You have been that way ever since you joined Volnation.

He gone!

Going against the opinion of every industry expert as of late...

 

[Devo182]

Also the same guy that said Nico and many others were "gone", we could only land a guy if he is a 2 or 3*, and thought we should put Joe Milton at RB

I don't even have the words for this f***boy.

Tifwiw a VQ poster...asking AP but no response yet

on his instagram live he said he's trying to commit in the next two weeks

That might not be a bad thing if he’s not responding and giving it away

AP glossing over questions like that has historically been a very loud answer.

That usually means the video was made during his last surprise visit. He did bring his mom and grandmother on that visit.

AP’s silence is good news imo. He has stated before things like “don’t see him coming here anymore or TN is falling behind.” He said on the podcast that he will not ruin a kids moment by sayings something that that kid had told him.

Yep. He said he will not spoil a kids moment.

AP has been saying mid June so that lines up

It's hard to say. OSU apparently making a strong push too. Mods still seem to slightly favor us. Tbh I thought we might be more ahead than "slightly" after our visit. Sounds like a tight race.

Sooner than later still sounds good for me. Though he just called OSU WRU...who the hell knows. Think he likes both genuinely.

He’s always been that way. I’ve always respected that, even when he’s been gitty about a recruit.

I think he is committed but we will see.

It’s so different in the recruiting world now than in years past with NIL. No longer is about just following the visits. We no longer know if the NIL is the pushing point for a school until we do .

As of a few days ago I have heard we are still in the driver seat

That's true. He had visited OSU a crap number of times early on...ND was a major player, then suddenly he became interested in us after the whole Nico thing. As a UT fan ya gotta love NIL...for now

I have no doubt of driver's seat. But 60/40 or 70/30 leaves a lot open. Not long ago we were the ones in the 30/70 position. Gotta close it out! Would be big time.

Considering he told the Ohio state WR coach Go Vols during a phone call I feel pretty good. Money talks though if Ohio State pushes

Lol when was this?

Lol when was this?

Within the last week or two

From a recent article, I think it's OSU in need of funds. If money is the deal, we'll close it out. OSU has recency success and WRU push over us right now, obviously. NiL is 100% in our favor, the on-field success on theirs.
