'14 JUCO OT Dontavius Blair (UT SIGNEE 12/18/13)

[BruinVol]

I bet they would take 2. They are trying to get back fast just like we are.

Well darn. If they would take two the timing of this can't be good for us.

I'm just speculating.

 

[BruinVol]

I'm just speculating.

Hell me to. I have posted A&M, us, and then auburn all in 10minutes.


It would be nice to have a follower of auburn recruiting to know if they are taking 2 juco OL

 

[Notorious NIC]

Is he a Left Tackle or Right Tackle? Correct me if I'm wrong, but if he's playing LT, wouldn't he want to wait to see if Tiny is going to return for his senior year? Or

 

[Ron Swanson]

Just now from Fortenberry...

I think it's mostly between Auburn and Tennessee with Texas A&M still very much alive. I believe he's still scheduled to be in Knoxville for the Auburn game.

Tiny is not coming back.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Bruin please make up your mind...

HAs he been here before?

If he never visited I completely agree

I would have guessed so since he liked us so much.

Good stuff. We have a good shot here then

The timing of this doesn't look good for us.

My guess is he lost his spot at auburn with them taking the other juco and A&M used that to amp up the pressure before he OVs to us.

A&M is my guess

If A&M is out I like our chances.

Surely auburn doesn't plan to take 2 juco OL

Well darn. If they would take two the timing of this can't be good for us.

 

[AstonRoyal]

Tiny is not coming back.

You never know. If we show good things the remainder of the season, we could have a great season next year. That may be all he needs to come back for a senior year

 

[BruinVol]

Bruin please make up your mind...

Yep. Been all over the place. Even joked about it.


With VQ saying A&M is very much alive I have come full circle back to them.

If he is deciding now I don't like the timing for us

 

[StoVol]

So easy a caveman could do it

 

[cncchris33]

Tiny is not coming back.

I'm guessing Tiny's stock is on the decline. He has been whooped by several opponents this year. He is very undisciplined to boot.

 

[Volinleesburg]

Still rated as the 4th best ot by several lists I have seen.

 

[VFL23]

I don't know if they are taking 2 Juco OL, but don't call me Surely!

Bro, you break things down so much that you're gonna split an atom one of these days.

Lol.

 

[LittleDTO]

Tiny has looked bad a few times this year.

I still think he is the most talented OT in college football right now.

 

[Biopsyman]

Richardson should be back based on this play to date...

 

[nicksjuzunk]

According to Tiny, he just yielded his 4th career sack on Saturday

Is he counting the UF game? Iirc he was getting blown by and caused an int near the goal. He needs work, but if he's draftable he's gone. And I dont blame him.

What if he's projected to go in rounds 3-4, would you think he should go then?

There are lots of examples out there of juniors who are predicted to go in the 1st or 2nd rounds who play out their senior year of college and then end up going lower. I recall Arian Foster ranking as a 2nd rounder after his junior year and his senior year didn't work out to his benefit.

I agree he needs work on both his skill set and his self control, but not sure the NFL values those things as highly as size and athletic ability?

 

[KBVol]

dont think hes visited UT yet. he had an extremely good visit to TAMU. always liked Auburn.

i think we are 3rd

Gayle Sayers IMO

 

[Jackcrevol]

ooor he could just be saving fuel for the league?

juss sayin'. you never know with these guys.

ill never question anyone anymore bc of arian foster. smh. i had that pegged for the looney bin. i mean, prerodactyls? cmon.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Brian Perroni of 247 just picked UT on the crystal ball for Blair. I think that might be significant due to his ties to the state of Texas and A&M.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Dontavius Blair will announce his commitment

Garden City Community College tackle Dontavius Blair tells me he will be announcing his commitment today. Blair says he is waiting to hearing from his community college advisor to let him know that everything is in line for a December graduation. When that happens, he will announce.

Everything I know about this situation says he will choose Tennessee. Then, you know how recruiting can be. Nothing is done until it is done. Still, I'll be shocked if this is any other school.
