It's okay. If you don't want to eat BBQ, Brian Niedermeyer is taking a group to McDonald's

I wouldn’t have a problem shelling out 500-750k for this guy.

Would be worth it, pretty sure the edge from the same school and this guy might be as much of package deal without being one

I mean they reached out to us didnt they? If so break the wallet out. Those two are the types of DL guys Saban usually gets to wreak heavily in everyone.

Ice cream socials for the win.

 

[Buzzbait]

For a place to live and go to school for 3 or 4 years, yes.

For a free, weekend trip, paid for by a school you have absolutely no interest in attending, I can think of better places.

UNLV didn't offer.

SIAP, but I can’t WAIT to see Kesling try to pronounce this guys name, am I right?!?!

 

[Adam Sandler]

Coincidentally looks like we were his first offer. Has visited bama and tamu multiple times.

 

[Voltime123]

It helps the schools that can compete on a level playing field. Nothing is going to help the ones that couldn’t to begin with. It will balance out more fairly among more power 5 schools and with the numbers it takes to be play competitive football that is about all you can ask. It isn’t realistic to see a mid major compete year in and year out with the top half of power 5 schools. It takes more to win in football. GBO!

College is business decision now for these athletes and Tennessee has the best business going

If they give you some serious spending $$$$, that trip would definitely be on the list..

AP doesn't know if they even still visit anymore

5*s from Alabama is a tuff pull. Strange that the top 6-8 players from their state is ranked inside top 100 on 1 site I know.

especially right after they have great visits to Bama

So 2 top 60 players nationally have contacted TN and want to come visit Knoxville, yet live in the shadows of both Alabama & Auburn? Call me skeptical, but could this be a new way these kids could try to get more $$$, maybe they seriously want to see TN, or somewhere in-between. Who knows, but one thing it does is it will definitely get the attention of other schools. But, if they are serious about TN, then in my opinion, this has moved TN recruiting to an entirely different level and any "concerns" about this staffs recruiting ability will disappear.

My thinking as well. Another reason we'll see even more players flirting with the portal.
