One thing to keep in mind is basically all that info we've gotten has been from a 3rd party. I appreciate Blaze for bringing what he knows, but Teague has played his recruitment close to the best. There's no way to know what he and his family have really been thinking.

It's also noteworthy that the info volatil has brought concerning Teague (though admittedly further from the family than Blaze claims to be) hasn't been very positive about our chances for a while now.


It's easy for me to get swept up emotionally when it comes to football (anybody who was here for the Vandy game last year knows that lol), but I always try as much as I can to take a step back and look at things from as neutral a perspective as I can manage when it comes to recruits. They're making decisions based on their future and there's no way for us to know for sure all the factors that go into their choices.

Yeah, I didn't mean to come across like I was bashing the kid or anything, and it's untelling what the relationships between the family and various coaching staffs have been like behind closed doors along the way. I was just saying that on the surface, the circumstances surrounding a possible OSU commitment don't seem to jive with the criteria they've put out there for choosing a school. Auburn doesn't jive with the whole character part either, as they are a dirtier program than Ole Miss IMO.

And yes I've also had to learn to take a step back in orde to keep from getting too emotionally caught up in Vol football since about 1999.

Foster is a star who came from UT...but the fact that we couldn't get him drafted doesn't help us much IMO. Schools like Auburn who have somewhat recent early round RB pics like Tre Mason (even though he flamed out quick at the next level) look better in that respect IMO.

Its on the school to develop a kid and showcase him enough to get drafted. After that the ball's in his court.

Alvin Kamara.

Again, using UGA and AU is not a valid argument.

VQ guys saying anything? Their silence would be a good sign IMO. Usually they'd be letting everyone down easy if they knew it wasn't UT.

I am wondering the same. I am very interested if it is true that he made five different commitment videos… If it is, then I think the writing is on the wall. That would mean he made the three videos to his top three that he released, but he also made two videos for Clemson and Ohio State, in case they offered before his commitment date.

I'm worried that he might select UGA - "Teague is a big fan of Chubb, who announced his commitment to Georgia the same day - June 11, four years ago." From Georgia Bulldogs on 247Sports site.

Be a Vol young Teague!!!

Actually, that Hail Mary pass can easily be used to show how horrible the coaching staff did at Georgia to defend that play. Your tallest defenders are in the endzone and behind our receivers...what good does that do you? Obviously, that is the wrong way to defend that play. Of course, de1 doesn't mention anything about that.

and Azzani changing the personnel grouping for the play. out O line and Kamara doing excellent blocking. dobbs foot work and staying in the pocket (not something he was really known for)

luck would have been some of the Auburn stuff, deflecting the ball off of two defenders before falling to the WR.

I would love to have Teague, the O-Line is set up for a Running back of his caliber. But if he don't want to be here, we will find another. He would be great with our O-Line, the future of our O-Line should be a running backs dream. GBO!!!!

Here is the other thing that really has me thinking. I saw earlier in this thread where they said he had to commit on the spot or they were moving on. It was like I was told by my parents, if someone pressures you into a major decision, then leave as quickly as possible. If they say it is on the table now but if you walk out without saying yes, then the opportunity is gone, by all means, WALK OUT. If that was accurate about him having to commit on the spot, that is even more disrespect for him to not be more valued to take a little time to be sure of his decision. Probably the most important one he has ever had to make that could affect his entire life. If what we have heard about this family is true, then no way he goes there. Auburn or Georgia maybe but not OSU. I say his choice is going to come from this top 3 and I hate to think this, but I think it is Auburn. However, that would be better than Georgia.

This is so ironic because the reports after the Juco DE's recent visit were that our coaches decided not to pursue a commitment immediately. They didn't want him to think they were desperate and wanted him to talk to his family.

For all you guys with the Murfreesboro connections: If Teague does go to OSU, does that all but lock Trey Knox to OSU too?
