So do we ride it out and risk losing out on other DTs altogether? I see Barnett as a project DT as it is. He will need to add some major weight before he can play. Year 2 at best and possibly year 3 before he is seeing serious reps IMO. While rated very high as a DE, not sure I risk passing on any more DTs while he tries to find a way to talk himself into going to candy as his mother wants. Don't get me wrong. If we have a spot when he is ready to commit, we take him. Do I hold a spot for him and pass on other DTs all the way till January? Nope.

I don't even try to evaluate these kids. I assumed he was an elite type talent. If he is elite I hold a spot and risk it. If he is just Another guy then I agree with you

Well you see... The post that you quoted directly answered the question in your response to said post. So I answered your question sarcastically with the wrong answer, because the answer to your op was in the quote directly above it. Hope that clears everything up.

I was just clarifying if the post about him waiting was the writers opinion or a direct quote. I still don't know the answer

“It’s probably going to be after the season,” Barnett said on Sunday night. “I just want to focus on my team. I’m just going to focus on BA now and make my decision after the season.”

From the Barton Simmons article

You have to remember that Simmons is a Vandy homer. He said that he "thinks" Barnett waits till the end of his season in his tweet. If Barnett and his mother come to Knoxville next weekend all that could change, especially if some of the other recruits get to spend some time with them. No one knows what Simmons asked Barnett to get that answer, it could well have been a loaded question to get an answer he wanted.

That girl was gang raped and some people are making jokes about that. Then I see these actions being justified because you don't like vandy fans. They like a different college football team than you so in your warped mind it's acceptable to make jokes about that situation. That's not trash talking a rival. That's being a pathetic excuse for a man. You need to seriously reevaluate your life if college football allegiances play that big of a role in your judgement.

You're right, if it were UT players I'm sure Vandy would just take the high road and never mention it......

So you acting in a despicable way is justifiable because you SPECULATE vandy fans would do the same. Oh and the kicker, what does it matter what vandy fans would do? A girl got raped. I don't see how that is football related even if it was football players who were the rapists.
