Former Vol Janzen Jackson??

 

[mr.checkerboards]

David Pollack said Bama on ESPNU. Of course he doesn't know jack, but I'm not getting my hopes up until I see him pick up that orange hat.

Pollack wouldn't pick Tennessee if tn was playing tn

 

[Vol4ever]

When is the announcement

 

[volfannbama]

Acceptance of an L

No, acceptence of something I didnt know.

Why does he hate us so bad . Did someone on the team mess with his girlfriend ?

 

[rtb1983]

The suspense is maddening.

"He never graduates"

 

[JacketVol]

sorry trolls got me on edge

my concern is that Urban has not dropped where he is going or said something bad about him because his staff loves ruining a kids moment when it is is not OSU

 

[volfannbama]

if you dont know who trey teague is then you need to stop posting and do some history on the vols and then come back. homegrown, peyton was in jackson at trey's wedding im pretty sure.

I didnt ask who he was, I asked what his connection was to Smith.

 

[FleeceItOut]

Heard from another recruiting forum or from the actual player?

I was just messing around man

 

[Dust10]

IMO, Trey didn't tell the staffs yet because he's likely not picking OSU and Urban has a history of leaking it when he loses. Vol.

Bingo.

 

[Baulder]

"I know nothing about this recruitment but he's going to Alabama" Thanks for the insite Pollack.

 

[drvenner]

Those things offer no more proof than simply saying "I want to believe he is choosing us". The kid grew up an Alabama fan, which counters pretty much everything on your list. My brother has done a lot of things, but that doesn't mean I'm doing them. Some people just want to believe so strongly that they abandon reality and assign talking points that support their believe, and not talking points that support what is actually likely to happen.

This kid may very well choose UT but I'm betting it's not because of any of those things you listed. It's going to be based on which program gets him to the NFL the fastest and with the most positive exposure (like not being constantly embarrassed).

Different players choose different schools for different reasons. What it comes down to a lot of times, is where they feel most comfortable. Which place feels most like home. The NFL factor should not be ignored, but a lot of these kids think that they're good enough to make the league without going to Bama or some other high level program. My point is that you have absolutely no freakin' idea what is motivating him to make his choice any more than anybody else does. I personally think it is more likely that he wants to be near his sister who helped raise him, but maybe that's just me.

 

[ReBellVol]

Do we have a link for his announcement?

 

[Lainon]

I hope after he picks Tennessee we get some other big fish rolling in not too soon after

Not on the same level, but OLB Shanon Reid is committing tomorrow.

 

[zeppelin128]

Pollack is a douche canoe. That is all.

 

[OddFuture]

Do we have a link for his announcement?

It's on EPSNU on your tv or phone/iPad/gaming console/etc

Isnt there a joke about that??

"A Priest, Irishman, and Pollack walk into a bar...."

 

[volfannbama]

Apologies if you read my post as confirmation.

I don't know anything here outside that some Moran in bama-land thinks he's going elsewhere

Whats a Moran? Is that the same as moron? You figure if you were going to call someone a name indicating they are stupid, you would at least be able to spell it.

 

[drvenner]

Uhhh... Ooooo kaaaayyyyy. I mean that's how I make every professional decision in my life. I check what my siblings are doing. Butch is a great recruiter but Alabama and Ohio State crush our recruiting. Also, all those kids that grew up in Michigan that played for OSU and all those kids that grew up in Ohio that played for Michigan must have missed your recruiting playbook of facts.

The fact that you believe that all players would approach their recruitment in the same way that you would simply illustrates how narrow-minded you are.

F5...f5...f5...

"A Priest, Irishman, and Pollack walk into a bar...."

A dumbarse, a loser, and a moran* walk into an Athens bar. The bartender says, "Welcome back, David Pollack!"

 

[CoaxialOrange]

So probably 430?

You ain't from these parts are you?
