Good to see the mode rising in here.

Obviously I am feeling better but not all the way there yet.

Has the 247 site that reported he flipped 2weeks ago said anything pro Tenn today???

Until they report its us I still think its very possible all these other reports are just coming from the tenn staff side of things in which we are being falsely optimistic

Those positive thoughts mean little to me since reportedly he has been lieing for weeks now.

"biggest piece of the puzzle"
"it must be proven wrong before I get excited"

LOL @ those quotes. What is this a game of clue?

Well, we haven't heard from DaVonte today so it's hard to tell. You'll recall that yeterday, he told our Kipp Adams he was torn, and that he had to talk to his folks to figure things out. He did mention he thought UT's roster was better for early PT.

At Auburn, the Tigers have felt like they have a fairly good shot. But ... they really aren't 100% sure what he will do. Our folks in Knoxville are sort of getting the same vibe. UT apparently thinks it will keep him, but until he signs will probably be a little worried.

***

As for me, I still don't have a prediction. Just isn't enough info available pointing to either school. I said yeterday, I was leaning slightly toward UT because 1. he was, after all, committed there and 2. liked the roster better than Auburn's.

But ... I'm not feeling comfortable with a pick of either right now.

Vols fans have always been good -- no make that great -- to me, but a few were upset when we reported a couple weeks ago that a source close to Lambert thought he would flip to Auburn. At that time, it was pointed out Lambert was maintining he was 100% to UT and wasn't even looking at other schools, so we were accused of having an agenda. Since then, Lambert has sort of shut things down, allowed Auburn an in-home (Vols had one, too), and then told Kipp he's torn.

So obviously, there wasn't just smoke.

At this time, however, I just don't feel comfortable making a pick.

It wouldn't shock me if he stuck with UT. It woulsn't shock me if he flipped.Is that a cop out? Well, yeah, I guess it is. But the truth is, I'm not sure what Lambert will do.

He was on the fence yesterday. I'm on the fence today.

Sounds like it has been a tough decision for him. I would ask that if this pick doesn't go your way, let's not start bad-mouthing him.

**** As always, if any new info comes in, I will pass it along.

7:38 p.m. update: Even though Lambert will announce around 3 p.m., apparently he may be sending fax in between 8 and 10. So team that gets him will know before his announcement.

I think it is significant that the only reporters who have been in actual contact with Lambert over the last 48 hours have been the Vols 247 guys. Still think Lambert will be clad in Big Orange tomorrow.

He's sending in his LOI early in the AM, which means he's likely made his decision.

VQ all of the sudden sounds confident in Tennessee. Putting 2 and 2 together, I'm confident he's a Vol.

Yuuuup, we should hear from somewhere if his fax comes in I assume.

Here is the one prediction that is golden.


All these positive vibes are clearly to be followed by our "insider" showing up with a barrage of GIFs later tonight claiming to have the info!!


Come on OCI you know you want to

Appreciate the article man.

...but that was basically an essay saying "I have no idea what's going on, I'm just talking out of my a$$ to make sure all my bases are covered and I don't lose credibility".

I took that as good for us since 2wks ago he said he had flipped. He clearly backed off of that

A lot of things have worried me regarding this whole process, especially the announcement when he has already announced...

BUTTTTTTTT!

Then 74 did his smile thing and that guy is a freakin prophet. If he told me there was an invisible bridge in a canyon, I'd walk off the edge where he told me it was

I think the key points of Niebuhr's info were:
1. UT feels good about Lambert,
2. Auburn acknowledges UT has big advantage with depth chart,
3. Lambert has cut Auburn 247 out of communication.

All of this is good for us landing Lambert.

Does Malone is going to Clemson ring a bell with you? How about Malone Clemson "book it". Your track record is not so good.
