As for Corbin and Flowers, both prospects have become major factors recently. Tennessee has tried to get Flowers on campus for three weeks, with his SEC waiver finally cleared for a trip this weekend. In the time between, Flowers has heard from a number of other schools, getting an offer from Clemson on Monday. He visited the Tigers the last two days. Corbin has reemerged as a Tennessee target, too, as Robert Gillespie visited the tailback three times in the last three weeks including an in-home with Jeremy Pruitt to secure Corbins final OV this weekend. This one is shaping up to be a Tennessee-Texas A&M battle at the end.
Just spoke with Trevon Flowers...
He said the visit was good in what's been a crazy last couple of weeks. He will decide between Tennessee, Clemson and Kentucky.
He visited Clemson Wed-Friday then came to Tennessee.
All three have a plan for him to play baseball and he's just trying to decide what school.
"Anywhere I go will be a good place, I'm just trying to decide what place is the best place for me."
Full story coming...
tucker, georgia athlete trevon flowers was heading into his senior year at tucker high school and said why not play football? i talked myself into it. I played 7th grade. It was my senior year so why not. I knew i could do it. it's been good but it's been hard, flowers said. anywhere i go it will be a good situation, but i want to be in the best situation.
flowers good opportunities include tennessee, clemson, and kentucky. Flowers visited kentucky a couple of weeks ago. Wednesday through friday, he visited clemson. This weekend it was tennessee's turn to try and impress.
it was good, flowers said. I enjoyed it. I really liked the people that i was around, the players, the coaches and staff. they definitely know what they are doing. They like me at corner, safety and nickel.
it was good, flowers said of the baseball part of the visit. They have a good plan mapped out for me to do both and what helps is that it was clear both coaches (vitelo and pruitt) want me. flowers said he knows a couple of baseball players committed to play at tennessee and felt comfortable both the football and baseball players all weekend. Now, with signing day looming on wednesday, it's decision time for 6-foot, 185 pound safety.
i will talk it over with my parents and coaches today or tomorrow and go from there, flowers said. i'm trying to decide where will i be more comfortable at in the next chapter of my life. that's what i gotta talk about. It's all happened so quick.
-uk is uk
-Other than 2015 (super regionals) Clemson baseball hasnt done anything
-ut hasnt done anything in baseball for long time. Hopefully we can get this...
i mean, its what i expected, said flowers, whos now planning to play both football and baseball in college. "the facilities are nice. I mean, there was nothing bad about it theyre pretty good, actually. I love the people that were around me. I love the coaches. theyre up there. Ive just got a big thought process ive got to think about these next couple days.
new tennessee coach jeremy pruitt, safeties coach charles kelly, cornerbacks coach terry fair and co-defensive coordinator chris rumph all had been in contact with flowers, he said, over the past few weeks. The visit allowed them to spend more time with him and reiterate to him that hes a high priority for the vols. i mean, they want me bad, said flowers. "im pretty sure i have a great chance of playing freshman year at any db position. i have a great chance to start.
flowers said he has more of a relationship with the tennessee coaches, as of now, just because i knew them longer and i know more about them, and he likes what he has seen and heard from pretty much the whole staff there. they were pretty much the first school to start talking to me well, first big school to start talking to me so im pretty familiar with all of them, he said. i feel like tennessees going to have some success. I mean, i feel it, and their background. I mean, everybody knows coach pruitt is pretty good. And the coaches along with him, theyre pretty good, too. Tennessee, they will be up.
kentucky hosted flowers on an official visit the weekend of jan. 19, and he said the wildcats football coaches have been in contact with me recently. But he said they recently have told him theyd have to put me on scholarship in january.
i mean, they want me, he said. but id probably have to be on scholarship in january, if i was to go, because he gave up so many initials already. because of that, his decision could come down to clemson and tennessee. i mean, that plays a big part, flowers said. that plays a big part. I mean, unless anything changes in the next couple days. But (kentuckys coaches) still want me bad. Theres nothing he can really do.
flowers said he plans to announce his decision wednesday on his twitter account, and he insisted hes not sure yet where he wants to go. honestly, i couldnt tell you, he said. "im still in the process. I havent even gotten home yet, so ill probably just talk it over with my family and my coaches.
