Ohio state is like UT. Loved his film wanted to see him again in person. Once UT did, offer.
Florida state, the kid just always liked their style if defense. With that said, OSU is alot more in the mix from a contact/recruiting perspective than FSU. I don't see FSU being a huge factor. OSU could be..because, well Urban is Urban.

Is early playing time important to him? And does he understand how thin we are at his position?

Random questions:

Is the high school on the island? Hilton Head was one of our favorite family vacations...

Heard Poona did well at a recent camp. Do you have any details about that?

So he's waiting to see if OSU offers after their camp? If they do, he's likely a buckeye? If they don't he'll commit to UT?

Thanks for the info :hi:

He will play as a true frosh wherever he goes....yes ANYWHERE. i don't think anyone realizes how good this kid is on a daily basis. He led the nation in tackles and tackles for loss for a dl while playing both ways. He is an absolute beast. I'm not saying that being cocky, just seen this kid for a long time. He's a different animal. Alot of dt don't play early. Alot also don't squat 650 and run a 4.8 as a 16 year old jr either. Yes his whole film, he was 16. Just turned 17 a couple months ago.

No to Osu question. He could commit to UT before then. I think he's just trying to see as much as he can right now. You can read all the reports. He dominated the Orlando and Charlotte Nike camps.

We weren't meaning he wouldn't if he chose FSU, however I know they have the former #1 recruit in the country at DT who will be a Jr next year at one spot.

I'd love to see Poona and Danny O tearing up opposing OLs for us...

Very nice! Sounds like Poona's personality matches the geography: laid back, peaceful, no drama

Tell him he needs to commit to UT ASAP! :) Also, tell him to not fall for Urban and his creepy dreams. Thanks for the info tonight. Volnation would love to see Pooh Bear be a VFL!!

Yea you know OSU is going to offer and it sounds like he has his mind made up when they do.

I guess I just misunderstood your post earlier. Which isn't hard to do on a message board, but it sounded like he was all UT unless OSU offered. I guest I read to much into that post.

Loved ut's facilities. He knew coach jones and coach strip from Uc camp last year. Jones is an amazing recruiter you guys will find out. Biggest influence in decision is his grandma and coach. People think South Carolina has advantage because its close. South Carolina is 2 and a half from Hilton head. Knoxville is only 5 and a half. That is not a long drive.

Great to know, we're pretty excited about CBJ!

It doesn't bother the kid, he doesn't read forums. This is a kid who doesn't get into the hype let alone about himself. I can say I never heard a thing about his name until message boards. Not just this site, happens on all.

I'll just refrain. :good!:

Best name ever....Darth, why don't u post this inside info on Cockytalk so Mike doesn't flip out on me again.

Mike is a mouth breather, as are a good number of the posters and mods over there. They like me about as much as they like simply because I don't drink the kool aid.

The vols are the team to beat on Poona, not as close as people think. The only schools that UT would need to worry about is if Ohio State or Florida State jump in the mix.

Thanks for the great inside information!!! Really hope to see him in orange!!!
