'25 UT OG Douglas Utu (Oregon commit)

[LowKey]

I was honestly surprised when he pulled the trigger with us. He may just be an impulsive kid. Who knows he may spin back our direction before things are said and done. He'll be a great get for any team.

Oregon plays in the B1G so travel is a factor. Also, wouldn’t he be subject to the income taxes of the state he’s playing in? I don’t know about Oregon but TN has zero.

Betting travel from LV to ORE is cheaper than LV to Knoxville for home games and a push between SEC and BIG away sites.

I have heard different things about whether out of state income is taxable. Anybody know for sure. Don’t know residency change requirements either. Much simpler in TN for sure.

Matt Ray said that Oregon is making a big push for Utu on the Trail Tidbits podcast.

Thanks Jimmy

If you're OK flying Allegiant, you can routinely catch round-trip direct flights to Knoxville and back for $250, and oftentimes, less. Even if Las Vegas to Eugene has a direct flight, it's doubtful that it's significantly cheaper, if any, than $250.

Maybe UT will meet Oregon in the CFB playoff in a year or two and unleash fury on Utu and the Ducks.

David Sanders commented "Type ". Not sure what that means.

Latter he said it was all love and he has to do what's best for him

Oregon can’t hold up their end of that bargain.

I’m a little salty. This was a good one.

I mean honestly you’re not going to find one in this class this late of the caliber you’re wanting.

tws...oh. Recruit thread.

Watch.

Someone get "Tennessee Commit" off this dude's thread.

 

[hardyemt_p]

Probably be a 5* now. Oh well. Good luck

Eh, it's hard to know what's going on behind the scenes. We could flip one just like they flipped this one. We'll be fine.

 

[Rockytopoftheworld]

Big loss but was going to be tough considering geography to hold onto this kid.

We will have to find portal help in lieu of losing Utu. Doubt we will find similar caliber this late in the cycle

 

[NighthawkVol]

tws...oh. Recruit thread.

Watch.

I don't think Tennessee was ever involved with Solomon Thomas, but he's a Georgia kid, the #1 rated IOL in the country and committed to an FSU program that's falling apart. Wish we'd make a push. We're a hot program right now.

 

[BelievetheHeup2022]

We simply didn't view him as a tackle and Oregon is going to give him that opportunity. Just need to hit up the portal.

That quote is annoying, as if he wasn't doing that here.
