‘23 IL WR Carnell Tate (Ohio State commit)

[bigl3327]

Good point. Also could be true. I have to say that I think you are one of the more reasonable posters on here. We have our share of crazies, but you seem to keep it in the road pretty good.

Thank you sir. I do enjoy your commentary as well.

Everyone leaks.

Just want a little control on it...

His mom wants Tennessee and he wants Ohio St.

NSD could be interesting

...checking to see if Mom's birthday is in December or February...........

Why is he dropping so much in the player rankings?

 

[LittleVol]

The issue with a leak is that the current team he's committed to has a chance to work on preventing the visit. Especially if the recruit was trying to keep things quiet before the visit.

...fair point

 

[LittleVol]

Really wish we were hearing these same type of rumours except with Noah Rogers

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

He’ll be in this weekend

Not holding my breath. He just wants to see a good game for free.

Well he picked a damn good one

Not holding my breath. He just wants to see a good game for free.

Well he may be so blown away by the TSIO in Neyland that he reevaluates his choice to go play in the MUSEUM they call the Shoe.

Tate is supposed to be here but so was Faulk until FSU shut it down. There are no definites on this stuff.

FSU shutting it down should tell you everything. Same with Tate.

Vol lock?

Could be a sign he is going to flip to TN

Is everything free on an unofficial visit? I thought when a recruit took an unofficial that the recruit had to pay for everything?

"Pay for everything"

Follow up question for Mr AP:

How does a school “shut down” a recruit’s intentions to visit another school? Did they give him more NIL? Threaten his NIL? Threaten his spot in the class (this seems least likely considering he could just throw up the deuces)?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

"Pay for everything"

Yes pay for everything like going to a game. Does he get to go for free even on an unofficial?

 

[MarcoVol]

Depends on who’s asking

Just guessing, yes.

He has to pay for his transportation, his accommodations (can stay at an enrolled student's place), and his food. The university can still purchase tickets for the recruit.

Why is he dropping so much in the player rankings?

Well, since the point he didn't pick us he has been dropping. We've historically, based on the research posted here, had the biggest risers post-commitment. If he wanted to be ranked higher, guess he shoulda picked us haha

 

[Big151Orange]

Nick is coming right?

Well, I’m guessing since he’s the HC of the team we are playing, he’ll more than likely be here!

 

[GVol1966]

I mean I get it but if Ohio State tries to threaten him he should just laugh and do it anyways. Now if OSU simply just reassures him in a sensible way, it is what it is. But this stuff leaks 99% of the time.

Recruits like him can tell OSU and UT to shove it and go play anywhere else and get paid big NIL money

 

[GVol1966]

On his own dime? Why? When he could watch it at home or with his friends? And yes he had legit interest in us.

I don’t know. I’d go watch Ohio St play Michigan any day they both are ranked in the top 5. And never have the slightest interest in going either place.
