let's get one thing straight. Uga has been beaten by ut 2 of the last 3 years (dobbnail boot, baby)! So, just because they had one year of success does not make them superior to us, whatsoever! Ut seems to finally be digging themselves out of a decade of misery but yet we have still found a way to beat uga two of the last three years! I believe my point is proven?

I think they see this kid as a safety/nickel. Doesn’t have anything to do with Griffin. VQ has said sources have told them UT still leads for Griffin.

I agree with this. Palmer may very well be a better Safety prospect. Griffin and Smith are more pure CBs. Regardless if we land Griffin, Smith or even a third surprise, Palmer is still a take at Safety. Also, remember that Grant is potentially an excellent Safety prospect even though we are recruiting him as a RB. Tyson Campbell, though a long shot, also looks like a better safety prospect to me. Dude is a heat-seeking missile. He is perhaps the most ready to start at either position.

He's handing out the offers. It's not like he can force CBs or safeties to choose us. What is it you want him to do? Stop chasing high rated players for lower rated ones ready to commit? Not how you win championships.

The potential is definitely there...I’m just afraid that the heart, work ethic and discipline aren’t...and that won’t fly with this new staff

No Heart? Work ethic? Discipline? Based on what? Not wanting to argue but courious how you know this. Could it be possible that he was in the wrong system? Bad coaching? Or does Vol Nation just know these things? Many schools were after this guy even though he had limited football time. Could it be possible that this freak of an athlete might just shine in the correct system? If you know something about his work ethic that we don’t please tell. Otherwise please stop trashing these guys.

If he has those problems, this staff would not offer.

The Vols certainly made a move with Peach State defensive back Taiyon Palmer this weekend. Palmer recently picked up offers from Alabama, Clemson and Notre Dame, but it was Tennessee’s legitimate interest that sparked his visit with the Vols. Sources indicate Tennessee has positioned itself in the driver’s seat for the 3-star DB, leapfrogging N.C. State and Nebraska. A decision is set for NSD.

Gv247 saying same as VQ. TN looking good here and on davis. Also said don't make that assume anything bad elsewhere as we are positioned nicely to possibly land more than 1 of OG, its, Campbell, smith. Not saying we will just that we are still in game hard

Chad Simmons post on VQ...

I just spoke with Palmer and it is going to be an interesting finish to this race. Tennessee gets the middle visit this week. They will be in his home Wednesday. Nebraska is Tuesday and Thursday is NC State. I talked with Jesse a few days ago and I told him NC State and Nebraska were in good positions from what I had heard. They made his top three with Tennessee, who made a big move over the weekend.

If I had to say who I personally feel has the slight edge entering this week, it is NC State. They have really done an excellent job recruiting him from what I hear. Now, on what Palmer said about Tennessee, here are some quotes:

"I did think Tennessee was going to be one of my finalists before the visit. I knew what Jeremy Pruitt was about, he knows what he is talking about and he knows all about my position.

"Coach Pruitt knowing about defensive backs definitely helps them. He knows what he is talking about, he knows how to coach my position and he coaches a great defensive system. "The best thing about the visit was the people, the staff. The staff knows the game and the players made me feel at home. That with the educational program stood out to me."

Obviously this is a big week for Palmer and his family. He is not taking a visit this weekend, so he is just going to do the final in-home visits with each staff, then figure things out. He said he is not sure when he will know his decision, but he is just going to pray on it and talk about it with his parents a lot.

Kids love HUDL and edit that info themselves.

Not a hater here but HE lists his own 40 time at 4.62.

What's up with that?
