'21 NC DT Payton Page (Clemson commit)

This is Graham's chance to earn his keep among some very good recruiters. To steal this kid away from Clemson would be a massive coup.
Bigger for Jimmy brumbaugh given all the DL prospects that will be here. Shelton Felton too.

Nieds to a tad lesser degree.

But big weekend for our new defensive coaches with these big time prospects.

Who is his friend he brought with him this weekend they was talking about on the podcast Friday, Shaw for the 22 class, supposedly top DL for that class and is massive.

"It really changed how I think about Tennessee," Page said. "How the defensive line coach thinks. He experienced and is a 3-time SEC All-American. He taught me a lot. I was in there learning from him. I asked him like 20 questions."

Tennessee running backs coach Jay Graham is the main recruiter for Page, but this visit wasn't about the Concord, North Carolina native. It was all bout Brumbaugh and how they meshed.

"He wasn't uptight," Page said. "It was natural talking to him. Usually it's kind of awkward talking to a coach because I never had met him. I felt like I had talked to him before."

The loss of Tracy Rocker was felt in the Page recruitment, but he didn't let him effect him. He wanted to get back over to Tennessee and today he got to get a feel.

"It made me a little shaky because I didn't have an idea who he was," Page said. "I found out his story and I was like wow that's crazy. He was real smooth."

So today wasn't about facilities and photo sessions. Those things are nice, but talking ball with the staff made today very enjoyable.

"I really like this visit to Tennessee," Page said. "It was all about the defensive line coach to be real. He was talking to me and I was loving his vibe."

Several North Carolina prospects have committed tot he home state Tar Heels in recent days. Page has seen it but been unaffected by it.

"That has nothing to do with me," Page said. "What other people do has nothing to do with him unless it's a defensive lineman. That might effect my decision."

So how did today change things for Page?

"Some spots that I can't really say," Page said. "Switching around some things."

He will take his officials this spring and summer and then start to work toward a decision. He knows what he's looking for in a school.

"How many defensive tackles are going to be there and who the coach is," Page said. "I'm not really worried about the school. I'm not worried about the history. I'm worried about who the defensive line coach is and how I get a long with him."

I agree with you on this. They try to get the majority of their class to commit early and get them done long before signing day.
Imma just call it now. Clemson gets tired of waiting and goes after Katron Evans or some other 4-Star, we get a silent out of him in August and he plays up a top 3 of us, UGA and North Carolina to pick us on the early signing period. And all of our fans will be worried for 4 months despite us having an 100% crystal ball on 247

EDIT: also by that point they will have dropped him to a 4 star and made whoever Georgia got a 5 even if he was barely a top 200 player 6 months prior

Nailed it. I’ll take the bait and ride this puppy all the way to signing day. Shake and bake
