Will be interesting to see if he brings this drama to whatever locker room he occupies. Nota fan of the “moment” drama.As you said, they're a great program. They're almost unchallenged in their league. Annually a threat for the playoffs. They presently are WR-U in college football. They spit out WRs to the NFL like baseball players spit out sunflower seeds. They're MUCH healthier as a program than UT right now. If Tate doesn't go to the buckeyes, it will shock the hell outta me. And frankly....and I'm gonna go old man/front yard here....with each passing day, I care less and less about Tate. I'd be much more upset if he were an OT, LB or CB. Our system will flourish with 3 and 4 star types at WR. Hell, it will make 3 star guys NFL players. Our system doesn't need 5 star types like Tate to be successful. Sure, he'd be a nice addition from a perception standpoint, but I'm not worried about what he does or doesn't do. Just wish he'd do it and get it over with. Sick of the entire process surrounding him.
The key word in your post is KID. No matter how big or fast they are. They are still kids. Let him have fun and have his moment . They only get to enjoy this once in a lifetime. Well maybe twice with the portal now open.I love how fans make the kid to be a drama queen when he’s literally not said anything or strung anyone along. It was always indicated that he was going to do it on his on time. From everything I’ve seen he’s been pretty respectful to each fan base and not doing sly stuff to get a fan base thinking he was going one way or another. The labeling of a kid is stupid
Let's review the record of what I have said on this subject. As can be seen below. 1. I am in no way conceding this recruitment. 2. I've already said the SEC was the strongest conference, has been for decades. 3. I'm not in any way saying Tennessee isn't a historical peer of Ohio State, I'm just saying it's laughable to say Ohio State isn't in the top historical group also.What does the past matter? Tennessee has a pretty great history, too. Sure, we're coming out of a bad period, but lets not pretend we're some second rate chump school. Now, let's address the present. We play in the toughest conference in college football. I'll give the Big 10 second place when it comes to toughest conference, but if we're being honest, it's a pretty distant second place. So I'll give OSU their due, but don't act like Tennessee is somehow less than OSU. We're not.
I would be worried if Tate started putting out pro UT stuff on social media. As long as it’s OSU stuff, I think he’s a VOL.
AP said a month ago he was going to go quiet and make a surprise commit announcement. He said Tate didn’t want a bunch of CBs ruining his announcement. All of the recent CBs have went to OSU. If he was going to pick OSU now is when he would be putting out pro UT stuff to confuse.
This sounds delusional lolI would be worried if Tate started putting out pro UT stuff on social media. As long as it’s OSU stuff, I think he’s a VOL.
