He grew up a Tennessee fan and a few years ago UT was the favorite. Then Butch Jones didn't win enough games and with him being an elite recruit the other big programs made better sales pitches. But he's visited UT many many times over the years, including a time or two since Pruitt was hired. He knows Pruitt and most of our coaches from when they recruited him to Auburn, UF, UGA and Bama. Relationships matter most in recruiting. Our staff has been recruiting him for years and that didn't stop the day they arrived in Knoxville. His good friend Wayna Morris is a Vol and rumors he's not that happy with Auburn these days. The more games Auburn loses this fall the more likely he ends up elsewhere and UT would have a VERY good chance to land him if he chooses to not be a tiger.

Also, it seems UGA and Owen have mostly moved on from each other from what UGA posters have said, IIRC.

That's some great info Ron. Great post!

Can you guys answer something for me? Many of you seem optimistic that we'll get Owen Pappoe. I just checked on govols247 and every single CB prediction is to either Georgia or Auburn. I don't know a ton about recruiting... I only started following it less than a year ago. What is making us confident in getting his commitment?

I've been following recruiting for several years, and crystal balls tend to be unreliable as predictors until a few days (and sometimes hours) leading up to the player's decision. I don't think we had a single crystal ball for Kongbo until the day before he committed.

Looking at Pappoe's crystal ball predictions, there are 29 so far. 10 of the Georgia predictions came in November 2017, mostly in the days after two Georgia insiders predicted he was going to Georgia. Most of the Auburn predictions came in April 2018 (he committed to Auburn May 1).

Note that it's rare for crystal balls to roll in after a player has committed, as Butchna pointed out, so he hasn't had many new predictions since May 1. If here were to decommit, however, a new string of predictions would roll in, and a few of those (if not a majority) would probably be for the Vols.

Auburn 247 writer is trying to play up that Pappoe hasn't been looking around anywhere at all.

"The 5-star recruit committed to Auburn over Georgia on May 1. At this time, he seems extremely solid to the Tigers. In fact, he has been actively recruiting for them as we’ve pointed out in this article and others. Pappoe is extremely close with Auburn linebackers coach Travis Williams and that relationship was huge in landing his verbal. Also, the opportunity to play early was a contributing factor. Pappoe is one of the most athletic recruits nationally in the 2019 class."

Egg sackly.

Let’s recap:
  1. He talks to other recruits about playing at Auburn.
  2. He likes the position coach.
  3. He likes early playing time.
  4. He’s athletic.
🤨

Face it, Barn. We figured out the cheat code and got that dub. Now we’re gonna take those croots. They’re ours now.

Only thing I agree with there is TWill was the reason he chose AU, that and saying Pappoe is very athletic. Surprised he put playing early being a key factor, that is recruit code for afraid to compete. Pappoe hasn’t been recruiting for AU for a little bit. Geaux is the go to on this but rumors of Watson are heating up...like to hear what he’s hearing.
