Looks like a two for one.., Scott picks UT. Also, nobody mentioned, a USCe guy will cover the event for 247. This means We won't have Rucker! I would much rather have this USC media guy cover a UT announcement than Rucker... Let's all hope this is a sign he'll stop covering UT.

Your phone most likely isn't nearly as smart as it portrays itself to be. Idk. Jmo.

I think my mentality at this point is that there are no more "bad feelings". This class is insane, our EE's alone are enough to get excited about.

Unless we have 15 decommits between now and signing day, I think we can all agree this offseason has been a success. At this point whoever wants to jump on the train is welcome, and whoever doesn't we wish the best of luck to.

Can't argue with that...Adding Scott to this class would be more insanity as We would be really building up the best RB class in the country...You can never get enough depth and with the class of RB's coming in we would be able to open up that offense quite a bit more....If our qb's shape up and get better we will be in the hunt in no time.

Not room for all 3.

Excellent and consistent RB's will make our QB's much better. At least it will be easier for them to do their job.

SCOTT SET TO ANNOUNCE
Top247 all-purpose back Derrell Scott of Havelock (N.C.) High School is scheduled to announce his decision today at approximately 3:15 p.m. EST, and there was no clear indication as of late Sunday night regarding whether Scott was likely to choose Tennessee or South Carolina.

Scott took an official visit to Florida the weekend of Jan. 17, but it remains a two-team race between the Vols and the Gamecocks. Tennessee still is believed to have the momentum with Scott heading into today’s announcement, but Scott and people close to him remained relatively quiet over the weekend following his final in-home visit Thursday with South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier, defensive line coach Deke Adams and running backs coach Everette Sands. The Gamecocks were the longtime favorites to land Scott before the Vols emerged as serious contenders, but things seem to have shifted more toward Tennessee over the past couple of months. The Vols began to look like more of a contender for Scott the week of his official visit to Knoxville in early October, and some were convinced by late November that UT had become the team to beat.

ADVANTAGES FOR VOLS
There are a few things working in Tennessee’s favor with Scott, starting with his opportunity to play early for the Vols. He believed going into last week’s in-home visits with UT and South Carolina that he had a better chance of playing a significant role as a true freshman for the Vols. The Gamecocks did their best last week to convince him that their depth chart wasn’t quite as crowded as it might have seemed, but there was no clear indication of whether it was enough to sell Scott on South Carolina. Tennessee also has benefitted from the presence of UT redshirt freshman defensive end Kendal Vickers — a friend of Scott and one of his former Havelock teammates — and the Vols’ ability to make Vickers a late addition to their 2013 class in May. Vickers was a South Carolina commitment who appeared to be junior college-bound before he enrolled at Tennessee last year, and the Vols’ handling of the situation seems to have given Scott and some close to him a bit more trust in Tennessee than they might have in South Carolina.

It’s hard to say whether that will be a major factor in Scott’s decision, but it’s at least something to consider. UT running backs coach Robert Gillespie also has developed a strong relationship with Scott over the past several months, giving the Vols a chance to host Scott on an official visit and eventually making them one of the favorites to land him — if not the team to beat. Will it be enough for Scott to commit to Tennessee? We’ll find out Monday afternoon. Sources close to both programs indicated Sunday that Scott had yet to inform either team of his decision. Some close to Scott’s recruitment still wouldn’t be surprised to see him choose either school, but others who believed going into the weekend that the Vols were likely to be the choice still felt that way Sunday.
