I had a cousin who went one a couple recruiting visits nothing major, mtsu, wake Forrest, couple other schools can't really remember. I remember every time he came home he sai that was his favorite visit and that was his new number 1. The point I'm making is these are 17 yr old kids, not that hard to impress. Or at least I wasent when I was that age.

When does Settle announce? The more time between now and then, the less significant this Clemson nonsense.

Settle is supposed to be at Clemson next weekend. I wonder if that could be part of it. Cant imagine dealing with the are we number 1 now, are we number 1 now from fans and stuff. So go into the trip that way. Lets see if he makes it back in for our big recruiting weekend in a few weeks.

This is honestly pretty disheartening. I know Jones has named us his leader now, but I'd rather have high school guys at this point. JUCO is great and all and if Jones wants to come to Tennessee, bring it on, Bubba! I'll be happy to have you! But, I feel like we need more guys with multiple years in the system and time to develop than one year starters who blow up then declare for the draft in December. I really was feeling like Settle, McKenzie, and Jones was entirely possible, but whenever we get bumped from a leader position it feels like we just can't close the distance again. Oh well, bring on Mr. Jones!

Someone hasn't been paying attention to our depth chart. We need a juco DT.

Read on another board that Settle visited UT this weekend, and then named Clemson his leader. If this is true, that's a very curious move. I wonder what happened. Wonder if he has academic issues or something. Again, not sure if true, just read it

We need two out of Jones, Settle, and Tuttle for me to be satisfied.

You did this to me Butch.



P.s. Mckenzie is already a vol.

Interesting to know what happened. I have a feeling that Butch doesn't just "give up" the number 1 spot for a kid.

I wonder if Tim just decided that with Shy, Kahlil, and D.J. Jones high on UT, he didn't want the competition, or if maybe there were academic issues....it is the end of the semester....so it may be that the coaches realized that there would be no way his GPA would be what it needed to be (if that were the case).

Don't know. Would love to have the kid. But....odd that he suddenly put Clemson in the drivers seat.

Or Clemson was always #1 and he was just having fun on twitter? It's recruiting. Much the same way coaches tell multiple kids at the same position that they are #1 to them, I have no doubt we will see more and more kids claiming schools are #1 when it's just for the fans and twitter.

I used to think that, but I believe Settle's interest is genuine. Clemson will be incredibly hard to beat out in the end but this is a two horse race.

Or he could be claiming Clemson is #1 for the Clemson fans on Twitter. OR he is an undecided, highly rated and highly touted DT prospect who has some great choices.

Anything is possible.

History tends to show that when your a top DT recruit and your offer list is the who's who of college football, rarely do more than a couple choose the same school.

If you're saying we get Mckenzie and 1 out of 3 between Jones, Settle, and Tuttle, I actually agree with that. I think we get 2 out of those 4 and possibly another DT down the line if things fall into place for it.

I think either TW or HG warned us about Clemson being the threat and not their school. I think it was TW

At first when I saw this I thought ah crap...

But things seem to be heating up with Tuttle and Jones so this may be intentional.

(Insert Butch Gets It)

That is what I am saying. IMO it looks now to be McKenzie and Jones and I would be very happy with that.

Damn Clemson is going to have such a sick class. They are losing their whole DL after this year. If they pull Ray-Ray McCloud, UF gonna cry.

Huggins, DJ Jones, and Settle.... No way they get all three. Plus Sterling Johnson is already on board.
