Maybe there's something I'm missing, but why is the dad speaking for Austin in all of these articles? Is there a rule against the recruit speaking to the media? I feel like I've heard recruits speak in interviews before.

Mark stated that Austin doesn't really care for all the hullabalo.
Austin has done some interviews but dad's been carrying the ball lately.

Well he can't private message him. How else is he supposed to ask? The Gruden thread moves a mile a minute and I'm not sure I've seen BTO over there since his comments.

That means he probably has nothing else to say.

Dude, that's TigersCane. "He" is an act from one of the regular posters over there. I guess someone thinks it's funny, but the reason you can't find a real person that is this ridiculous is because this isn't a real person.

A little off topic from this thread, but do you think Josh gets Devin Willaims what's the latest on this guy?

Having completed his final official recruiting visit to Auburn last weekend, Memphis Briarcrest Christian School senior Austin Nichols has no immediate plans to announce his college decision, according to his father, Mark Nichols.

Despite what you may have heard.

As fans of Tennessee, Memphis, Vanderbilt, Duke, Virginia and Auburn wait with bated breath for a decision, Mark Nichols told the News Sentinel on Tuesday that false information and rumors have led to "a feeding frenzy" surrounding his son.

"It causes a lot of grief and whiplash with everybody," he said.

Asked if there was any update on a timeline for a decision, Mark Nichols, quickly responded, "Nothing."

"We haven't even met as a family."

Mark Nichols then recounted a story of a friend in Knoxville calling him Tuesday saying a local radio station was reporting Austin planned to announce his college choice Friday and would ultimately pick the Vols.

"Well all that was new news to me," he said. "Thing about it is, I'm not saying he's not going to Tennessee, I don't know what he's going to do, but these people all need to take to chill pill. When he commits, he commits."

Austin Nichols is a 6-foot-9 power forward ranked as the No. 26 prospect in the Class of 2013 by 247Sports. He officially visited Tennessee two weekends ago.

As previously reported, he plans to make his announcement in early November.

"I don't know when we're going to announce," Mark Nichols said. "I'm out of town a lot so we've got to get together as a family and everything. We'll get it figured out soon here, hopefully."

Apparently Lewis got some false info, Nichols isn't going to be announcing this Friday, I'd say late next week would be the earliest,

Fantastic. Not been worried in a long time about this kid! I figured Auburn would be a small player in this and applaud them for at least getting in the mix for Nichols and Hubbs both.

Based on some comments by the dad, I'd say Nichols wants UT, but dad wants him in a more wide open offense and he is influencing him to delay the decision, hoping the kid comes around to his way of thinking.

I think dads putting up a smokescreen...

You say dad wants wide open offense, who's that? Duke or Memphis

Dad also says somewhere that's a good social fit...well that eliminates those 2 most likely.

I really think dad is just trying to build the suspense a bit for his son.

Some of you may end up on the 5th floor if he waits until the 21st to announce.

Seems to me that Dad is wanting his son somewhere other than UT. The longer this goes, the lower UT's chances get. If this goes into the spring, I don't like our chances.

Just heard on the sports animal he has no immediate plans to announce. I understand the suspense building and all that but enough already. I want him in orange and white but time to make a decision.
