If To is a first rounder I'll be very surprised, after last year I'd have agreed with you. But he did not look the same this year. If he keeps current trajectory he's a mid second rounder. He's got to take a step forward if he wants to sniff the first.

And outside of him the linebackers are horrid, we had better play from walk-ons this decade. Pruitt hasn't developed anyone here on this roster..... Yet.

Nothing I said disagrees with your stance. Just letting you know there is a lot more to this kid that goes well beyond his star rating.

But hey, if you want to just keep posting we suck, that's cool. Adds a lot of value and for that we all thank you.

Maybe i misunderstood your post, but it’s annoying to see people trying to justify this being okay/not being a big deal in any way. There is no positive side to him decommitting from us and it’s a big loss. That’s all I’m trying to say

Also it’s kinda funny that he moved up 6 spots after he decommits from us haha

This linebacking group is getting beaten soundly in the passing game. I'll concede that last year his supporting cast was better at the linebacker position and as a whole. But that's also a big reason his stats have increased. I just don't see him getting a first round draft grade at this pace, he's more of a second rounder at this point if we remove our Orange glasses. He can improve, and I'm not knocking him, more of a knock against this staff who hasn't shown us real player development yet, at least not what we'd expect of a year three coach.

so AP says he's boom or bust..."Ray Lewis or JJ Peterson"....also said, and i never saw the actual decommittment announcement, that apparently he still says TN is his top school.

grade of slaw, i know.....but....he's never visited anywhere, and while there's interest obviously elsewhere, i do think it'll be interesting to see what else may develop for him.

i think if Miami does push, at this point, they could get him. no idea on the Auburn slant, but it appears they're trying.

and he's at least decided to see what else is out there. the kid does have good relationships with these coaches and many of the commits in our class, so we may get a definitive answer one way or the other in a couple weeks.

so while it sucks to have this happen on the heels of the DM decommittment, i'm not 100% convinced he doesn't wind up here anyway.....of course, im not 100% convinced he does wind up here either.

He tweeted his decommitment and then tweeted how to contact him if any schools are interested. It does seem like he is still open and it wasn’t a decided flip like Kamar Wilcoxson.

Anyone who thought pulling a 5 star from South Florida would not have some twists and turns doesn't follow recruiting in that part of the country. Its always seems to include some drama with these high profile kids coming out of Dade/Broward county.

Yeah I am sure if he had committed to Clemson, the drama would still be there 🙄

i also wonder where others' interest level really is? the scuttle in the spring was that he was a head case and we were getting a problem and he wasn't a take at UM or UF etc.....maybe he's turned enough of a corner in that department that they're giving him another look, so he's doing the same....who knows.

it sucks, but, you can go back thru this thread months and months ago and see posts about "hope he sticks"....so it sucks, but it's not totally a shock....and like i siap, i still think it's not over and done here. maybe he just needs to get the warm fuzzies about pruitt being here? there's obviously a need at LB, and if he's more boom than bust, i'd imagine he would compete for early PT.

Yeah usually when a kid decommits at this point, it’s because he has another destination in mind.

Might be the case here, but the tweet soliciting recruitment indicates not.

I think it’s 40% he comes to UT, 35% Miami, 25% the field.

It took a lot of in depth statistical analysis to arrive at those numbers. I’d explain it to you all but you wouldn’t understand.

He supposedly hit a female teacher. If that's true, I'm not sure how you turn the corner on that in a few months. "Look coach I hadn't hit a woman all year." I figured it wasn't true or we'd have never taken him in the first place but at the time I may have overestimated the staff's intelligence.

His off the field issues have been rumored/known for some time... look back at this thread before he committed and there were screenshots of message boards and rumblings around it. If the staff backed off it’s because everyone is about to find out. Not because they didn’t know!
