'24 GA EDGE Kameryn Fountain (USC commit)

[DaddyChad]

After the rant momma made, I'd be shocked if she could justifiably walk that back and her son commit to UT... She'd have to make up some BS about USC and something they did to turn them off...

Nah it’s easy, she just says Tennessee reached out and answered all their questions about academics. She overreacted to a troll on social media. Easy fix

Not if we the fans burn all the bridges between here and there before hand!

That's what has happened imo. Unfortunate.

What if the guy who tweeted was an 18 year old?

...or one of the many posters here on Volnation that simply act like they're 18 years old (or younger actually).

Laughable.

Even USC was surprised he committed as quickly as he did. Interesting that given the time spent recruiting him and how close they felt like they were he just suddenly commits to a school across the country and shuts down his recruitment? Again this one doesn’t pass the sniff test.

Just a little background on me and my high horse: I lived in Jackson, MS in the period of forced desegregation. I attended predominantly black intercity schools during elementary and junior high. I know first hand what a "hood" education looks like. After my father kicked me out of the house, I ended up enlisting in the Army because it beat living at the city mission. After the Army I was able to get an engineering degree and eventually start a successful business. Yeah, I'm ignorant.

Not ignorant imo.

Those would be the obvious and correct things to say.

Irrelevant. It was a stupid tweet

There are always flaming idiots on the internet, who in no way represent our program or fan base. It is not a good idea for a recruit's parent to get involved with them.

The kid has natural ability. That is certain. I would stay far far away if I was Tennessee. Sometimes, people show you who they are. Be thankful and glad and move on. I remember a recent UT RBs mom who was a problem all the time. The stories about this woman would make you cringe. Sometimes, it’s best to just move on and let the clowns go find a circus to perform.

His mom made a stupid and disingenuous post. Not him tho.

He doesn't seem to be a bad apple or anything. We just lost to USC. So did UGA and LSU.
We've already got Lindstrom who is exactly the same type of player. Then there's Franklin, Nwaneri, and a host over there dudes at those spots.

No reason to paint this kid in a bad light.
Or...to just continue to talk about him in general.

I agree with everything you said there. With Lindstrom's motor, there's a good chance he'll have the better college career.....But it would have been nice to have both.

Agree here. I would shut down pursuing him but he is a great talent. If he’s this impulsive in decision making though. I’ll be surprised if he’s not in the portal in a few years wherever he lands

He is the one making decisions. If he told the staff one thing and then does another, it’s in him. Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. His mom is just as bad. Having a parent that causes problems or a player that causes problems is horrible for team chemistry.

Tennessee football has record-setting spring in the classroom

“We always stress to our student-athletes that how you do anything is how you do everything and that’s no different in the classroom and our community. I am really proud of the commitment of our players academically for the entire athletic year. To produce a record GPA last fall and surpass that mark this semester illustrates their drive to continuously raise the standard. It’s a credit to our players and our Thornton Academic Center team.”

That's a reason for the short-sighted and impulsive not to attack him for a week and in a very public place, to boot, if you think about it.

If you figure out how to control the masses and idiots let me know. Every fan base has them.

Sometimes people TELL you exactly who they are. Players include. Time to move on. He has a ton of maturing to do and it’s not gonna happen on mom’s watch.

It has nothing to do with Chat GPT lol

Tennessee has also had great dialogue with Jordan Ross and Kameryn Fountain of late. Tennessee is playing the long game with Fountain and hopes to get him up for an official visit this fall.

I figured the Fountain bridge was burned. Momma don't want him going to an idiot school.

Wonder why the coaches are wasting their time? People on here have told me the recruiting timeline has changed and once a recruit goes to another school, regardless of the month, that it’s over and there is no chance of flipping?
