'22 GA RB Justin Williams (Cal)

[SLICKYINC]

Auburn is really making things hard for Tennessee. Not only with the JUCO DBs but also with Justin Williams. I’m well aware this post will cause a meltdown but I also don’t want to turn a blind eye toward it either. Tennessee is still very much in the thick of it but Auburn has given the kid pause after talking to a few people last night and early today. This one is going to go all the way until tomorrow morning.

All for a coach who doesn’t even want to be there….wtf

4 Rivals FutureCasts in last 24 hours including one from Christian Clemente, who works for Auburn Rivals site

I'm gonna chalk this one as them just trying to give Vols fans some drama on ESD....because that's what I want to do. No questions at this time.

This is unbelievable. If we miss on Williams then we have whiffed on every single target. Every one. This is an early warning sign that what we were told about Heup and recruiting might be true. Disaster finish

Any time they visit Auburn late they're going to be a threat. Be glad Squirrel canceled his visit last weekend, but I wouldn't be surprised to see he is trending to Auburn later today.

Forces drama. Not buying.

Ehh, Pruitt pulled highly touted recruits and couldn’t win on the field.

I’m glad we have Heupel who can actually coach and develop players.

What exactly is it about the Auburn offense that inspires confidence? Auburn looked worse than their Guy Malzahn teams and their coach is trying to bolt. Just makes no sense.

Seems like the typical AP approach prior to signing day to get more clicks/views.

I honestly think it’s just Cadillac. Kid loves him.

I’ve never seen a staff at Tn whiff on every single target on signing day

Yeah…. I don’t buy it either…. He is a Vol!

It is worrisome… But let’s pray this kid sticks and comes here. If not, it’s not gonna look good for this staff.

 

[ClasslessVol]

At this point, while I think part of the whiffs lie on the staff’s recruiting skills, I have to believe a lot of it lies on negative recruiting. Tennessee has a kid in the bag, and a coach (i.e Bryan Harsin, Mark Stoops, Beamer, etc) gets desperate and claims at the last second “well, Tennessee’s about to have a 5 year bowl ban!!! You don’t want to play somewhere that can’t play in the postseason do you???”

I mean, M'Ba seemed like a near lock this time last week. Then suddenly at the 9th hour he tells the staff, “yea I don’t think i fit here sorry”

Yep. Agu same. Tolan was in also. Now look. They’re all gone. Even Williams? AP talking about Illinois beating us for Jacas, a freaking Tulane commit What in the world

I hate auburn.

We’re really losing Jacas to Illinois? SMH

 

[head1]

You can tell he likes Cadillac but he loves this offense. Tone and demeanor changed and you could hear his excitement talking about this offense.

Vol.

Every target? I do believe you need to look at the commitment list again. Before this year Heupel was recruiting to UCF, not exactly a destination for most 4* players. I don’t see a warning sign at all.

Yes. Every target

I'm not ready to say Williams is headed to Tennessee. I still would say the Vols are the favorites, but as of last night I don't believe he had completely made up his mind on where he's going. He's definitely one of Tennessee's best options going into Early Signing Day.
