Just a reminder: No politics in the recruiting forum.

season opener highlights from Ryan Callahan

I hope this kid isn't playing Pruitt for the benefit of UF. He tells CJP he wants in, and therefore costs us the top two players left on the DB board if he is pulling a sucker move. I could see an opposing coach orchestrating that...It is smart if you can pull it off.

That #8 kept coming for him lol

I doubt it but if it happens more dbs will pop up...without fail.

If he pulls that crap, he better have his head on a swivel when we play them is all I can say.

Definitely physical. Not sure about that competition he was playing though lol

The fat wr that looked like a fb was great. Haha. They weren't even trying to run routes. Just trying to hit him to keep him from making the tackle.

 

[AngryButchJones]

Jeez, that No. 8 seemed like a punk. But good physicality from Hill even though it was never really thrown his way.

They were playing Christian Brothers from Memphis. Not a scrub team.

This is a Bruin tier conspiracy take.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

This is a Bruin tier conspiracy take.

Maybe..maybe not. But if Hill doesn't end up a Vol, that is basically the gist of it. He will have cost us two players at the top of our board.

Serious question because I don't have an answer. If he were to choose UF how did he screw us? Do we know anything other than UT has gotten the majority of the CB lately, and maybe some of the UT writers speculating that he is leaning UT. Or has Hill actually said anything himself on social media or elsewhere suggesting he is a Vol?

Supposedly told the staff he was a VOL.

Seriously..I am just yakkin about this, but you can believe whatever you want about what Hill has told coaches, and I will too. We will not have proof of it either way unless he does end up a Vol, and then says he had already committed like several others have when they went public...despite naysayers saying they had not.

It would suck but the coaches know the game and the risks. I'm sure it happens often but the only other alternative is never putting yourself in the position to land them.

The only 2 that have upset me under Pruitt is

1. Watching a UT hat getting thrown.

2. Jordan Young. CJP literally changed that kid's entire future and he chose a hell of a way to say thanks.

There are some on here who would prefer to never position ourselves to land them. I'm sure you've seen those that say, "We are wasting our time" with this one or that one. Already beaten before even starting, it's crazy.
Hill worries me as well, I'll admit; but, that doesn't mean we don't go after him, if we believe he can make us better.
And about Young...yeah, it was a bummer the way he did us; but, I think Cedric Tillman is going to make us forget all about him.

I know shady underhanded stuff happens on both sides in recruiting. Like you said, it is just part of the game. It just sucks when we are on the losing end of it...hopefully it doesn't happen with Hill...we will see.

I prefer he doesn’t commit early because it seems he’d be gone quickly if Bama or Auburn offered.

 

[AngryButchJones]

I feel like he would flip as well if they offered, but if we know that then the staff definitely does. They have backup plans in case that happens, I'm sure.

The hat thing didn't bother me really. Just silly to me. The Young thing I agree on. Did he even have an offer anywhere? The other side of this is I'm sure the coaches have accepted some commitments conditionally as well and will walk away if a better prospect comes along. It's a business and most everyone knows it.

i think that statement would made more sense 3 months ago. not saying he won't get one of those offers, but it has yet to come and there have been camps and pieces moving all summer long, and he's still there, and appears his interest in UT is legit. he camped at both Auburn and Bama in June....and has drawn real interest from OU, FL, USCe etc....

i think at this point, now that we're approaching fall, i'd feel better about it now, than i did in the spring or at the beginning of the summer.

Worth noting that in the chat last night, Hubbs answered a question about a recruit suggesting that it might depend on numbers since we already have 21 commits.

Of course, we only have 20 public.

People suggested it was a slip of the tongue.... per se, and that essentially Hubbs revealing we have a silent. To which Hubbs suggested it was a typo. Idk about your keyboard, but the zero on my keyboard is nowhere near the 1.

Considering Hill has stated he knows where he's going, coupled with all the "trending Vols" by VQ guys, and an announcement little over a week away..... safe to say Hill is either a silent to this staff or the VQ guys at the very least have an article/video ready.

On a 10 key the zero is right below the one.
