It's funny, many of the same people upset that Coker just chose UK are the same ones who would have complained if he chose UT.

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

I'd be pissed if we offered the cousin just to get this kid.

Has the cousin offer thing even been substantiated?

Very true, but I liked him and this hurt.

 

[TNnative]

We miss on a 3 star cb, and everybody freaks out?

I really don't get you guys.

 

[top5vols]

If Akers goes elsewhere this place will be a dumpster fire.

Make a deal for Akers.

 

[Nashvegas31]

We still getting Akers and Ray? 😂😂

Not really the same thing. We actually have success at those positions and don't have a coach ready to leave and telling recruits he isn't coming back

 

[volsfan24017]

He should've been fired right after Vandy. It blows my mind that ours DB's aren't coached to turnaround and look for the ball.

How hard is it to teach defensive backs to look over their shoulder for the ball? Perhaps Butch should coach the DBs. He has practice looking over his.

Position of need too.

Lol. True

I agree but if the cousin thing is true, it is what it is.

People upset we are recruiting a lower level AND not landing? Crazy.

FWIW, would have been a good pick up. I also don't believe there was much to be done if cousin rumor is true.

 

[tonybologna]

I have to say I'm a bit shocked on this one. Putting Kentucky as his commitment in my recruit thread is gonna hurt a little. hmy: Thanks!

 

[Catbone]

Smh

Yep, but not me. I'm on record as wanting Corker over Wade, some sources even indicated Corker was higher on UTs CB board than Wade. Regardless, this one is disappointing. Will he keep his official to UT next month...

GO VOLS!!!

Callahan said he was told it was a package deal

If people were upset we're recruiting "a lower level" wouldn't that make them happy when he went elsewhere? OR is it just not possible to make some people happy unless you finish #1 in recruiting and win every single game you play?

No. No one else on our board that's as highly touted as Corker.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Isn't his cousin, who was offered by Kentucky, a 2018 prospect? If so, does he not realize that Kentucky can pull his cousin's scholarship as soon as he signs his papers?

 

[Orange And Garnet]

Because we aren't in on anyone better. We need CB's

Well we have to sign somebody right?

Sincere question Ron, do you not think we're recruiting at a lower level?

 

[Keyser Soze]

I made a post earlier about this. He's about to find out the hard way. He better ball out his first year of he wants that cousin thing to be honored!

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Well.. who do we go after now with an extra slot we thought was for Corker? Any lower rated CBs we were once looking at?

 

[KBVol]

Pulled his offer to make room for Stevens...

Thought Stevens has had "heavy interest in LSU forever" and therefore isn't coming to Tennessee.

In this class he wouldn't have been one of the "lower level" recruits. Plus, staff had made him a priority at a position of need. Would've been very happy to get him, especially after losing Nixon to SCar.
