One thing "confirming" could be the fact that Pruitt told him he (Pruitt) will have a more hands on the defensive side of the ball. That could put THE FAMILY more at ease with their son coming here

Plausible!...my take on it was is with all of the recent coaching vacancies at Alabama that Nieds is selling tennessee to him as a more complete family atmosphere as of now.The “family before friends or duties” in reference to the article I found on the meaning Nieds posted.I think that was a shot at Tosh as someone that’s selling bama to Henry as a “Friend” and Nieds Is selling tennessee to him as being family and his family duties are at tennessee.

Henry To’oto’o had only been to Tennessee once previously, but the 4-star California native said this weekend’s official visit to Rocky Top “felt confirming.” The Vols have long been among the favorites to land the De La Salle linebacker, and a comforting few days with To'oto'o's entire family in Knoxville only further cemented UT's chances with the Top 100 prospect.

While To’oto’o saw all the bells and whistles Tennessee has to offer on his first trip to town over the summer, this weekend was an opportunity to “really sit down and talk ball with (defensive coordinator Kevin) Sherrer and coach (Jeremy) Pruitt." The Vols plan to utilize the 6-foot-2, 225-pound linebacker in a similar role as former Alabama ‘backers Reuben Foster and Mack Wilson. To’oto’o watched Alabama film with on both players and “how they performed" under Pruitt.

“I don’t like disrespecting no other linebacker that’s currently on the team right now, because I respect every player,” the All-American Bowl prospect explained. “But if I were to be able to come in and do what I’m supposed to do and be able to compete, I feel I can contribute early. I don’t like being guaranteed anything, and I don’t like when coaches tell me I can come in right away and play. But Coach Pruitt basically said that, and told me, as long as I do my work and do what I’m supposed to do and work hard through this offseason and learn the playbook the way I’m supposed to, I’ll be able to come in and play.”

Along with Tennessee, Alabama and Washington round out To’oto’o’s Top 3 schools. He will take an official visit to Tuscaloosa on Jan. 25 before making his final decision on National Signing Day (Feb. 6). While he has “really strong feelings” about the Vols, he currently claims no leaders among his top group. “They’re all leveled out right now. They made the Top 3 for a reason. I love all three schools.”

It’s been said distance is a non factor idk why Hubbs would be saying that it’s been known him leaving the west coast was more likely because of bama.

In the video he said he would have 2 weeks to sit down and talk to his family and sort things out. If he takes visit to bama then that only give him one week. Maybe he misspoke. Maybe this is the "curveball" and he doesn't take his visit to bama. Maybe I'm reading too much into it. Either way, VOL.
