It doesn't matter if it's for fun or not. Visits are normal. These kids need to have back-up plans. But, what has Weatherd done to make anyone believe he won't be a Vol? If there were any serious indications, VQ and 247 would most likely be all over it.

Why on earth would a kid need a back up plan if there is zero doubt he has a spot with us???


You suggesting he might get culled?

Lol man tell me where I said he made me think he wouldn't be a vol? I've said before that I think he'll stick with us.

 

[OCIVol]

Scotty wins.

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

100% a vol if he doesn't take any visits.

90% vol if he does.

You guys tell me which you prefer??

I prefer statistics that you don't randomly pull from your head.

 

[cncchris33]

I'm not saying he won't stick and I'm not saying it's wrong of him to visit other schools but you don't take visits "just for fun" this late in the recruiting process.

What else is there to do in January?

Let him take the visits and host other coaches, I don't care. All I'm saying is don't complain when people start speculating his commitment is shaky.

Party.

Since when does, "what has Weatherd done to make anyone believe he won't be a Vol," refer to you specifcally?

I'm speaking in general, as I know how every little nugget of information on this site snowballs in the blink of an eye.

Same here but denying there isn't more of a chance of him flipping when he takes visit is far from reality.

Give me your % then please.

Surely you aren't going to deny that taking visits increases the chances he flips??

 

[cncchris33]

Party.

Id guess the parties experienced as a recruit at aTm and Allbarns will far excede those at Podunk Junior College, but to each his own.

You quoted my post? It's no big deal. Chris will be a vol on NSD. We go on to win 7 games this year and all is well.

You don't take visits for fun. You take visits because there is some interest there. It may come out to be nothing though.

Lol.

 

[Mike4Vols]

Committed:
1.

feeling dedication and loyalty to a cause, activity, or job; wholeheartedly dedicated.

The kid is taking visits. He's not 'wholeheartedly dedicated'. I believe Butch has a better chance to keep him than Dooley (WAY better). But to deride a poster because he feels worried about his commitment is misguided.

 

[BruinVol]

You don't take visits for fun. .

I disagree

You don't take visits for fun. You take visits because there is some interest there. It may come out to be nothing though.

I'd disagree, especially when there are girls who wanna convince you how awesome their school is.

Have you not seen Varsity Blues, bro?

This is how Ryan Callahan over on 247 answered someone who posted something along the same lines:

Not all junior-college prospects are automatically early enrollees. The early junior-college signing period that begins Dec. 18 is only for players who are planning to be early enrollees. Weatherd once hoped to enroll at UT in January, but it became clear a few months ago that he wasn't going to be able to graduate from his junior college in December, so he will be signing in February and enrolling next summer. That's why Auburn and Texas A&M still are pushing to get an official visit from Weatherd in January.

Apparently, Weatherd is making it pretty clear he's a Vol, but because he's not an EE, coaches from other schools are still recruiting him pretty hard.

Ok, maybe I went too far. But, in this case, I don't see it as being just for fun.
