There's too much distance between Tennessee and Oregon to worry about that. Most parents can't afford to fly to Oregon on Saturday from here to watch their kid play. Don't see them as a recruiting threat at all.

Under Fulmer, we regularly pulled kids from CA. Some parents encourage their kids to fly from the nest. Oregon is an attractive program with lots of money. I think they could easily become a recruiting threat if they make a habit of recruiting TN kids. I think you're underestimating their appeal.

What color would they buy for Oregon? They've used about 239 different colors on their uniforms in the past couple of years. They need to change their name from Ducks to Circus Clowns. JMO
Best of luck to Ugo too.

Clausens and Foster. Foster's dad transfered to Brentwood, Tn. to be close. Clausen family and Ainge (Oregon)family aren't hurting for money.

Oregon's roster this year has 10 kids from the SE. They also have several Texas kids. I won't argue back and forth, but their in the NC picture quite often and they're backed by the CEO of Nike. Would it be my school of choice? No, but I certainly understand the appeal it has. They have the ability to chase any recruit they want. When you have Nike money backing you, money is not an obstacle.

I wasn't arguing. They are definitely appealing to kids. I just think distance plays a role.

And there have been more Vols from the West Coast. Kevin Burnett was a CA kid. I believe Donte Stallworth was a CA kid. Wasn't Mahelona from the West Coast? And JT Mapu? And it seems like there we a couple of OL that came from the West Coast. Fulmer worked the West Coast with regularity.

He screwed himself out of not being a Vol. Wasn't getting a second chance. Good luck to him

He didnt screw himself, Butch slow played him he slow played Butch back and ended up on the loosing side. He is a pretty good kid and a great athlete. It was all in the game of recruiting.

However, I think due to his size Oregon is a great fit for him better than LSU and UT.

I have no enmity towards Ugo. I wish him the best. Maybe it is best that he get away from home. He is talented, if Oregon and LSU want him. He is going to a great program and we will likely be able to see how he does because Oregon will be on TV a great deal.

This recruitment makes me think of a "when keeping it real goes wrong" clip.

I'm keeping it real and committing with my homie in the dirty dirty

(uhhh the dirty dirty just did you dirty; they just lost their DC and your homie committed in state)

...awww chit...

well I'm keeping it real and moving 1000's of miles away then

They're losing just four DB's to graduation, a young secondary w/ four SR's, three JR's and eight So's to be plus 4 (2 S & 2 CB's) in '15's class. Crowded

Good luck to him.

Beast. Never able to realize his true potential. Suffered a severe knee injury during the US Army All-Star gm and was oft-injured during his days at Tennessee and still played @ the next level.

De La Salle is one of the countries premiere programs. Though only there a short time hope Mac's signing will (re) open that connection.

That is a not so bright arugument. Reality is not many recruits want to go that far away from home, money for the parents is an issue, and they don't recruit the se a ton. I doubt they are marking tn as their destination state in the south in terms of recruiting hot bed. We have had a rise in top level talent but let's not kidd ourselves by saying that schools to the far west have marked us top priority. Plus butch take care of it.
