Have confirmed that CB Al Blades Jr. will be in town for 'Orange Carpet Day' this Saturday. There's no doubt that Tennessee trails Miami for the nation's No. 35 overall prospect, but Kevin Beard has juice here and the Vols are at least giving Blades Jr. a second option/something to think about.
The standout corner remains a longshot, but at least getting him on campus puts Tennessee in the conversation.
Scott and Beard(not to forget Warren and Hoke) are the reasons I think Butch has finally stepped up his game and I've become optimistic of his future success here. We traded Scott for Debord and Beard for Azzanni. Both look to be good moves. We're getting looks from players like Blades that have ties to these guys. If we can lock them up the future looks bright for Butch and company.
It would be nice, if Scott and Beard could create a Miami and/ or south Florida to Knoxville pipeline.
Mr. Swanson, have u heard anything about Kevin Austin? I heard Blades and Austin were good friends. I'm hoping Austin accompanies Blades to OCD.
