I think he's visiting SCAR for the UGA game in Sept. Not sure if he'll be in Knoxville for the UF game or not. It doesn't seem like he's in any hurry.

I wonder if he's just building up suspense and commits soon? Didn't someone say he was set to commit over the weekend but his family wanted it to be a surprise?

I was thinking this. I think he’s already a commit and just waiting on his announcement. And yeah, the whole “was gonna commit this weekend but wanted it to be a surprise” drives this my thinking a lot.

I don't know if Tank wants to it to be a surprise as much as he wants his moment in the sun. Since UT had so many commits this weekend, Tank would have shared the spotlight with several other commits including multiple DBs. Now waiting a week or 2, he doesn't have to share the spotlight with anyone. At least, that's what I hope is going on. I really what to see Tank, Beasley and Fields terrorizing WRs and RBs in a couple of years.

From McCollough's interview with Austin Price:

“I want to be sure. I'm more than likely going to take my visits and then make a decision after those visits, sometime around my birthday in October. That's what we are looking at. I'm just trying to be sure. We might have the Florida game circled for an official visit to Tennessee.”

I said one of the three... Bush, Hill, and McCollough was going to commit this weekend... then marker confirmed that it was McCollough that was going to then backed out wanting to wait... I believe because he said, his family said they wanted it to be a “surprise”.

Gotcha! I couldn't remember exactly what you said, but I remembered your name being in his thread a lot. I think you bring good info on here, Caleb. No gripes from me.

so we didn't plan the BBQ event and there wasn't a goal to have a bunch of players commit?

you misunderstand. i'm talking about the ultra concerted efforts to coordinate the commitments with an event like that. i think everyone does that to a certain degree, but usually if you're asking a kid to hold off it should be because you have several irons in the fire (and so should the kid) not because you want to "look good" or have some good PR.....which our last staff was all about.

the event itself, yeah, is all about continuing to make that impression with prospects, get to know your peers in the class, current players, coaches etc....the event is NOT set up BECAUSE you've pre planned a bunch of announcements.

Guys... we have 4 spots left...

We're in on BIG targets at this point... some have nationwide attention, want to draw it out, and plan to commit on NSD... some are a while away... some have a date set that may or may not get pushed back... they're all mid to high-4 and 5-star guys and they're going to draw their recruitment out for a while....

We're more likely to load the next cannon in the coming month(s) than days...

So take a deep breath... probably going to be a while before we get any more booms... do not worry... don't start the BVS bs again cause your commit addiction is acting up, the big ones are what's left... and they will be worth the wait ;)

I think it's very likely we drop some commits too before said and done. I'd say 4-5 committed won't be a part of this class. Hopefully we close stronggg.

Absolutely! Plus the VQ Mods and Coach Mathews said Pruitt plans to sign 25. Which would mean using a few Blueshirt's. Would be nice to not have to borrow ahead so we have a full 25 in '20, but the numbers will work themselves out.

Blueshirting is impossible with the 25 signings per academic year limit, effective for the 2018 recruiting cycle. Grayshirting can still be done.
