'16 FL CB Tyler Byrd (UT Commit 2/2/16)

[BurninOrange]

What the feeling here rivals guys don't think we made enough ground

Mike is really partial toward Notre Dame and Oh St.as already been said. We have made up plenty of ground. I would say what he told the coaches on his visit about committing to them he is going to honor it.

 

[triad280]

he tweeted about 30 minutes ago that he would have a decision made by tomorrow

 

[Brillovol]

Well, more waiting.

Edit: not waiting as long as I thought.

 

[smokey90]

You really believed OCI?

I just read it for what it is worth. I didn't bet the farm. But no news....?

 

[volatil]

he tweeted about 30 minutes ago that he would have a decision made by tomorrow

And then let the world know Wednesday, right?

 

[etcolton]

Said he will make a decision by tomorrow. Admitted he has to figure things out. 50/50 shot imo

 

[QuickSmurf]

I think whether or not Byrd flips will tell us if our coaching staff knows more than everybody else or if they are in the dark. If Byrd stays in Miami, it may be a bad omen for signing day. It could be the kind of signing day where Nigel Warrior goes to Auburn, and some of our own commitments flip.

Wow, okay, I think that's a little over the top

Lol

I guess,I'm not going to bother the kid like the other people tweeting him. I just looked at his twitter feed after the UM board said he retweeted a UT pic edit & saw that tidbit

 

[landscapingvol]

justin coleman agrees.

Justin Coleman was a very good tackler. He just got lost in coverages sometimes. Malik whiffs on tackles more than he makes them and that will be a major liability against physical NFL receivers imho

Not sure if already posted or anyone else saw this, but Devante Brooks posted a video on Periscope where most of the players and recruits were on the field at Neyland. Byrd is walking past and Brooks asked, "Ty, you going to commit?"

Byrd puts his index finger over his mouth and says, "Shhhh"

Vol, IMO

 

[Arnvol]

Is it Wednesday yet???

Id say 60 40 us. I think playing with carlin will be the factor that sends him our way.

I could see that.

 

[montanatenn]

Just speculating, but I think we know one way or the other by Weds. night at the latest.

Don't discount the Larry Scott relationship either. Coach Scott has known this kid along time and has a great relationship with him.

Post of the year, no?

Shut it down guys. We're all hillbillies who date our cousins and Miami is a championship destination while we're trending down. He'll go to Miami. Trust me. I read it on the Miami boards so it must be true.


Seriously, I get the annoyance at trolls and anger at fan bases in situations like this, but it's impossible to find any information on their boards either because 90% of their Tyler Byrd threads are used to bash us, the team, school, state, people, Knoxville, etc. and to essentially sit there and proverbially pat each other on the back. They take what some posters on here do to a whole new level.

I agree that cant hurt. It seems like the kid has alot of love for miami but he realizes tenn may be the best place for him.

Under the bottom, imo.

Scott has probably known this kid since middle school and recruited him at UM.

 

[montanatenn]

More speculation. If he signs with UM, he's over rated and we did not want. If he signs with us he should be a high 5*.

 

[WilliamDuVOL]

Twitter Miami people saying he is not returning Miami writers calls which is coming from shodell or I guess furman. Not sure if true obviously

Latest actual update from their board.

 

[VolFootballIsLife]

I don't know about this rotating your best CB out. Maybe they'll be groomed to replace the starters next year. If Justin Martin has a good year he's gone along with Sutton and Foreman. To tell the truth I see Osborne and Byrd getting late game action and involved heavily on ST units. We've got experienced talent and don't need these guys to make an impact honestly.

Yep...Id been saying it would just be nice to see Byrd and Osborne get reps like TK and E. Berry got behind McNeil and Randolph.

 

[montanatenn]

Post of the year, no?

If one person on here thinks it is so, then it is so. Your' recognition speaks volumes. You can only get ONE post of the year. I should retire. At least till Thursday.
