'14 IL LB Clifton Garrett

Incidentally, do any of you have any idea who the mystery “X” contributor to Tony Basilio’s blog may be? He posted a lengthy update on recruiting yesterday "
It is definitely not the original "X", who definitely had close look at what was really going on when Kiffin was here. That "X" is is California now.


Then there was another "X" and he was living in Florida, from what I am told.

The current "X" sounds more like Basillio making stuff up.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if "X" was an intern working for Basilio who reads VN, VQ, Scout, 247, etc..and just makes "predictions" from gathering info.

I'm getting a weird feeling all of a sudden that we get him now and I like it. I hate it for whoever gets dropped if so but holy crap if we had Garrett, Bates, Mouhon, Weatherd, and Jakob Johnson for a linebacker class.

this is my favorite prospect but sadly its pretty clear both him and Jackson are going to LSU based on their twitter accounts.

I guess it could be worse...they could be going to a team we play every year.
 
What did they say on twitter?

beat bama go lsu is all over Garrett's... also this one in particular is telling:

Clifton Garrett CG3 ‏@CG340 9 Nov

Bama vs LSU is like NFL on sat nights, this game is about to be #LIVE!!


and this one made me sad because Jackson was on his visit here when he tweeted:

SWEET PEA ‏@AdoreeKnows 13h

Keep me updated on the lsu Bama game guys

Incidentally, do any of you have any idea who the mystery “X” contributor to Tony Basilio’s blog may be? He posted a lengthy update on recruiting yesterday (The Tony Basilio Show) and subscribes to the theory that the specific composition of this class remains fluid, with perhaps 3-5 upgrades in talent likely before the proverbial ink dries on Letters of Intent. With respect to linebacker recruitment, he stated that "Tennessee will have to fight and claw all the way to National Signing Day to hold onto a couple of the linebacker prospects committed. For that reason, Tennessee is actively recruiting a handful of linebackers. One is Illinois linebacker Clifton Garrett, a five-star linebacker who has narrowed his choices to LSU and Tennessee."

I would ask which linebacker commits would we have to fight and claw for other than Gavin Bryant? Bates, Weatherd, and Mouhon have all shut their recruiting down. Dews is here if we want him. Sounds like more misinformation to get hits on Basillio's website

He gone!
 
LMAO!!!!!! I'm not very optimistic of our chances with these two but how someone can derive that we're completely out of it based on those two tweets is amazing. Bama/LSU was the primetime game last night. Anybody who even remotely follows the sport was interested. C'mon now.

Garrett doesn't sound good, but Adoree sounds fine to me. He was on his visit and clearly too busy to actually watch the game, so needed updates. Anyone in their right mind would want updates on that game. I think we're in fine position with Adoree.
 
id take what those kids said with a grain of salt. the fact jackson was in knoxville says a lot. i think this goes down to the wire
 
yeah wasn't trying to say they were lost forever but garrett just based on ONE TWEET... first of all on garett's timeline hes got every other tweet about LSU and not just stuff he's retweeting from their fans... and if you read more about him he's said in early interviews and over and over that LSU is #1 for him and the team to beat, he grew up an LSU fan, etc. I think its great the vols got in on him and I don't think its locked up completely but barring any crazy event happening...like Chavis moving on? I think Garrett goes to LSU. and again im not being a negavol I really want Garret to be a vol. I'm also not basing it on one tweet I just thought that one tweet was the most telling...

as far as Jackson I think he seems more open and I agree everyone wanted to see that game last night just as a CFB fan in general.. you could take it either way you wanted to.
but he looks a little bored here.

for the record I'll be surprised if Jackson ends up a vol but I think its the best place for him because he would start immediately and him and Cam would be a force to reckon with. i think we've got just as good a chance as any other school but i honestly don't follow his recruiting as much.
