So he'll either gray shirt or be here next fall depending on how the rest of our numbers work out for this class. Sounds good to me.

I believe the kid looks like an athlete to me. Doesn't matter what stars or offers he currently holds. I don't see him as an aj Johnson run stuffer, but he could very well grow into a role on either side of the ball. I say congrats and welcome to the family young man!

So he might greyshirt depending on the numbers? Hmmm.. is this a recruiting tactic to get other LBs on board sooner?

Recruit- "Crap... UT only has ___ more LB spots open now, I better join while I can"

Might not be a bad tactic. Sell the kid on the "possibility" of a scholarship. He keeps visiting and gets to be close friends with the players. Then if/when we fill up, he loves it enough to accept a grayshirt opportunity being part of the 2015 class.

Most important question is, what will this do for our Rivals ranking? (Joking in case it's not evident)

Every kid does not have to play right away. This kid has the frame and athleticism to develop into a solid player in a couple of years.

I agree with what you are saying, but keep in mind that you are dealing with a somewhat "shell shocked" fan base that is used to Derek Dooley signing classes where half of the guys signed were reaches and/or "diamond in the ruffs". It takes time to get over 3 years of that. :)

Dooley took very few if any kids without other SEC offers

Once again it dudes like you, or you may be a women, who wont leave well enough alone, let it go mam, or sir, your opinion on you wanting him does not matter because you don't matter in this case unless you are a Tennessee coach, which i doubt, so enjoy the rest of your evening Mr or Ms, or Mrs Irrelevant in this matter!!

That's all fine and dandy but I sure hope that Mouhon does not get the "Truitt" treatment.

Looks to be a suspect source as well. I just can't see the kid actually being a commitment and it not being all over twitter, recruiting sites, our commitments welcoming him, and the coaches as well. Maybe the coach who spoke to the reporter was the guy posting in this thread earlier.
