both said there were concerns that he was flipping to TN.

So, that's one source, correct? And he just expressed concern, correct? Hell, VQ guys have concerns about our commits flipping, too. That does not mean it will happen. It's recruiting.

You clearly got your hopes way too high for illegitimate reasons.

The Official Guide to Identifying a Recruit Fishing for Followers:
1. Said commit has been committed to a school for a long time.
2. Said commit isn't getting the same amount of attention as others right before signing day
3. Said recruit randomly starts Retweeting a bunch of stuff from other schools.
4. Said recruit posts things on his Instagram wearing clothing from other schools.
5. Said recruit causes VN to freak out. "Insiders" start claiming he's a Vol.
6. At the last minute, said recruit re-affirms his long commitment.
7. Last but not least, all the "insiders" claim "recruiting is fluid" and that "he told our coaches last night he was a Vol".

Not really fair to single him out, many got their hopes up.

 

[Ten_Titans]

i think yall are forgetting that pruitt has only had 1 year to recruit...imagine what he can do with 2 years to recruit.

lolololol

 

[jwells]

What are you talking about? The kid has been a Bama commit for nearly six months and hasn't wavered. He didn't even OV to us.

Seriously. These are the same guys who will whine and moan about "what commitment should mean" when a player waivers from here. Kid said he was going to Bama and is going to Bama. I'm not sure that's a knock on TN's staff or any other.

 

[Bring_Back_Dooley]

This kid's language leading up to today. He trolled our fan base to generate interest in his ceremony. Same thing Ellis did. We as a fan base are desperate suckers.

Nope, not all of us, but a disturbing amount of posters take these kids' online trolling as gospel.

Right he never OV here. Lol

Agree, but he's the one that floods every thread with posts.

Um.. its 2 sources, but go ahead and run with whatever fake narrative you're wanting to use here for some dumb reason

 

[KBVol]

Yeah clearly we have no recruits wanting to come and play here. I guess none of our 2019 guys either have been or are being actively recruited by Bama, Georgia, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Auburn, LSU, PSU, UM, Clemson or UF right? This is catbone level KB. Come on man you are better than this.

Most of them haven’t quite honestly, not legitimately. And this dude just did what I and/or anyone else being honest/realistic suggested he would....not come to Tennessee when he had the opportunity to go to Alabama.

 

[Jackcrevol]

cant be disapointed if you rely in experience in these situations. kid was always going to Bama. dont take the bait next time.

 

[jp1]

Yep, going out in the backyard to practice softball with my girl.

She doesn't happen to be 12u and a catcher does she? Lol

On the money. Just amazing how many recruiting forum posters keep falling hook, line and sinker for this stuff. And if you come in with some truth and reality, you’re the fool/idiot/troll etc, etc.

Correct.

Is it really hurting anyone though? Seems as though when **** like this happens, so many want to unleash their frustrations on anyone who was a tab bit over excited lol.

You aren't a native to the RF. You don't know the relationships on this side of the fence. You might be right, but that doesn't mean you have to expose the truth at someone else's expense.

 

[LynxVol]

Um.. its 2 sources, but go ahead and run with whatever fake narrative you're wanting to use here for some dumb reason

Fake narrative? Chad Simmons is one source, who is the other? AV? Does he really qualify as a source?

Did Eboigbe ever take an OV to UT? How many times did he visit UT versus Bama? Who was he committed to? Did the VQ or the GV247 guys ever report that UT was legitimate, serious contender?

 

[BillVol7]

this x10000000000

These kids know suckers (Vol fans) when they see one......got played again

OK. Try again.

Guess you should just wait until they sign so you won't be disappointed.

wanya, ramel, Mcollough, Fields and Harris probably could have gone to most any place they wanted.

not going to blow smoke here, but it's just false to say that these guys weren't legitimately recruited by big programs.

many of the others that signed we were in pretty good battles with programs like Auburn and others in our peer group.

i think it's probably important to remember, that while it definitely sucks to see some of these big name guys go elsewhere (places they were committed to by the way), we have kept the core of this class together, didn't lose anyone we had committed, and will still be in very good shape to land 3 more big ones that could go anywhere they wanted in Wright, Crouch and Gray.

and who knows what happens between now and February.

prisoner of the moment, i get it. but it's just not as bad as some think. it's basically gone exactly like many thought it would.

Can you read? Chad Simmons and Bama 247. That's two sources.

And then yes, VQ said they were watching Eboigbe closely on the radio. They said this morning that TN was really swinging and had been for the last 48 hours. What do you want here? A rivals mod in Simmons said that TN had a legit chance. Bama 247 mods said that Bama was concerned about him flipping to TN. VQ confirmed that and said they were watching him. Then AV posted what he did.

What do you want me to say? Get over it dude.
