'19 JUCO DE Nick Figueroa

[MiramarVol]

CJP is selling the "Come to Tennessee and Build Your Own Brand". He's showing the recruits that it is a business and how he will help them get where they want to get to "the league". That is coupled with a bare bone depth chart and a chance to play early. It's hard to pass up for most recruits. That's why we are in on these guys as late as it is (ESD is tomorrow) and we got them visioning running through the "T".

Assume we'll start hearing about several of these guys on the fence by later this evening??

 

[jakez4ut]

probably.

Absolutely. Whether they actually are or not

 

[Nashvegas31]

The smart business decision is play at TN for him. Usc is going full offense so that defense will be toast with Klingsbury on other side

I know all the analysts keep talking about distance, but that post-visit interview makes me think we have a very real shot here.

 

[Catbone]

I like this guy. Hope hes a vol

No, I don't think distance is an obstacle with this kid, either. He says he may as well get used to traveling and being away from home now because he wants to play in the League one day.

 

[bignewt]

I hope he realizes its tough being a DE in the pac 10 these days.

 

[Fullfillmer]

Anybody but me uncomfortable when the interviewer starts asking about Southern Cal. I don't think it is the right time or place ( if it ever is ) to start talking about other schools. Kind of like when they tried to pin Fields down to confirm that he was going to be at Georgia next year.

Something slimy about those questions to me.

they're standing in the airport while the kid is waiting for a flight. whatever you're going to ask, you better ask it, and it's not slimy to ask about the other schools he's considering. you're tyring to get a feel for where we're at relative to those other places.

it is what it is.

SEC Football Website Papparazzi - Guess they gotta eat too....But you’re right, Figueroa was getting tired / frustrated at the questions in the end..

Considering it would take a time machine to get there, I guess so.

Payton looks like a real possibility. We’ll see about Figueroa. I think Tennessee gave him plenty to think about coming off his official visit to Knoxville, but will it be enough to pull him away from the West Coast? We’ll see.

[VolsnCards5]

It has to be a near perfect storm to pull a kid from West Coast.

I’m ready for some thunder

 

[vols 30]

Distance is an obstacle....imo

 

[Ron Swanson]

This kid is going to be a Vol. So is Payton.

 

[jakez4ut]

Distance is an obstacle....imo

not according to him. he was asked point blank about distance, and he said it wasn't an issue. not sure that i expected him to say anything different, but they way he was answering questions, i think he was probably being pretty candid with his answers.

 

[vols 30]

What an intelligent and well spoken young man. He also seems very mature and would fit right in here.

I think that would fit in anywhere

I think he will stay home. It's very difficult to move across the country like that

He is a juco so its not like he is a kid. He is a big boy and big boys do it all the time.
