Wish in one hand, and.. yeah you get the point. Letting in-state talent leave will come back to bite us.

We aren't letting him do anything. He is actively choosing Florida over Tennessee. The best case scenario is that he comes to UT and does well. That doesn't seem likely. So I hope he does absolutely nothing at Florida. That is not a bad bet since they have about 20 other recruits lining up to play there that can do what he does just as well. It is his choice. If he wants Florida then I wish nothing but bad things.

This is America and you do have a choice. We do not know the kid and why he may/may not choose the Vols/Gators. It would be ignorant and low to wish a kid bad luck just because he doesn't pick "your" team. I hope he is all Vol, if not I will be disappointed but I wish him the best.

And that is your opinion. Play for the enemy and you are the enemy. I should add that I am only speaking of football and not the rest of his life.

Acutally - CPF's recruiting kind of dropped the ball on him. The kid wanted, and would have accepted, the offer to play at Tennessee had we offered him a scholarship when we did Allen. The same reason we lost Allen is why we're so far behind on him - UT coaches didn't stay in his ear. It's common knowledge around my parts that Allen shied away Tennessee because A) He wants to get a few touches a game, and UT didn't utilize the FB position, and B) After his commitment, UT coaches rarely ever did so much as to place a call to a household in Paris, TN. When I say Paris, TN, I mean Teague also. All Tennessee had to do was get a sweet package deal in Allen and Teague while staying in their ear to reassure them that they wanted them to be in orange and right now we'd have both on our verbal list. Now, I WILL say this - Teague, at first, didn't seem to be the big recruit that he is now. A very strong senior season factored into his status. I will say this, without a doubt, and I believe that unbiased people unlike me who have seen him play will agree - Throw his stars and his ranking out the window. When you see this kid play, you know he's going to be special. Now many things can factor into his talents, and for all we know he could have a career-ending injury covering a kick on scout team his freshman year at Florida and never play again. BUT, the chances of that are unlikely. Hopefully Kiffin can work a miracle and get this kid here, but I promise that wherever he goes, he'll make a difference.

Marsalis might be a good player here in Tennessee. But when he gets to UF there is a very good chance he will get lost in the shuffle between all the 4* and 5* recruits they have. Alot of their 2nd string players are better than what we have starting for UT. Hopefully Kiffin will rectify this problem.

If he goes to UF, I will personally throw tomatoes at him next time we play them........:dance2:

People are selling his chances short based on his stars. Meyer wouldn't be recruiting him so hard if he didn't think he could contribute. Also, he's right on the cusp of being a 4 star now. He's the highest rated 3 star Athlete.

"Coach Kiffin is a real cool guy," Teague said. "I don't care what side of the ball I'm on, but all the ways they are planning on using me is interesting."

Teague could play on either side of the ball in college. Florida wants him for defense, while Tennessee wants him for offense. He says he's indifferent to which one he prefers. He just wants to strap the pads on and play football.

"It really doesn't matter to me," Teague said. "I played only defense my sophomore year. I then moved to offense and did both my junior year. I didn't play any defense until the playoffs this year. I will look at the situation and what will get me on the field the fastest. That's the biggest thing to me. I want to be able to contribute."

If Kif wants him to play O here, do you guys think he will play in front of our current WR's along w/the recruits coming in? Stokes, Brown, etc.

I think even if he comes here, he will be a DB. He may get a few touches as a RB or WR, but Special Teams is where he will excel.

I hope he comes-- I'm worried though, competing head to head with Florida is dangerous when half our staff is unknown.

i dont believe it does, considering Meyer is well known to play his freshman.

Very true. However, Meyer has buckets of 4/5* kids Teague would be competing with.... I believe Kiffin will play a frosh and there aren't as many studs on the hill at the moment.
