I step away for a few days and all hell breaks loose.

I want to make a brief comment. All these media guys are fed their information from two sources typically... our coaches and their media counterparts at the other schools. This creates a very interesting dynamic. I will tell you that there are many times when our coaches will mislead these media guys with specific comments so that the true dynamics of what is actually going on is not leaked to these counterparts and also to keep them in the know to some degree but only give them as little as possible.

We are right in the thick of it with this recruitment. Bama has made their “pitch” and we are coming in today to make our offer. There is a lot at play as you can imagine with the family wanting to move and I will leave it at that but we are ready. Do not discredit KS, BN, and JP in this one.

More to come later.

This is very interesting. Sure hope you’re right, everybody else saying it’s over and we need to put all our energy into Russell to make sure we land the consolation prize. Sure hope you’re right

I think we have a better shot at To'oto'o myself. Either way we are recruiting well and better day are ahead despite what some say. Getting Solomon and Gibbs was big also. Wright will be a VOL and I think we have a slightly better than 50-50 at Henry T but that is purely my opinion only. GBO!

this has been a tough recruitment to read. the Vols seemingly came out of nowhere and now are in the thick of it.

do not count out UW btw. I have a buddy that plays in a bball rec league with Coach Alumbaugh (De La Salle HC) and he was told that Henry has already committed to UW.

Take that with a grain of salt as you should all recruiting news (depending on the source) but it would not surprise me at all if the doogs land Henry. they are HUGE with the poly community right now.

I hope he goes to either UT.

Way to go @Atlanta VOL......you know this crew can’t be left alone for a minute. They almost shut down the football program due to this thread.

goducks has a buddy that plays rec ball with his hc that says xx

=

1) goducks is telling an honest and accurate story
2) his buddy is telling an honest and accurate story
3) the coach is telling an honest and accurate story and has special info
4) whoever did or did not tell the coach something was 1) being honest and 2) info is recent and 3) accurate. This recruitment has changed at least 3 times now.

And who told the HC? Likely not HT himself. Most recruits want it a secret or honestly don't know yet if they're telling multiple HCs to fly thousands of miles to take up his weeknights. Probably a family member, teammate, etc...and the narrative link lengthens.

Point is...humans, even honest ones, are really bad at the telephone game.

i mainly signed up to this forum to see if the KW info i have has any legs to it. my guy is not wrong a lot, but it seems weird that Kristian would skip an OV to Rocky Top. so i just wanted to cross check that.

at that point i noticed the Henry T thread and thought i would just pass down what im hearing. take it how you want, but if he ends up at UW, you heard it here first.

Again im not saying "he gone" im just passing down some info. I hope to god that info is wrong. but y'all deserve to have all the info on his recruitment because up until this point its been a huge enigma. i wish Oregon was in it still, i dont think they were in even to begin with.

People around the nation are talking about UW. You're not first, more like 101st. This is WELL known.

KW, I believe is more along the lines of we ran out of room rather than him skipping out.
