get here in a hurry. We need and want this young man at UT.

Got it backwards. Cherry was part of the reason Bryant committed. They hit it off on their visits, Cherry committed, and then Bryant a couple days later.

Yeah this, Odd Future was trying to find a handle for Cherry to show Vol love to Bryant but apparently he dropped that Twitter. Anybody able to come up with a new one for Cherry because Bryant is one of those rare kids with no social media?

Jeeez guys...I said IMO and JMO. I mean that's like Ricky Bobby sayin "With all due respect" :) I am not on this kid, he is bringing on these feelings with his vacillation. I really think this guy is a beast, and I really want him to stick. Also FWIW I didn't realize the Bammers had offered.
