Do we ask Cotman after Corker commits to UK?

It doesn't apply just to Jones. Any coach who handles a recruitment that way should get the same treatment.

That's how recruiting is. Nothing you can do about it. Whining about it isn't going to change nothing.

There are a few others besides Ameer Speed. Check my recruiting thread in my signature for more information. Thanks!

:hi:

I'm not whining. I'm responding to the question posed in this thread.

It was asked if Tennessee should go crawling back to Cotman after cutting him loose and then not getting the guy(s) they wanted instead of him. I guess they can, but doubt they would....and I'm saying that if I were Cotman, and Jones came back with hat in hand after striking out with the other guys they wanted instead of me, I'm telling them to kick rocks....nothing whiny about that, just human nature...especially since Cotman is a very good, highly rated player who will have other options.

No, you're wrong. This doesn't just apply to Jones....it'd be to any coach who handled my recruitment this way....I'd pursue my other options and tell the coach who pulled my offer to pound sand if he came back around later on just because he couldn't get the other recruits he wanted instead of me. Human nature imo. Thanks but no thanks.

What would you do? You commit to a coach/school that you're excited about and looking forward to being a part (his words) and then you find out that they're pulling their offer, via your high school coach.

If they then circled back around, after striking out with the guys they supposedly wanted in favor of you, with hat in hand and offered you again....what would you do? Just say, of course coach, I still trust you 100%, where do I sign? I don't think so.

I'm not saying it's true, just asking a hypothetical.

What if CBJ would have kept Cotmans offer and Wade or Corker delay their decision until mid January, then one or both commit to UT. Then he pulls the kids offer with 2 weeks left and most classes full. So maybe he was trying to mitigate the challenges for cotman to find another school, by giving him time.

We still have other CB's to go after. Ameer Speed is one of them.

Not gonna be a CB.

Not gonna be a CB.

No guarantees in that not happening even though his frame is built for a safety.

Not gonna be a CB.

And Maleik Grey is a RB all the way, amirite???
