'17 TN OL/DT Trey Smith (UT commit 12/6/2016)

[VolsnCards5]

Where did VFL34 say this? Recently?

That's what I'm wondering.

I think a couple of comments were merged here from FF

Maybe you should get your head out of the sand and realize that many football players are paid money. Just look at the history of Alabama Miami, Auburn, USC etc. Ga paid a mother of a running back in Ga $10,000 in cash way back in the 1980s and he signed with South Carolina . Players were getting "benefits" when I was in college in 1956 and it has continued through today. You know who doesn't think they get "benefits? Those who are uneducated about collage football and how things work. You may be at the head of that list. Last year, a freshman at Miami was driving a new Lamborghini. I guess he bought it by mowing lawns on weekends.

Has it happened? You bet. Does it happen all the time? Only at the school the recruit you want goes to instead. It's just sour grapes and shows a lack of dignity crying about rumors.

Always follow the visits...

"Smith will have the full support of his father if he does head to Ole Miss.

"I tell Trey that that type of thing can happen anywhere," said Smith's father Henry. "The important thing is how your relationship is with the coaches and with the school."

Clearly his relationships there are in good shape. Rumors at The Opening are that Ole Miss is the team to beat for Smith"-247 Simmons

Yeah and...I said it has happened but until there is real evidence, take the high road for once.

Love he is recruiting! Go Vols!!

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Will be between us and Bama

You could be right.

But I'm thinking it'll be between UT & Ole Miss.

Ole Miss bc the travel distance would be shorter for family members.

But in the end, he'll come to the Big Orange side.

Cue the Richmond/McKenzie/Freeze/Jones gif.

Why would any recruit sign with Ole Miss after all the NCAA recruiting violations that they committed? It's a shame that nothing will ever happen to them considering they're proven cheaters.

I thought those comments from him were a long time ago. I'm more interested in what he thinks now.

He didn't say for sure they did just a rumor he was hearing at Opening

You answered your own question

Sour grapes, no way. Just the way it has worked for years. Some are so naive.

You assume the NCAA has a hammer. It doesn't.

Hypothetical: If UT could only sign either Trey Smith or Cade Mays, who would you pick?

Cade Mays wants to be a Vol above all else, so I'm going Cade.

I don't know what Trey wants, but if he also desires to be a Vol then sign him up.
