Good point, no one is a lock anymore till the ink is dry.

He is with Chandler at ga, Chandler says he is recruiting him hard to UGA.

Ill never get the pull Georgia has on any out of state player. They are the perennial also-rans. Yes they got some hot women but so does most of the SEC. Just don't see how they whoo any kids, even with the newness of Smart.

Why would Chandler say that if he isn't a UGA commit?

“I’m just looking forward to seeing what it has to offer me and if I do go to Georgia, what am I stepping into?," Chandler said. "Is it somewhere that I would fit in? Is it somewhere I will enjoy? Just things of that nature.”

Chandler expects to hear plenty from another top prospect in Tennessee, safety Jacoby Stevens (Murfreesboro, Tenn./Oakland), during his trip to Georgia.

“He’ll probably just be talking to me the whole time I’m there," Chandler said. "I’m pretty sure I’ll talk to him about the visit and how much he likes it.”

The feedback from his peers is a big reason why Chandler is intrigued by Georgia.-247

Sounds like he is talking up ga to Chandler.

Sounds like they'll just be talking. Doesn't say anything about recruiting him anywhere.

MURFREESBORO — JaCoby Stevens has listed Tennessee in his top seven since he released his first list in April.

However, the Oakland High rising senior football two-way standout and top-rated athlete in the country said he may have to look closer at the Vols after La Vergne rising senior Maleik Gray announced his commitment to Tennessee on Sunday.

"Maleik Gray committing to Tennessee — I just say congratulations to him," Stevens said Tuesday night at Oakland's satellite camp that features 18 colleges — including Tennessee — and about 80 college football coaches. "That's a big honor to commit to his in-state school.

"He committing plays a part. He's a big-time athlete. Saying he sees something in Tennessee says a lot. It makes me want to look at what Tennessee has to offer for me and what they have to offer for my future. When someone like Maleik Gray goes, you've got to look at it."

Stevens, a 6-foot-2, 200-pound safety and wide receiver for the Patriots, said particularly he'd like to go back and talk with defensive coordinator Bob Shoop as well as coach Butch Jones.

"(Tennessee) has been on me since my freshman year," said Stevens, whose first college offer was from the Vols. "Since it's getting close to when I will make a decision, they've turned (the recruitment) up a lot."

Stevens originally said he wanted to announce on July 19. However, he's since recanted that deadline. He said he does want to commit before the start of his senior year.

Stevens and Gray are close in position at the next level. Stevens will likely be a free safety or strong safety. Gray, who is a four-year starter at linebacker for the Wolverines, will likely be a nickel back in college.

Stevens' original list had Georgia as his No. 1 choice when he released his top seven schools in April. He followed that up with a different list that included Clemson, Georgia, Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, LSU and Florida State. That list was in no particular order.

He said Tuesday that he has no order of preference and no favorites at this time.

"You can list seven ones right there," said Stevens, who was visiting Alabama on Wednesday. "I just want to sit back and see what everybody has to offer. I want to make sure, I want to be right."

He added that isn't a sign that Georgia has slipped in order.

Stevens originally committed to LSU in September, but decommitted after coach Les Miles' job security came into question.

"I wouldn't say that was a mistake, but you could say I rushed into things," Stevens said. "Everybody knows that LSU is my dream school. My family is from Louisiana.

"I wanted to step back and just see what other schools had to offer."
