If he holds off until November on the surface I would feel better…

-prior to UK offering Wallace UK folks said if they offered him the was theirs, they offer 7/24

-they said they had the momentum and wouldn’t be shocked if he committed on his OV, that was 8/25

-after his visit they said they expected an announcement from him soon and he likely wouldn’t take any other visits, he then visited Texas, Tennessee and has plans to visit UTSA

-they said his November commitment date likely doesn’t hold and he would be committing soon, he tells 2 different Tennessee interviews he will wait until November


Maybe UK ultimately lands him, none of this means they won’t, but it definitely makes me question just how “connected” they are to legitimate info in this recruitment? They’ve been wrong multiple times and just makes me question if most of their opinions are formed simply off the fact “they are UK” and this is Tennessee.

A recent example of UK being wrong: I remember when they were absolutely convinced that they were going to land Cade Cunningham. Jack Pilgram and Travis Graf of the Sources Say podcast spent multiple podcast eps talking about Cunningham and his recruitment. Well, he committed to Oklahoma State instead (his older brother is one of the MBB assistant coaches there).

Echoing what you said, maybe they do wind up landing Wallace. If so, so be it. I’m not buying this “silent” commit thing. We got him on campus for his second OV, and that says to me that we are still being considered. And now, we wait.

Meyer not nearly as reliable as he used to be. Basilio has him on quite often, and he just sounds very uninformed a lot of times. Not to say he's wrong, here, or that he never gets info, but I feel like he's prone to flow with popular opinion more often than outscoop people, anymore.

Edit: Looks like BTO beat me to it, but I agree. Meyer used to be money, but he's lost his touch more recently.

I think the SEC is about to land several of the 5 star, top players in the country. There are 28 5 star players, per 247, and the SEC could land 11 of them:

#1 - Shaedon Sharpe to Kentucky
#6 - Chris Livingston to Kentucky
#9 - Nick Smith to Arkansas
#11 - Brandon Miller to Alabama
#13 - Jarace Walker to Alabama
#17 - Skyy Clark to Kentucky
#19 - Adem Bona to Kentucky
#25 - Anthony Black possibly to Arkansas (leaning towards Oklahoma State though)
#26 - Malik Reneau to Florida
#27 - Jordan Walsh to Arkansas
#28 - Dillon Mitchell to Tennessee

If this happened, then the following SEC schools would land 5 star players:

Kentucky - 4
Arkansas - 3
Alabama - 2
Florida - 1
Tennessee - 1

You left out the player whose thread you are posting in.

He is not a 5 star on 247, which is what I was quoting...but you are correct. I should have included him since the thread subject is him. Can you excuse me for omitting him though because I do not like where I think he is going to end up?

UT still likes where they are with Wallace and even thinks they are the leader as it stands today.

His recruitment is fascinating from an information standpoint. Either the national media or our staff is totally misreading the situation with Wallace. I can't remember a recruitment where a staff feels one way but the media is entirely on the other side.

I don’t think the media is always that in the know and the tendency of course is to favor the blue bloods
