'18 TN DB Brendon Harris (UT Commit 5/19/17)

[therickbol]

drafted last year... SIX.

I see the reasoning behind their point. But that stat does kinda invalidate it a little.

Exactly. Regardless of the coach(barring Dooley) if you are good you have a path to the NFL at Tennessee.

Can’t blame the kid for looking around. Sure they may love UT, but I wouldn’t want them having blind faith that whoever the school hires will be good for them. If I was the father of Brendon I would have him looking at all his options.

Are these kids looking around because they love Butch and think he might get canned or because TN sucks at football in general?

They probably have people in their ear(who they trust) saying Butch is the best coach Tennessee is going to have for a long time

I didn't ask about last year. Would you send your NFL talent son to play for Butch RIGHT NOW?

Right, you could be undrafted like Coleman.

Yes


It's because the team has looked bad. These kids have been hearing negative pitches from other schools about Butch and his ability to win and develop talent. These last 3 weeks have only ignited the flames

No one knows. And, with each kid, it is probably different to some degree. I think it is more about not knowing who the coach will be than anything else.

Kids are looking around because they don't know who the coach will be.....

Can't really blame them. Hopefully they wait until we make a hire before they make a decision.

Barton Simmons said today on 104.5 this kid is taking this opportunity to save face because not sure how serious his offer was from Tennessee.

Top player not only in TN but nationwide and it wasn’t a serious offer? What is Barton Simmons smoking?

I laughed. Was talking about Butch keeping his job.


I laughed harder

Oh good grief. How do some of these guys get their jobs?

😂 Yup, he’s smoking something for sure.

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Clemson told him no

 

[therickbol]

I am not an expert so it's with a grain of salt...but I was never very impressed by this recruit. I have also heard others that would know better than me say the same thing.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Probably didnt have the grades for UT...that’s why we went cold on him...

Send him to Vandy, where anyone with a ... ah we dropped the ball.

 

[dirtysouth_20004]

Heard Clemson wouldn't take him and Butch wouldn't talk to him after he started looking around

 

[The Dog]

Hubbs more or less said the same thing on 990, today. Also said he has really dropped recently. I didn't get it either, probably quit camping.

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Yeah kid may end up playing for vandy. Stock has significantly dropped.
