The cleaner from Blacklist came and cleaned me up. Have no clue what was said after my post. But came back to add that it would need to be shifted to the political forum but all gone now. I do think it was a pretty good post however. By the way, just don't have the feels for this guy even though it could make him and us great.

"I love Tennessee," Hardman said. "Coach Jones - they are doing great - what they did this year is a real turnaround. You can see Tennessee is on the rise, they just need some more playmakers on the field. You have got to think, everybody playing in the playoffs now, they were up on them or right in the game with them. They just could not finish the game out. That says a lot for the team. I think there are good things to come for them and I think they will have a great 3-4 years with Butch Jones there."
As it stands, Hardman feels there are no questions that need to be answered for him during his next trip to Knoxville.

"I do not need to see anything," Hardman said. "I have seen it all. I just want to get back up there, bond with the coaches and players and get another good feeling for them and just have fun."-247

Personally, I think we close very strong and finish with a consensus top 10 class. I think OU and Bama will play for the title (both teams we had 4th quarter leads against) and this will bolster how close UT is to being a title contender, we blow the doors of NW and get a top 15 win to further build momentum, and CBJ, et al., has closed well every year. I think Hardman and Brown will be the two guys to take this class over the top. If we add a dynamic slot like Hardman and hold on to Kongbo, we have every reason to expect a team that competes for a playoff spot in '16.

And if we get neither Hardman and Brown and also lose Sutton and JRM to the League then what say you?

I think we will still be a very good team. I'm not sure we are a playoff caliber team though. I'm expecting Sutton to leave but not JRM. Without Sutton, I think Martin will be our best CB. I think Gaulden will be the NB and good. And I think there will be a good battle between Moseley, Abernathy, etc., for the other CB spot. All in all, we need a few breaks--like all other elite teams--to be a playoff team. If JRM leaves, it will hurt but I think McDowell or Bates will be ready and adequate replacements.

Considering neither one would probably play a meaningful role next year regardless of what JRM and Sutton do, it will have little impact on the team next year.

His response seems like he's not coming to UT.

How in the world anyone could read those statements and arrive at this conclusion is beyond me.

I guess where Mecole mentioned that he's already seen it all and he just wants to bond with the players & coaches. Maybe he's going to Georgia all along and just wants to go visit Tennessee just for the heck of it. It also go either way so who knows what he meant by those quotes.

he's seen it all, and, still upset that all Georgia's coaches were fired, whilst wearing a Georgia uni. He's coming back to 'get to know the coaches and bond' however he 'knows everything about us'.

half of recruiting is relationships. thats our in here. at this pt he feels he still needs tobond with coaches. gree up a dawg fan, always was a dawg. that's too tough a hill to climb, even for Butch.

Still don't see it. Who knows where this guy goes, but that particular piece seems nothing but positive to me.

to put a positive spin on this, Butch would reach elite status if we were to land Hardman. to evenbe in it this late with his obvious love for Georgia is big. getting an OV in January from a GA kid is bigtime.

This kid has been and is playing the game. He either is really all dawg which it seems or he is a Vol and to keep the heat off, he is waiting. OV states he was dogs to lose so I can't get away from that. But, if he was playing the game which it seems, then that could be what he is putting out and that is why OV feels this way. Either way, he is playing it very well to keep himself in the spotlight.

Of course he going to visit UGA multiple times. It's close by and not much to do in Elbert County now that schools out and football season done.

Kid's enjoying the attention and process. UT is right up there with UGA til the end.

Check back in on signing day.

Until OV gives me some hope, I'm not counting on this, but at least I'm staying interested.

Come on man, put on your orange glasses. Obviously OV is saying what Mecole wants him to because he wants to throw us off and to keep the local heat off until he signs with us. Right??

What I meant was that if he is keeping it close to the vest then a coach in the area could be hearing it is Georgia. I don't think that is what is happening but is one possibility. Maybe he had not fully decided but if he did right now, he might be a pup but who knows with all of the coaching changes. The fact that Pruitt is at Bama and most thought that was the big pull including OV. However, seems a UT vs Georgia race. So, it was always Georgia or it was never Pruitt. OV was hearing Pruitt was what was really pulling him. This kid is going to Georgia I think but the fact that Johnson was only offered a blue shirt makes me think with the staff wanting JJ at safety if possible that we are still in the thick with several wideouts including Mecole.

I was just joking with Brillo, used to work with him. I dnt know how likely it is that he is purposely putting out misinformation to keep the local heat off but i like it so that's what I'm gonna roll with 😁

Ha! Sniffed you out.

Who knows here? Might sign with UGA. Might sign with us. At least we have a chance, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
