Seeing Niedermeyer's tweet, you can just tell he is full of hatred for UT. I guarantee you, he was in Tate's ear telling him don't come here. He'll do the same for any IMG athelete. Recruiting that school just got a lot harder. Hoped he was better than that. Wanted Tate, but we'll get someone and move on and cheer just as loudly for the new kid. Would say i wish him luck, but I could care less honestly. Only luck i wish for is towards a Vol.
There’s ways around some of this. A lot of vehicles will be on lease terms. About to see more of the Wild West probably bc everyone knows the ncaa is impotent. The income part of course will favor us, Texas and some other states.The tax man is gonna have his hand out wanting his portion of a 200,000 vehicle/income. This may create a scenario where players will get suspended for tax evasion… hopefully they get educated
Tony..."This was a real kick in Tennessee's jewels when they realized late last week that Tate had slipped away. Sometimes you can do all the right things in recruiting and still lose out on a prospect. Is that what happened here? Tennessee wined and dined Tate. Spyre and Josh Heupel went all hands on deck and still lost out to Ohio State in the end. John Brice on WBIR opined last night that it came down to NIL and Ohio State won out over some stipulations that Tate wasn't going to agree to. Sad thing is Tennessee KNEW they were getting him a month ago. The reality is that NIL aside, Ohio State is a tough out with wide receivers. With Brian Hartline there they are the new wide receiver U. It is what it is. Look at the last couple of NFL drafts. The Carnell Tate deal is something that truly happens to you if you're Tennessee and you're just not quite there. Even if you have more money in your kitty. This is one more reminder that though Tennessee looks like a big boy and has big boy toys it's just not back. Not yet anyway."
