'17 TN ATH Maleik Gray (UT signee)

[sanddune50]

Gray will be headed to FSU.

Closetogray? or chickenlittlefan?

People never learn. All the same people who said with certainty that Smith was going to Ohio State are doing the same thing again. Even though they have absolutely zero info to base that on. It's funny really.

That is what trolls do.

Do we have another in home left? This kid could make or break this average class.

We do get a visit before FSU does, so still a chance Butch could get him to shut it down.

 

[OrangeHammer]

If he indeed went on record saying "I have a big decision to make" then IMO he isn't committed. This is why I couldn't want to be a college coach, kids verbally committing while still courting other schools has to be extremely frustrating.

Honor your commitment Maleik, or git awn down the road.

I thought we played LSU in Knoxville. If so, he will go to LSU next year when we play there.

But it would be ok for you to court other job openings though?

Personally I'd be pretty worried about losing Gray. If I was a betting man, this class isn't going to look all that great come Feb 2. Butch is no longer getting the guys who didn't grow up UT fans or have family ties.

You "would be pretty worried?" I'm not sure what that means. Does that mean you ARE worried? Or you think I should be worried? Because I'm not worried.

I hope that doesn't bother you.

If I were someone who put a lot of energy into how we recruited (this forum), I'd be pretty worried. Luckily for my sanity though, I no longer do.

May be in a bidding war with FSU... That didn't work out so well with Akers...

If the coaches don't honor commitments, tough to hold it against the kids deciding to look elsewhere. Hopefully Gray sticks.

Of course look who shows...your metadata is astounding.

We were 4th for Akers. Doubt we were in that war too much.

Hence the "that didn't work out so well" comment...

Based on what information? Let's hear it.

Read his thread. It's what he told the recruiting services.

Big difference competing for a guy that's currently committed to UT and a guy that never was committed here.

I read his thread.. Looks to me like it came from a VN poster. How many kids do you know puts out a ranking list after the fact?

This was the quote

Per Akers we were 4th on his final list.

 

[SobeVol]

We have to lock this young man down. He is too important to this class

It was. Hubbs said we were second.

Okay, thanks. I think I speak for most in this forum when I say I'll decide what I want to worry about without your help. But your concern touches me.
