“they never got down on themselves[.] for them to just keep fighting and take that game to overtime with a big team, that’s a big statement for a lot of the commits and stuff who were all there.

“that environment was probably one of the best ones that i’ve been in. It’s probably one of the top ones,” added mcdowell, who previously had attended games at georgia, florida state and georgia tech. “that game and the georgia-ole miss game last year were both pretty intense.”

“i was just going in to really just watch a good football game, and that’s what i got out of it at the end of the game,” said mcdowell, who chose the vols over auburn and georgia, among others.

“from the georgia game, that game was proving that tennessee’s on the way back up.”

“it was exciting,” mcdowell said. “there was a lot of people out there just having fun. It’s something i’m looking forward to when i get to knoxville.”

Cortez was also putting in some reruiting work (on Andrew Williams):

“I was working hard on him (during the visit), because we were kind of up there together. We all drove up the same day,” McDowell said. “I was working on him pretty much all day. I’m trying. It’s, like, 50-50 with me and him. I think I’m getting to him a lot more now, and Tennessee’s got a shot with him.”

Also on Cortez:

“I’m done,” McDowell said. “I’ve committed where I wanted to be at.”

Agree. He doesn't seem to get talked about as much as other commits, but the kid looks like a great playmaker. Can't wait to see him and TKJr patrolling the middle.

I know he's a baseball prospect as well. He gonna play BBall at UT as well? Wonder how that will work out....

He is going to play, not much of a baseball prospect though. Honestly don't think his baseball career will be long lived. Don't see him finding much playing time in our outfield outside of midweek games

Got it, thanks...thought maybe with the mess that the baseball program has been in the past few years under Raleigh and lack of good ball players that McDowell would be playing quite a bit.
