[Redleg68]

That was sort of his expected timeline to begin with, so not a surprise there, but that’s obviously confirmation of at least a general timeline he has in mind.

I still think Clemson and Tennessee are the two teams in the best shape with him. It’s a three-team race, with North Carolina also in the picture, but the Vols and Tigers are the two teams we’ve continued to hear about most. Clemson is the longtime favorite, but as we’ve mentioned recently, Tennessee has made that one much more interesting in recent weeks. I think the Vols have a legitimate shot, but the Tigers still feel good about their chances, too.

Going to be an interesting battle down the stretch. Hopefully we’ll get a better feel in the coming days for which team might have the upper hand, but wouldn’t surprise me at this point if he picked either Clemson or Tennessee.

Sat there with my head in my hands for about five minutes. Still wondering why we did not run a couple of more plays and try to get closer. We had the time and timeouts.

I know.

Still my biggest want of the class,with Tony Grimes committing on the 30th if he picks UNC I wonder if it has any bearing on Page?I wouldn’t think so but UNC has had some momentum,and just like us all it takes is a couple dominoes to fall and make sumone re-think a decision.Still think it’s a Clemson/UT battle but anything can happen in Crootin.

Yep, but our injured field goal kicker went out there and kicked it into Cody’s stomach twice.

Same here. I was the lone Vol sitting five rows up in the Alabama alumni section. Bought the ticket for face value out front, still don’t know how. Everybody was very polite until the second half. Had a 40-something woman turn around and flip me double birds about three inches from my face while I was singing Rocky Top. They were not polite after the block. I stuffed about four or five pouches in my mouth and sat in disbelief. We coulda had it. Daniel “Stinkin’” Lincoln had a hamstring issue and had been line driving his kicks IIRC.

And Crouch

I almost forgot, Katron Evans also. Clemson has only offered two DT’s in ‘21 class. Evans and Page.

"I would guess along with Mims and Mondon"...do you have 2 minds and one is keeping a secret from the other? Or this some Memento shiz?

he's been all over campus the past two years.... it was news to me that Clemson was in on him last year

 

[MoB_MoVols]

“It's been the same conversation with Clemson but it's getting more intense just because we've been texting more and talking more.” Page said. “I’m glad for Tennessee because they're getting all these great players but it's not going to affect me that much. The coaches want me to play a zero or one technique. I have some friends that are going to North Carolina, especially Myles Murphy. “It's going to come down to what school I'm comfortable with and is real with me,” he said. “I want to be comfortable with everything.”

Page isn’t the type to open up too much when it comes to talking about the inner workings of his recruitment. Reading between the lines and indications from sources now point to Page’s recruitment coming down to Clemson and Tennessee. The Tigers were considered the early leader but Tennessee and North Carolina closed the gap significantly earlier this year. Now Clemson seems to have regained their momentum due to their increased communication with Page and his family. Expect a decision in the latter portion of July.

Crap..

 

[jakez4ut]

Crap..

eh. nothing really different than what's been said the past couple weeks. clemson likely leads, TN making up ground....don't rule out NC.

pretty much status quo. just a different name on the byline.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Clemson wouldn’t go undefeated in the SEC.

 

[butchna]

Friedman always writes this crap.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

Clemson is putting increased effort into talking to him more so they therefore have all the momentum--great logic.

Friedman always writes this crap.

somebody's gotta do it. always seems someone is willing.
