If that’s the case, definitely sounds positive but maybe some of the other insiders who popped in here yesterday might have jumped the gun a bit with their excitement. Sounds like we could be in for a last second nut kick where momma gets what she wants elsewhere or someone does drop a bigger bag.

From my limited understanding, the mom couldn’t visit because she tested positive for Covid. She’s apparently genuinely a mom and not a handler. From everything I’ve heard, he was exhausted after the back to back visits and wants to decide this week. Anything can change, but I know one of the other “insiders” talked to the same person I did. I know USC and Ole Miss have both tried hard to get a visit. So far, no visit.

Looks like SF didnt drop the info he, Heard was accurate. There's a good Zalance we're still in this. Guess we'll see what tran-Spyres.

I held off on the puns as long as I could.

I have no idea what the ROI is but the possibility of an enrollment explosion is there. Saban had that effect on Alabama after their first title with him. We saw a huge enrollment increase after the 2022 success. This is why the academic side should support the athletic side as both can benefit.

So this is fan opinion reading tea leaves Eric talking not any inside information.

But as I've followed this one and from what I've gathered is that the money has been very good this whole process. But we/Campbell were not keen on the idea of promising/offering up the LT position which was a huge deal to Heard.

If you listen to pod and followed all the comments this weekend RT was all that was mentioned for Heard. Yesterday something had to have changed. The VQ staff mentiioned that our staff handles the portal very transparently with the current players and has meetings with the players to discuss additions. I am GUESSING that somethign like this happened and Campbell is willing to slide to RT to help the team. Maybe he is getting an NIL boost to make this worth it for him?

But for the first time through this entire process last night as soon as we started to surge the VQ staff started mentioning Campbell to RT. That has to matter IMO.

This is tea leave reading once again, but I hope this is the case and this one gets closed out and if so our OL will be in a good place for 2024 and will have a huge piece locked in for 2025 as well.

Man if true that would shoot Campbell right up the VFL barometer. After announcing coming back even with JMIII moving on, this would put him right up their with some of my favorite Vols.

That would go against everything I've heard about CJH and staff. Now that he could compete for LT, I would believe. That he would be the heir apparent (not a promise) to LT in '25, I think. That someone besides Campbell will take some snaps at LT during the year, I would take as probable. But giving him Campbell's spot before his first practice, I doubt. I would even doubt that Campbell has been guaranteed a spot before the year starts. He just believes he can earn it.

I feel good about it, but it’s not done. His mom did a call yesterday with coaches yesterday, and I think the perception is that she was the last hurdle, and it went very well. I know several schools are trying to get a visit. If he doesn’t schedule one today, I think we’re in a great spot for good news.

my theory pretty much got shut down by SF so I'm back at square 1.

Hoping and trying to keep out of it.

When you’re in a pickle sometimes you gotta be flexible. Especially when it comes to landing an elite multi year starter.

If Ole Miss pulls this along with what they've already done, there's definitely something going on... No way they have this kind of money and momentum to offer except the chance to have a great season with the easy schedule.

They were doing the same thing before HF got fired. I suspect LK will run afoul of the SEC here soon.

Also: walker howard was never at LSU when he was there, how could they be so close? We literally have someone in his family on our team. I’m not saying he ends up here, but that just sounds like a load of BS from their end.
