More Size and SPEED....
With Love, we continue to get the feel that this is nearly 50/50 before the official visits. Stanford will receive the first visit Jan. 16 followed by Tennessee on Jan. 23 and an official announcement is expected on Jan. 30.
Tennessee remains a comfortable place for the family with longtime family friend Tommy Thigpen having a relationship with Love's uncle since they played football together at North Carolina. But, Stanford remains in contention because of the academic prowess the school has combined with Love's idea of having a degree from one of the top universities in the country.
What's worth noting is that Tennessee has done a very good job on the recruiting trail with their academics with Dr. Joe Scogin in place as the director of the Thornton Center. Expect Scogin to give Love and his family a thorough presentation on what academic life at Tennessee can look like.
Expect to hear about a strong Tennessee presence in Wake Forest, N.C. early next week not only to see Love but also to see 2016 defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence and 2017 defensive lineman Xach Gill.
Paul says that Stanford is a real possibility here because he really takes academics seriously.
It will be down to how does TN sell that part of our University to him and how does the distance factor weigh in?
I like our chances especially since we get the OV after his to Stanford.
Academics are what you make of them. You can get just as good of an education at UT as you can at Stanford.
You just have to work for it
There is so much wrong in this post.We haven't had an increase in public ranking. While Jimmy Cheek has made an effort to make the top 25 in top public research institutes (that might not be the exact wording), Forbes doesn't even have us in the top 150. Cheek is a joke. There are so many instate kids who can't qualify after Cheek raised the ACT requirements. UT is supposed to be for the instate kids and Cheek has ruined that. I can't wait until that prick is no longer here.
