'25 NC OT David Sanders (Tennessee commit)

[UneducatedGuess]

With absolutely no respect, no.

I will appreciate your full apology.

I didn’t raise my kids to be like you’re generation of nail biters and pearl clutchers

I told you he was there talking to other recruits.

Wipe the Cheeto dust off your keyboard and go look in a mirror and ask yourself when you’re gonna toughen up.

seems to me that this kid could squash all the guessing in about 30 seconds buy just saying what is going on. a simple tweet would do it

he did. some OSU commit posted that he was going to flip. Sanders responded with the "nope" emoji.

not sure why anyone needs more than that? a three paragraph post to stroke the feels of the UT fan base wouldn't be any more definitive.

The AP bashing is so weird.

I mean not really. He gets paid to cover recruiting and give updates, but when the biggest commit of the class surprisingly visits the school that finished second in his recruitment and very well may flip he “doesn’t want to chat about it”? The criticism is fair.

We need a dislike button. This isn’t Jordan Seaton. I understand your point but you’re overreacting.

The last week in this thread has been almost nothing but overreactions.

He chatted about it quite a bit in multiple threads on Volquest.

Tom Loy’s article on 247 this AM:

“
However, last weekend, he showed up in Columbus for an unofficial visit to Ohio State. The trip went extremely well. Buckeyes fans were fired up, while Volunteers fans were sick to their stomachs.

All that said, despite the big push down the stretch by everyone associated with the Ohio State football program — in some ways led behind the scenes by five-star quarterback and future Buckeye Tavien St. Clair — our best sources believe that he'll eventually put pen to paper with the Volunteers.

Sanders isn't one to go out of his way to mislead, and we have it on good authority that he's still telling people who matter that he wants to be in Knoxville.”

This pleases me

I don't know anything about GQ.

GQ is a garbage dumpster.

feels like if he goes to OSU for the Michigan game, it's a done deal for OSU

if he doesn't, we should feel really good

and that's what it will come down to

 

[volbound1700]

This could hurt a lot since we lost that OT to Oregon as well. Could destroy the class. It is probably about NIL.

Why would he need to though? He’s peer recruited a lot of guys here. I may end up being shocked in the end but everything Sanders has done lines up with him being part of this class up until this last weekend.

I don’t think it’s “done deal” regardless if he goes. Definitely feel bad though if he does go to that.

AP doesn’t mind it long as you pay him. In fact I think he enjoys an occasional bashing.

dude if he goes to back to back weekends in columbus this close to signing day...

yeah i think we can pack this one up

Great news.............. Now someone needs to respond to that Buck fan and give him the business!

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

He's important. It would suck. But it wouldn't destroy our class.

Idk that any one recruit kills a class but losing Sanders would suck the most of all. Even over the QB position imo. There’s one position that it’s damn near impossible to add an elite player via the portal and that’s LT.

 

[deatojl]

They’re the same people who whine about how much the coaches get paid after any loss as if they’re the ones cutting the checks

And the ones who start their criticism of our starting QB with "the $8 million man".

yeah, it would be a body blow for sure....

OSU mods

OSU side continues to feel optimistic they can do this and UT continues to think they have a good shot to keep him in the fold

TBH not sure anyone has this one right now. He absolutely could stick. He absolutely could flip. I think this is as close to the vest as it comes though.

Yesterday the vibes were all OsU. Today everyone is panicking about Tennessee. Let’s just sit back and see how it unfolds

I continue to hear as of today (can change), Simmons is leaning towards a return (trip)

All I will say is that essentially no one knew he was going to visit last weekend so I have a hard time believing information has just started to become more readily available after the visit. This family keeps it close to the vest, folks.

Wiltfong said today on podcast that the family was taking Thanksgiving to talk about it.
