With it taking so long to be confirmed, people were going to question it. It seems there is still no clear cut answer if the kid will be a part of this class. I would still put my money on it being a grayshirt offer before December. We are in on too many other kids who could play early here to promise a ship to a kid who would be 3years before playing here. JMO

Take it easy man. It's a message board. People can have whatever opinion they want. Right or wrong.

Not really gazing. I actually think it's alright if it's the gray shirt. He's only 16. If it was a commit for a scholly in the 2014 class then yes I thought it was a big reach. Not because of stars but bc of the backers we are in on currently. I like the kids potential. So no, has nothing to do with stars, moron.

As much as I want him to be a VOL, I think that is exactly what will happen if he plays the game till NSD.

This is a bit concerning don't you think? Both Truitt and Mouhon are both elite prospects at real positions of need. I get our desperation for "SEC ready" players, but surely CBJ would not turn these kids away so soon in the process. This is going to get interesting. Imagine if they would have done that to Marquez North last year.

I am OK with the way it's playing out. I am concerned with the Powell commitment because I think he would seriously consider the FL schools. Have to trust the staff knows better about where he is with his commitment. I don't think we passed on Truitt, he passed on making a decision when the staff had another option ready to take the spot. I would imagine Elliot and Evan will be on the clock shortly. With us taking likely only 1-2 more that their positions, they are about to be on the outside looking in as well. Only way I see us being a serious player for Mouhon or Hendrix or others waiting till closer to NSD is if we have someone back out or don't find an SEC capable kid to fill the spots over the next few months. In my mind, if a kid says he will make a decision after NOV, I am more less forgetting about him being in this class.

Granted I have not been posting for long but this thread has more disagreement and back and forth than anything I have seen. (and the kid just committed)


Official BOOM! and welcome to VN Jerome. I swear we are usually better behaved. :)

Why does every player have to be SEC ready at the time they commit or sign? Whatever happened to developing players and allowing their bodies to fill out and learn the position?

There have been a lot of great football players like Dews, who came to college not ready to play, but developed into very good football players.

I think in an ideal situation, that would be the case as it has been years back at Tennessee. Just about everyone other than Juco kids would be very likely to redshirt. With where we are now and the mass players leaving after this year, IMO we need more players who could possibly play earlier. We need immediate help at several positions. In a couple years when we are back to winning 9-10 games a season, I think we will be set up better to take kids who need more time to develop.

@All

Butch offered Weatherd on the basis of his staff's evaluation, prior to ratings by some ratings services. Shortly thereafter he gets rated 4 stars and everyone is impressed that Butch saw it before others. Butch offers young Mr. Dews, who clearly hasn't really been evaluated...and everyone blows up. Why? Trust please. At least for a little while.

@MDObserver

You have every right to be annoyed. Some folks here have been pretty stupid. The problem is that you don't know who is on the other side of the screen name. Could be a 53 year old father of 4 with wisdom and patience...or a 17 year old punk. Relax. If Jerome is what the staff believes him to be, in the future you will hear Neyland filled with 100k people screaming "De-ooooooooooooo-ws!!!!" after he puts the opposing QB face down in the turf. Nobody, least of all him, will remember the nonsense and confusion surrounding his commitment.

That said...with no official confirmation that his commitment had been accepted, and the general rule that Tennessee normally only takes players confirmed by recruiting services to be SEC grade talent, you really shouldn't get too hung up on those expressing doubt. It's nothing personal, I'm sure. And if for some reason it is, remember that some in here, perhaps even many in here, are those 17 year old punks I mentioned earlier...or perhaps 43 year old punks...with the operative word being 'punk'.

What name did i call him or her because i dont know what gender he or she is, secondly when is enough enough about who some of you guys want or dont't want, it has been made clear by some of you that you dont want him , thats cool, we can deal with that but damn, a 43 page thread mostly about someone some of you clearly dont want is a bit much, say you dont want and keep it moving, why keep coming back and saying the same stuff, get over it, and move on or at least until he misses a tackle or drops an interception,, or blows coverage, and then fire at will! Some of yall forget yall dealing with children that read this stuff, and god forbid a parent of one of these kids you covet so much read this and decide not to send there kid here based upon some reckless fans behind computers for their treatment of children. Let the man turn 18 and fire away!
