'18 CA CB Olaijah Griffin (USC signee)

I hope we end up with Griffin. His final four is Alabama, USC, Oregon, and us. He was high on us after his visit, but it seems like the more he has visited the more that has worn off. We went from being his leader by a lot to now we are even with USC and Oregon.
 
Someone brought up Shevul. That’s my Tennessee favorite.

Living in west Tennessee growing up I lived near Fanger, that’s just south of Sweet Lips.

I kind of thought this might happen. He was committed to UCLA for so long that he never really got to experience the full recruitment process and is now falling in love with a bunch of places.
 
too many USC recruitments in years past. Patrick turner, etc. USC gets who they want. Kids are fascinated by UT, even tell Hubb's and Co. what they want to hear. then the fad rolls in for USC.
 
"alabama was good," griffin said. "they are all about the same. I just have to find the place where i can play and feel comfortable. I feel good about all these places because i feel like i can play anywhere. It's just where i feel comfortable."

"i still feel good about tennessee," griffin said. "i just need time to figure out where i really want to go. Tennessee offers the same great things that it did when i was there last month. They let me know how much they want me."

griffin hosted tennessee head coach jeremy pruitt last week and that visit went very well. It was the first time his parents got to visit with the first year vol head coach. "it was great," griffin said. "he explained his defense and told me how i would fit in the defense. He made a good impression in front of my parents so everything was good."

griffin will host defensive backs coach terry fair and other members of the tennessee staff coming up this week. The relationship between the longtime nfl corner and the newly minted 5-star grows by the day. "i feel like if i did end up at tennessee, he would take good care of me," griffin said. "he's a good guy and i appreciate him a lot."

griffin visited alabama this weekend with several other defensive backs, 5-star isaac taylor stuart and eddie smith, both tennessee targets were also in tuscaloosa. The amount of defensive backs didn't bother griffin who said the pitch was simple. "they are trying to do the same thing i'm doing," griffin said. "it was like that at every other school. Alabama lost six defensive backs and that i'd have the opportunity to play."

there will be no visit next weekend as griffin will just relax at home while he does a lot of thinking. "i don't know what i want to do that," griffin said. "i have a few more days or just over a week. I'm going to talk to my parents and figure it out."

Man I'm really starting to feel good about Griffin. If he leaves California, he's signing with Tennessee. Obviously that is still a big if. But he just sounds like he loves Tennessee's coaching staff.
