'24 MS DL Kamarion Franklin (Ole Miss commit)

[csprig9]

Sounds like all Tennessee from that quote

This went well lol

 

[Deebowbear]

I didn't want Freeze anywhere near the program with the NCAA already lurking.

He will win big at auburn they will cover for him watch and see

 

[Dadof2Vols]

I didn't say he didn't take any money. But he came out and said IF it was the only thing he would be at UT. at the time we were a dumpster fire, and TAMU looked to be on the way up. Its like us asking about why kids are going to Florida right now instead of us.

What Nolen Meant was if NIL was equal and if Garner promised not to ride his ASCII then he would have went to UT but Garner would not give him a hall pass and he wasn’t willing to be shown his weaknesses.

I don't doubt that, but we were already under the microscope. We know he's not scared of Saban, so that's a plus.

I thought we would get him as well

Yea that was honestly the main reason I didn't. And there's no way we could have hired him, these sanctions may have been much worse if we had. But based off just pure coaching and recruiting, I definitely wouldn't have minded back then. But looking back, definitely not.

A recruit just changed his mind right before his commitment and flipped it to auburn. Wonder how much Freeze threw at him.

It was that or SCAR money withstanding I’d chose Auburn even if I’m not getting an ultra big bag

I’m so grateful for who we have leading this program. CJH is such a good find and it seems like he is loyal and appreciates what we have in Knoxville. Plus, he’s a better CEO in my opinion. We dodged some bullets with who was on our board…

Even if they weren't lurking, I don't want Freeze anywhere near our program.

Kam will be a Vol!

 

[CAVPUT]

I want to believe....desperately.

 

[wmcovol]

I can’t imagine Tennessee would have been spared a bowl ban if Hugh Freeze had been hired behind Pruitt. They’d probably got two yrs.

A&M paid his family through the nose. Tennessee was never close to offering the same money much less more.

 

[DaddyChad]

This kid or Nwaneri is probably the most important need left. If you somehow landed both. If we’re in fantasy land throw in Ross and Fountain as well.

If we land just one of those 4 I’ll be happy. 2 and I’d be thrilled.

 

[Volfansince1980]

I still think we get Franklin

No one cares about your opinion

I will be honest. Freeze was the guy I wanted.

Wish he would stop using we in his posts

 

[VolNash17]

I will be honest. Freeze was the guy I wanted.

In this age of NIL there wouldn’t have been any roadblocks for him. He’d have been legit although his teams sometimes crap the bed against lesser teams here and there but you also know he knows how to crush Kirby and Saban too so there’s that

Not a leader of young men. DW would never

probably the amount he was looking for all along.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Walter Nolen, #1 recruit nationally and from TN, came out and said if it was only about NIL he would have been at UT.

its not the slam dunk you think it is. and it doesn't matter if you bring in talent if they don't fit for some reason, like TAMUs great class.

He was also extremely overrated and I doubt Tennessee was willing to spend much on a lazy DT who lays on the field on half his plays and is going to be a bust.

He had a pretty good Fr year

I know. The main reason I wanted him was because he beat Saban a couple of times. Heupel beats him in year 2
