All of the recruiting services are going to be creating misleading titles to lure people to buy memberships to their sites.

This one does that to some degree but the content did perk the eye brows

He said he was 100% committed "for now".

That for now part was awkward.

He also wouldnt reveal what schools were still in contact. It was certainly a little weird to say the least

Hate to admit it, but this time of year in recruiting is scary. I'm predicting we lose a few by attrition, but damn I sure hope it's neither of these two guys. Must's in this class imo.

I agree. Recruiting can be scary this time of year. We just need to have faith in Butch and Co.'s ability to hang on to these valuable recruits.

Things are so different now than under Dooley because Butch is recruiting the highly ranked players that our Rivals are recruiting. He is another stratosphere as far as that goes so there's always that risk Butch or any coach has to take in recruiting if they want to win in the SEC.

Where else was Barnett even looking at? Vandy?

 

[amazingGRACE]

Definitely not worried yet but hate hearing there's any concern. Especially with Barnett being so close to Gaulden, Vic & Malone.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

I don't like the latest news on Barnett and Lambert. We need those guys.

There's no news

I don't Recall but it was slightly awkward the way he didn't answer

Looking at whether he will live off campus or in a dorm at the University of Tennessee.

There was absolutely nothing worrisome in that video interview. He said he's 100% UT and he believes in CBJ. He said it's going to be fun being apart of a class with so many TN recruits. Nothing negative at all. Geez.

 

[JVol76]

Unfortunately we'll probably lose some guys but the fact that we are in it with so many speaks volumes of CBJ. I believe come signing day everything is going to be more than OK.

I'm so f-n tired of "just being in it" that's been UTs motto for the last 5 years. This program will never get back to greatness if it keeps losing out on big time players...

 

[LotteryPick]

? There isn't any news on Barnett. It was just a ploy by Scout to get some subscribers. In the article he says he is 100% commited.

Okay, my b. Didn't see the article, just saw the title.

Have you been in hibernation for the past year? We're not losing out on all of the big time players anymore.

What you said. Come Christmas it will have been a year since it all started

Another big mover in this area of the rankings is Brentwood (Tenn.) Brentwood Academy Derek Barnett, who moved up 68 spots to No. 167. "Barnett may end up sliding inside at the next level but for now he's dominating as a defensive end," Wommack said. "Early in his recruitment, many teams wanted Barnett as a tight end, and this season he's taken several snaps as a short-yardage back. His versatility clearly isn't an issue and he'll likely play from Day 1 at Tennessee, where his size and speed will pay early dividends."

So are we looking at him being more of a D-Tackle or End?

He has to play early.

Didn't you see the part where he has played some running back?

He'll get some time in the wildcat.

Interesting tidbit from 247 article.

“I’m not sure (whether I will visit any other schools). I don’t think so, though — maybe,” said Barnett.
