BTW to all those people that think I am overreacting or us fans are overreacting. I have complete faith in CLK and the Big Orange HOWEVER, when one of our most dynamic recruits starts waivering and all the negative attention we are receiving in the media it weighs on you. Seastrunk said what many recruits think "image is everything and they don't want to be guilty by association."
You are overreacting... even if your worst fears come true. However this kid has been actively recruiting for UT for months.... and even this week.
If he visits elsewhere or even signs elsewhere, it will be fine. He needs to be sure of what he's doing.
While it can cause recruitaholics alot of heartburn, I personally appreciate that CLK encourages commits to take their trips and be sure of their decision. He knows that UT and his program aren't for every player.
FWIW, Seastrunk is either willfully or blindly ignorant. He's considering LSU... guess he never heard of Perilloux? He's considering USC... enough said. He's considering Oregon who had one of their thugs very publicly cheap shot an opponent early in the year only to be reinstated later.
If UT's coaches had still been in his ear... he probably wouldn't have made such an ignorant statement.
