'18 GA DL Kurott Garland (Tennessee signee)

so you think Pruitt explicitly told his family that the offer was conditional on young signing with Tennessee?

Agreed.No way you tell a kid if you help get your better teammate here we will give you a scholarship as a token of our appreciation. Quite sure that would be recruiting suicide.
 
Yank this offer before he picks Tulane over us

No reason to yank it. We aren't gonna fill up this class and you can't bank them towards next season. Save one for a QB graduate transfer, so we wouldn't have to use a blue shirt and use a scholly from next year on him. If that is allowed, I'm not sure on that rule. But you can't carry over the scholarships to the next class, so they may as well go to somebody.
 
I'm quite sure coach's don't just announce that to recruits. If may be assumed, but doubt a HC just throws that out there in words.

It may or may not be quite as deliberate as that, but like you said, it's very much assumed and implied at the very least. It's not uncommon either. I named 3 cases off the top of my head just in the past 12 years at Tennessee.
 
Hey, kid racked up stats. I'll give him a shot. What do we have to lose? Gotta sign 25 either way. BOOM
