'25 NC OT David Sanders (Tennessee commit)

[sonofUT62]

Meanwhile, an AU team that is likely not making a bowl game is on fire on the recruiting trail. I can’t understand why we don’t seem to be recruiting at a higher level. We’re pretty likely to finish middle of the pack in the SEC. With our success under heupel combined with a strong NIL program it doesn’t add up.

Auburn would sell illegal weed in California or Colorado. They literally can’t help themselves.

 

[Skullbone]

Two years in a row. Ouch. Recruiting elite tackles is apparently something we're not good at. We'll adapt and move forward, but this is in fact a problem that must be fixed.

What will be Heupel’s and UT’s next move in recruiting that Sanders may indeed flip? Portal?

Middle of the pack in SEC is still top 10 overall.
Heup is known to recruit for the culture fit more - hopefully will result in more buy in- less off the field issues and less transfers down the road (guess the DBs didn’t get the memo though).

Bc some teams are still willing to go “that extra mile”. Auburn has always been one of them.

Money is God in recruiting.

Brother Freeze has the call girl operation running again. Hope he uses a burner this time.

I don't want to hear he's a class act IF he's not communicating with the staff this late in the process.

Also. If he goes "silent" or to the osu/um game, he's 100% GONE.

Wonder why TX and TAMU doesn’t have the top classes every year?

Welcome to the new world of recruiting. Expect drama like this to occur much more frequently now that these players are getting paid.

Just stop they have been getting paid for decades only now it’s taxed

Blowhio just lost another DL recruit this morning ("because of NIL") so I wish them a very unpleasant 20-point loss this weekend.

 

[atilla]

Don't get down folks, I am still positive......I just have a gut feeling this is a lot more than money. The Sanders family just seems different.... I think it is a matter where he wants to be and developed, so it's tough to tell where his mindset is there.

 

[butchna]

What if Nico asked Sanders what it would take to get him to Knoxville.
Maybe Nico would give up some of his NIL money ?
I know that’s crazy and it’s not gonna happen.
I’m just really wanting Sanders at UT.

Modern day Eric Berry paying his brothers tuitions.

Play the guy who was going to start anyway…Heard.

 

[LargePairOfVols]

May lose this guy but we will for sure get our share of these flips in the future. We have too much going for us not to.

Focus on developing the guys we have. Get some in the portal. We’ll be fine next year.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Last id heard AP said just wait...

what changed in last 12 hours, other than a merge from the wasteland?

Brent?

 

[KingVFL]

This isn’t done and I still think more likely he stays than goes. He’s still talking to our people.

Yeah and with a bigger bag. There was money committed to Sanders that can now go elsewhere.

Then his ass should have thought about that before he put on a public spectacle. He wanted the attention of a commitment ceremony but not the commitment.

We might have our disagreements but thanks for the info King

Fair enough.

KNEE

GO

[SGMVols]

Take it or leave it, but Basilio said a few minutes ago that there is a 90% chance he flips.

If Basilio says it, I usually leave it

He’s still waiting for Lovie Smith’s plane to land at McGhee-Tyson

 

[adam.vol]

Who knew that calling for Elerbee’s head for the past 3 months could shake up his recruiting?
