'14 TN DE/TE Derek Barnett (UT Signee 2/5/14)

[TMatthews19]

Obviously I'd love to get DB, but if he doesn't pull the trigger soon he'll likely be left out.

No.

 

[CobbVol]

HC Jones and Brent seemed to be on a 24hr news cycle. That allows each verbal to have their day in the sun. If anymore new commits, it will be tomorrow afternoon.

 

[Ron Swanson]

More commitments today?

"There's some buzz about Barnett, but I don't know that he'll do anything today. I think he's one to watch closely over the next several days.

After that, I'm not sure. We'll be catching up with guys once they begin to leave later this evening."

If I am a recruit and thinking I am going to choose the Vols in the next few days, I am doing it during "Foundation Week". JMO

Yes, I am being greedy and want them all TODAY.

 

[RockyTop85]

I think they seem to like doing it one at a time.

Committing on the same day as a future teammate means you both have to share the spotlight for the day.

May be a matter of etiquette this early on.

I like it when the info I get lines up with everything that is happening. Buzz is picking up really quick that their could be one more today. I keep hearing Barnett. He is a slient anyway but would like for him to go public

When other schools have mass commitments on the same visit it sometimes falls apart like was that Clemson or FSU last year? I don't think this will happen with this team. The recruits sometimes need time to do the responsible thing and think everything through for a couple of days.

Good luck to all of our visitors today.

He's been on campus for like 4 days now

*Facepalm* at these last two pages.

OH reports what DB says to him.

Zero issues there.

People then attack OH.

Volnation melts down.

People say he is about to commit.

Volnation Booms.

The Reality....

DB likely told OH this. He may or may not have been being serious, he is a 17 year old kid.

Regardless of what DB told OH has no impact on his recruitment and one statement to someone he doesnt know is not binding in any way.

DB is gonna continue on his recruitment just like DB planned to before said encounter with OH.

Take each piece of information for what it is and just let it play out.

This is recruiting, let there be hills and valleys, but not Mountains and Canyons like Volnation likes to go with.

This 100% Some on here are just poised to attach anyone about anything when they can. It seems to make them feel good. Perhaps they have inferior lives and Volnation is all they got.

OH please bring what you here. You never said you were the god of recruiting but know this.........you bring any info, some on here will have joy to just pound on you. Keep bringing it like OCI has. Ignore the few who love to constantly attack. It is not just you they target.

:hi: :good!:

 

[JacketVol]

If barnett would have told the creepy question guy: "gtfoh" (like a lot of us would have as an 18 yr old to a creepy guy), that dude would have come back here and said "he's a prick"

Lol makes me appreciate Barnett's tact

Perhaps OH is a college student himself. Makes more sense to me.

 

[CWGvol]

Im amazed at some of you all. When I bring good news I get liked.. if its against the grain then Im a creepy old guy? Maybe my friend just moved back from Colorado and is finishing up his last year.. happens to live in Crowne. I am a little creepy tho.. .

Pay no attention to that, they're just joking anyway I hope. Thx for what u bring!

 

[Jackcrevol]

this class has too many legacies to fall apart

what amazes me so much aboit this class vs others is the potential character and intangibles. these kids committed to butch and the u of t.

this aint lane kiffies kids. i dont see us having the atreition issues with this rec class weve had with prev top rec classes

 

[vol2002]

I agree. I'm 100% convinced this class will get us back into the national title discussion before their time is up.

 

[gobraves101035]

I'm just ready for the days of many ass kickings uga,bama, and florida have coming to them

You should really just quit, bud. You've been calling him to commit every day since Friday. Your "info" must be getting passed to you on Charmin.

 

[Ericvol2096]

Feel very confident he will be a Vol within the next 2 weeks.

 

[sjt18]

You have suggested he might end up at DT. Any reason for that?

 

[butchna]

Because he's fast at DE..Usain Boltish at DT

I'm pretty sure if he doesn't pick the Vols, he will go somewhere else. Now, I consider myself an insider.......

So if he decides to give up football altogether and starts selling candles on ebay out his house, do you lose that status?

 

[WesternKyVol]

I agree. I'm 100% convinced this class will get us back into the national title discussion before their time is up.

Call your local bookee and win big then.

 

[OldVol49vfl]

If things goes according to the pattern of the past week Barnett will commit on Monday. This will just be a one day extension of Foundation Week and it will give Derek his own day to celebrate his commitment. JMO

You have no idea. Say what you will. Kids do crazy things sometimes. Look no one is perfect and sometimes the info is wrong. He is already a Vol and just because he didnt go public does not mean anything. Just wait and see..

 

[TNHopeful505]

I think he was messin with Hammer. I mean, this guy now has no reason not to choose us. We're the only school he's really high on. He's a Vol.

Stop with this crap.
