'15 TN LB Brant Mitchell

“The Georgia game, that really stood out to me. The atmosphere of the Georgia game was awesome[.] I mean, I can remember one time I couldn’t even hear the person next to me talk. That really spoke a lot to me. The fan support of the team, it was awesome. Living in Tennessee pretty close to the campus, I’ve been to quite a few (games there). But that was probably one of the best I’ve been to.

“That shows one thing: (Tennessee coach) Butch Jones, I think he’s turning it around. Competing with Georgia, it shows me that they can compete with the rest of the SEC. That game right there shows a lot.”

“They’re still showing a lot of interest, and they’ll definitely be one of my top choices as the recruiting process goes on,” he said. “They say I’m still at the top of their list. They’re just letting me know that they’re still wanting me.”

“The atmosphere, that’s going to be a big part in making my decision, along with the academic part of the school,” he said. “That goes for all schools. It’s got to have a good academic atmosphere as well as a football atmosphere.”

Also in the article, he spoke about his experiences when he attended the UGA vs. Clemson game, as Clemson is one school he is considering. He does not have a Clemson offer, but he claims they are close to offering. He talked about his visits to Vandy and Duke as well. He wants to get to games at Ole Miss and Bama before the end of the season.

There seems to be a lot of updates in the TKjr about this guy. Can you guys who go to the games keep us updated here too on this young man. I really hope we land Brant, sounds like a future star. Man our LB core is gonna be nasty with the '14 and '15 class. Thanks for the updates guys
 
From watching him play. TK is good, extremely smart for a HS football player. Brant physically is just a monster. Built like a DE but had the speed to play LB. Personal opinion from seeing them in person this past week. Was more impressed with Brant.

I here this a lot about this kid and Webb. And they say there is another back that is as good as TK too but just doesn't get the carries.

He may not be done writing the story or hopefully POA's theory is correct and we add another brick to the 2015 class.

Get hits on the site later in the week? Teaser.
 
anything good in it?

Talked about the recruiting from UT and Duke. He never mentioned Vandy. Said Butch is a real down to earth guy, very personable, "and Butch is all about that family atmosphere" which Brant really enjoyed. Said Butch was a good coach. Talked a little about Cutcliffe. Just said Duke is a good program and Cut is a great coach. No rush for a decision.

IMO, UT is the outright #1 here. Everybody else is a distant 2nd.
