'17 TN ATH Maleik Gray (UT signee)

Looks like it's going to be a battle to keep Gray from flipping to FSU. He is taking an official visit there next month. A lot of rumblings about FSU's efforts to flip him.

He sure has been all Vol on twitter, even trying to recruit Cam. Doubt he flips
 
Obviously those recruiting sites will say anything to get clicks, but I also see that players are going to take advantage of using their officials, and a lot of times it's just a showing of appreciation to other programs that recruited them hard and offered. Heck if I was a highly touted recruit I'd take those free trips too. Gray was one of our earlier commits and has remained solid to us. The decision we make with Martinez may have some influence, but I'd be shocked if he flipped.

Florida in January? Pretty much beats most everywhere else.

Me too. He knows he will have a very good opportunity to play early and be standout in his home State. I also think he like Shoop and wants to play for him.

Hasn't he always said he would take his officials with FSU being one of them? I thought i saw that somewhere could be wrong
 
One of two things need to happen by Butch here, right now, Gray is giving FSU the last visit. He is set to OV TN 1/13 and FSU after that. Either Butch needs to get him to campus and convince him to cancel the FSU OV (might be the plan) or Butch needs to ask Gray for the last OV (which he should readily agree to since he is a Commit). If he makes the FSU trip after OV to Tn, that speaks volumes and will give Tn little time to flip/offer someone else. Jmho

Isn't 1/13 the weekend every other commit will be in Knoxville?

In my opinion, CBJ needs to do everything he can to keep Gray. He can play either LB or in the secondary for us where we have immediate needs.

He's played some RB & WR in high school but this kid is a hitter & he could easily come in & contribute at LB or S for us. Thanks!
 
In chat on VQ just now...

Maybe it's just me, but being the sledge hammer guy in an orchestra seems like about the most least appealing position.

He needs a beard and some Duluth Trading Company pants and a flannel shirt IMO. Would be much more appropriate for his actions.
