Any idea on who is staying or who is going to open back up? I have heard that Corey Miller says he is staying. If we can keep him and Jac maybe we can keep a hold of this class.

Looks like Willis said Miller is gone, and so is he..maybe Delvin Jones Dixon and Ambles are next...time to play wait and see

Conflicting reports on Miller right now. Willis has decommitted. Even though classes haven't started, EEs who have arrived have already received lodging on the UT dime. Can they still leave without penalty? They've already received benefits.

It actually looks like Miller may stay, which is good. And if any of the EE want to leave then they will have to file with the NCAA, which would be passed. Still it would be a pain for them..hopefully they will all stay...

I'm Brandon Willis's friend on Facebook and he enrolled at UT today before this happened. WBIR channel 10 in Knoxville made it a point to say that as long as they were ENROLLED in classes (which they all are as of today) then they CAN NOT leave. They would have to sit out a year if they wanted to leave. They made a point of saying this at least 5 different times.

Some the early attendees went through bowl practices. Per what I read somewhere tonight, they're "enrolled" and are bound by LOI unless released by UT.

EE's are; Bray (Staying), Fugate (?), James (?), Meline (rumored to be staying), Miller (V, B.), Milton (?), Simms (enrolled), Thompkins (enrolled), Smith (?), and Willis (gone).

Is that everybody? Update as needed.
GBO!

no. thats incorrect. EEs dont sign LOIs, as long as they havent stepped foot in a class, they can switch schools. thats why Coach O was sneak calling the recruits and trying to tell them not to go to class tomorrow.

I think the EEs who have practiced with the squad, have bonded with their teammates already and they want to do this and WIN just to show Kiff and crew they dont need them.

the reports were the players were real rowdy with CLK and I imagine the EEs had to feel the like theyre in the fox hole with their soldiers ... (i know run on)

I talked to Bray tonight and I have never seen someone so confused as he was. He talked about how his family moved here for this. I am pretty sure he stays. More than anything, he seemed MAD at Kiffin. I heard James say his parents encouraged him not to go to class in the morning, so take that FWIW. I don't think Milton is going anywhere. He was smiling and laughing tonight and seemed to think the whole riot business was quite entertaining.

I can't imagine how hard it must be for these guys.

"I didn't commit to Tennessee because of the coach, I committed because of the school," he said. "But I probably was going to take a few visits anyway."

Correct, and from talking to some of those guys tonight (James mostly), it seems that several are going to skip class tomorrow. That doesn't mean they're necessarily leaving, but it does keep their options open.

As far as what went on tonight, players didn't care to hear a thing from the coaches. Bray told me he didn't listen to a word and was on the phone the whole time. Then when the players came outside, some current players were extremely mad and joined in the yelling, etc. Other players were calm, emotional, and left. Most of the EE's (I saw Jac, James, Milton, Meline, Bray, Fugate) were just standing there taking it all in.

AJC is rumoring that the NCAA will grant waivers to the EEs. Same article basically says James is gone.
