This happens sometimes with this staff. A kid comes off a visit and says he loved the visit, but the coaches get the reports from the player's on the team and they back off immediately. Kids tend to show who they really are around their peers, and these coaches trust what the player's have to say about recruits.Not just read, but you’re right. I’m a coach in the area
...and that's awesome because it makes our players responsible for maintaining and building the team culture.This happens sometimes with this staff.

Like what? He looks every bit of the 6’6” 235 he’s listed at. The only thing I can imagine if we moved on is a bidding war we don’t like or not being a personality fit somehow as possibly found out by other players/recruits but that’s also hearsay that we would likely never actually hear the details of. Recruiting is Strange, and fluid.Sounds like we moved on for whatever reason. I’m guessing measurables.
AP said specifically it wasn’t a character issue. So that’s why I went where I went. Who knows.Like what? He looks every bit of the 6’6” 235 he’s listed at.

Well now I’m even more curious. Any idea what’s involved in these official visits as far as measurables and assessments? Do they do a full physical and athletic drills? Drug test? Psych eval?AP said specifically it wasn’t a character issue. So that’s why I went where I went. Who knows.
Nothing like that.Well now I’m even more curious. Any idea what’s involved in these official visits as far as measurables and assessments? Do they do a full physical and athletic drills? Drug test? Psych eval?

Something weird for sure. Likely we’ll never know. I feel like the coaches would’ve known about physical measurables etc before he came in. Usually there is only a few things that makes a team just move on like this.No.
But his whole damn family is in that picture
Maybe his family is unreasonably money hungry…
Which is making him bring up that bidding war.
And that wouldn’t be a character issue…
My guess is that the Cocks have a major overpay offer on the table for him and we aren’t going to come close to matching it. Not when we’re in great shape with Gibson Shanklin Grady Dye.Well now I’m even more curious. Any idea what’s involved in these official visits as far as measurables and assessments?

That makes a lot of sense. UT has higher guys on the their board than Smith that they are in good positions with as of now. Hopefully, we're getting to see more and more instances where UT will be having to pick between elite players at every position and some will end up elsewhere.My guess is that the Cocks have a major overpay offer on the table for him and we aren’t going to come close to matching it.
