Fact is that Mitchell did choose GaTech over UT. Your guess is flat out wrong. His offer from UT was solid.

Nathan was scheduled to participate in UT's camp (the same one that Joc Bruce was offered at) the weekend after he verballed to GaTech. He may or may not have been offered by UT at that camp - we'll never know - but he did decline the invitation extended by UT when he made his commitment firm to UT. Obviously UT was still interested if he was extended the opportunity to attend that camp.

Thanks for proving my point, by the way.

Lol, proving what point exactly? That you are making a lot of baseless assumptions? The offer to Brant wasn't commitable

Doubt it. Kids get offers all the time. Duke Shelley had a "solid offer" and when he committed, it showed how solid his offer was. We have a Mike backer commit already

Good luck to Brant though. Quite defensive today eh mate?

No. Proving my point that some UT fans can't understand that UT isn't the place that fits every prospect. There are a lot of solid football programs at great institutions out there. Sometimes they are just better fits for student/athletes than is UT.

OK - on Mitchell - he was offered by Jones and his staff and his academics are rock solid. Using what rational and reasonable argument would his offer not be legitimate?

My dad, grandad, and great grandad all went to GT. Hell of a school, hell of an education, hell of an experience. However, by no means are they a superior football school.

Think that cat is related. He's just defensive right now.

Think you would be wrong. Not related to either Cottrell or Mitchell.

Not being defensive at all. Also not looking through the same orange colored glasses that some in this thread are.

Love UT, but it's not the only good option out there.

He couldn't commit to the offer if he wanted to. He would have received the Duke Shelly treatment. It's all about timing and he missed the boat.

They were 3 stars with alright offer lists. Sutton had a much better offer list than Randolph though. Both were severely under rated though, so I guess it's however you define diamond in the rough.

Nick Saban personally drove to my high school to recruit Randolph himself. I couldn't tell you how many times I saw that little dwarf at my school, and Randolph was only a sophomore at the time. He had coaches from everywhere personally trying to get him

Mitchell would be committed to the Tennessee Volunteers if it was commitable

While I don't have anything to back it up, I agree with this. IF Brant's offer was committable, he would have already long been a Vol. He gave it quite a bit of time hoping it would become committable IMO. When he realized it was not happening, he chose GT. Hope the kid does really well there.

Well over 200 offers out in this class. Not all of them are committable. Mitchell's position was filled, so therefore there was no room for him... therefore his offer was not committable. Its easy math.

Still waiting on that one, but I don't think you are going to be able to provide anything to back your argument, because you apparently don't have one.

What are your reasonable and rational factors that prove his offer was actually commitable? I'm still waiting on them...and don't say because the coaches "offered", then it must be commitable. If that was the case then we would probably have 40-50 commits, and LV's head would have already exploded thinking about how the numbers will work out.

When gfw says something, it's usually spot on. Kid picked GT when he knew he wouldn't be one of the 24 this year. It's really easy to get. Last year, we take him. This year we don't. An offer isn't always a true offer

I like the numbers. The number of offers(about 290) that UTs coaches have extended in 2015 clearly points to all offers CAN NOT be committable. 290 offers. 20-25 possible spots. Obviously a lot of those "offers" are worthless and in no way an offer for anything.

Offers aren't worthless. Recruiting services base some of their rankings of the recruits on who else has offered. More offers=higher rank.

Also, an UT offer may help some of those in state kids who realistically aren't going to UT get offers from other programs that wouldn't offer otherwise. Helps these kids.
