Why does everyone seem optimistic here? it doesn't seem like we have talked with him in months and he def hadn't visited in a long time

Because with Butch all things are possible. If you have a faith the size of Vandy's average star rating you can say "Butch, sign this recruit" and it will happen.

While I don't think they need to take another RB this class, seeing Ole Miss squirm would probably make it alright. Who knows, maybe when Drew called Butch to see if there was a spot for him, he asked about 2.

 

[Montrell Hardy]

I don't think the staff has had contact with him in over 6 months. Not happening.

Bump for fun... I guess Von does have a Natty now, but this is still good stuff

Vicious, terrifying ......and beautiful all at once. Never. Gets. Old.

Reaaaaaaaal long shot.

IMO just fans keeping things interesting. Very possible Drew is it on NSD for 2015. And to be honest, he's already a Vol so there may be no surprises except for any 2016 commits.

No doubt its a pipedream. However, if you're Swinney and your class is falling apart, how do you feel?

I would feel stupid for not jumping on that big orange pain train earlier.

Like I missed the boat to Knoxville.

I'd for sure be trying to find out if there is one more ticket on the train/ship.

Richmond and Tega to close IMO. If we miss on either of those we'll have two kids that were blueshirts actually count towards this class.

He plays early and often at Ole Miss with chance to maybe even start. At TN he is 3rd string at best to start off

 

[JacketVol]

Others on the board were ahead of him and he realized that and moved on.

Silly season.

 

[DaddyChad]

If Bussey was truly asked to blueshirt or greyshirt I don't see us adding another RB. I think only someone truly elite will be added at this point.

Either that, or Paulk is coming back

 

[DaddyChad]

99.9% sure that Paulk will never play for Tennessee again.

Bussey could never have Blueshirted since he took an OV and we visited with him in New Orleans. Any of these other guys could theoretically blueshirt IF they met the criteria and never took an OV and just show up in August and join the team

 

[jhen713]

Can't the player contact a coach during a quiet/dead period? Is it possible he called to check out the situation after Bussey decommitted?

Tell that to Bussey and Hubbs who have said the complete opposite of you...

They said gray shirt I believe, which anyone is eligible for that.

Yes and yes

Bussey was given the opportunity to Grey Shirt, not blueshirt. He would have had to wait until Jan 2016 to enroll

 

[bignewt]

I think Bussey's injury doomed him unfortunately.

 

[Ertel]

Pretty surprised my bold prediction started this much discussion
