After watching our 3 stars films I am completely done with recruiting sites and their rankings. I don't get what they see, either they are better at evaluating or its politics or they are just guessing along with everyone else.

I'm leaning toward the latter.

"Can't believe this kid chose the lowly Vols over the mighty Hilltoppers. Makes no sense to me. Thanks!"

"I wasn't sure what I was doing," Jordan said. "We were in the airport for a long time and we sat down and Tennessee came out on top. They just made the most sense for all of us and what I'm looking for." "I feel like Tennessee is home," Jordan said. "I can get better there and they are going to push me to be better as a player and as a man while I'm there."

"Tennessee is a high level of football," Jordan said. "They are a football school and I want to be around people that make football important."

Jordan was hosted by fellow running back John Kelly. The two bonded quickly and the veteran Kelly made sure Jordan knew they needed help in the backfield. "The players I was around just made it feel like they were going to help me," Jordan said. "I think that says a lot when he is also plays my position and he was pushing me. He said he will be there to help me and I'm ready to go out there and tear it up."

He'll have the chance to get coached up by running backs coach Robert Gillespie. He likes the demeanor that the charismatic Gillespie brings to the table. "I like his personality and how he does things," Jordan said. "He is going to tell you how he feels and he isn't going to sugar coat things. I've see some videos of how he coaches and I like how the intensity of him. I can just feel it."

Seems like he already knows how to run the football, don't see much of a difference between him and the other two, one committed to Auburn the other headed to LSU.

For the third back in the class, this kid is a steal IMO.

Man, I was hoping we'd get Barrett or Etienne. Oh well, hopefully CRG gets him coached up.

Etienne was waiting until NSD to give his pledge and the staff wasn't willing to wait that long. It was a 1st verbal, 1st Scholly type deal. Jordan stepped up, and the slot is his.

This class is especially strange imo. We look at our players who are lowly ranked and other teams are coming hard after them. Norte Dame tried to get Bailey, LSU game after Labruzza hard, GA tried to get Shamburger and Page. SC and other schools are trying to steal Calbert away. Florida tried to get in late with reid, Ole Miss is trying to get Murphy, and I don't know who it was who was after Bennett. If these guys really are mediocre players and 3 stars, why are big name programs coming after them? Ga is basically getting whoever it wants right now, and yet they're after the Shamburglar. Seems to me that at least some of these guys are underrated very underrated.
