Still holding out hope…

Still 10 toes down!

I’m by no means an insider but I posted a month ago in the baseball forum that I had heard rumors Chase Burns was unhappy and wanting to transfer and my post got deleted, so the one time in my life when I had legit info, it was deleted . My run at being an insider ended before it started.

They saved you from a lot of anguish lol

I think it comes down to this:

1) Are the CBs to Arizona based on info their staff has received and disseminated, or

2) Are they due to the fact that many thought this was merely an Oregon-Arizona battle, and with Oregon faltering the only other choice is ‘Zona?

If (2), I believe he’s a Vol. If (1), well, the pull of playing in-state with his brother and a huge NIL deal was probably hard to pass up, despite the Wildcats’ woes.

I would not be surprised one bit if he put on a Tennessee hat this afternoon. It's close!

Thanks Rodney

 

[Wickman]

[volfaninpa]

To be a legit factor with prospects like this when we go back just 2 years is amazing!

USA Today the next day for the BIG signings KNS for the future core of your Vols.

Started getting the Sunday edition of KNS in 1980. Living about 100 miles north of Memphis we would get very little coverage of the previous day’s game.
Still have my copy of the Sugar Vols and ’98 National Championship.

Growing up in Chattanooga, the Times-Free Press had pretty good Vol coverage (and color pics at the time). Our library would have the latest edition of KNS and when I really revved up my interest in recruiting in 1986, it became my go to. It’s not the same nowadays.

As a youngster, my favorite memories of Vols games are walking to the stadium buying a Journal, with the lineups. All the smells of hotdog, popcorn, Jack Daniels, and cigarrette smoke milling about. The energy in that building. Old people with AM/FM radio doodads over their ears and binoculars to see the play. Ohhh, John Ward...

I grew up in Mt. Juliet, but moved to Chatt-town for college in '99, and I feel like I came in on the tail end of when the Times-Free Press was good at Vol coverage like you're referencing. I agree, it's just not anywhere near what it used to be.

We do close….. not all five stars but 94 or better rating….. Nico, Hobbs, Carter, Seldon, Bradley, Davis, and Matthews…. We won’t get everyone but recruiting is getting better every single season like it should.

Are we forgetting the shape our program was in after Pruitt was canned? What Huepel and his staff has done the past two years is nothing short of phenomenal. It’s gonna take some time to build the good will back from high school coaches and recruits.

We’ve been locking our state down which is big. Just doesn’t help that Tennessee isn’t as talent loaded as Georgia, Florida or Texas. So it’s gonna take some time for us to to start pealing away top talent from those states

You are so correct. The coverage of Tennessee in Chattanooga use to be fantastic. Despite the city being so close to the Ga, Al state lines . I use to love hearing all the dawg and tide fans complain about local coverage of their teams not being as good as it was on Tennessee.

 

[Volfanatic_20]

I can assure you that’s not the case here. Our reiteration that TN is in it more than most think is simply because they are coming out of the visit. We’ve shot it as straightforward as we can on this one. At this point, I don’t know where he is going, and I’m not sure anyone outside of the family circle does this morning. That could change leading in, but he still had not told anyone anything official as of last night. Arizona has moved into the Oregon category of feeling like the safest bet, but in these old school recruitments, who knows?

"Outside the family circle"
The brother, at Arizona, is in the family circle....

Did he set the commitment date after our visit…. That can be a good sign sometimes.

What are they saying on the AZ boards?

 

[drvenner]

We do close them. At some point, you've got to start keeping up better.
