'25 NC OT David Sanders (Tennessee commit)

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

So no drama except what was manufactured on here?

Appreciate what King brings to the board, but it seems to me he was stoking said drama.

Honestly on3 manufactured most of the drama.

We fired poor Elarbee and Sanders had already signed. We should be ashamed.

Why wait, overreact now!

On3 said there was nothing to worry about before King came on. I am in the same boat as Vol in Buckeye Land, I really appreciate what King brings but he seemed to add more fuel to the fire than anything

No different when a player signs and the coach leaves for another opportunity shortly after lol

I have said multiple times I think he ends up here but there is drama going on. People on our side aren’t happy.

Forgive me if don’t want to believe that.

Drama is good for their business model

That’s not really the case, I don’t think. Wiltfong came on early and said that Sanders hadn’t signed (he said there wasn’t anything to worry about later), and the AP posted, deleted, and reposted saying watch to see what happens, etc. I think King was commenting on all that.

On3 really seems hard up to drive clicks.

The drama came from the vagueness of the "He won't sign today" tweets coupled with all of the behind the scenes drama that is already going on tbh

 

[IndianaVol]

Sanders waiting to do this with his team says a lot about the guy, his integrity, his loyalty, and character.
That's what has impressed me most bout Heupel and this staff - they go after the guys that aren't only great players, but have a level character.

 

[Backwards K]

Did he hear it from his donkey?

If more of y'all had paid attention in Sunday School, this post would be getting a lot more appreciation.

Keep bringing info

That wasn’t Keith Jackson’s line, he was talking about that line in Tennessee’s national championship game and remembering General Neyland’s famous quote Touchdowns follow blocking like night follows day. In Christ Alone I agree! GBO

you are correct forgot about our historical Coach saying this. he also said this in Sugar Bowl 85 Vols team.

 

[cncchris33]

What doesn't make sense is the drama around the signing. Even if we choose to believe the signing ceremony with his teammates bit, it still doesn't make a ton of sense that he doesn't just come out and reaffirm his commitment and intention to sign with Tennessee at said ceremony unless there is some additional behind the scenes drama that has taken place.

While he never has outright decommitted, he has allowed for the creeping doubt to exist based on his visit to OSU and the media narrative that followed. If he's solid to Tennessee and excited about signing, then just make that known and put the rumors to bed.

It's weird when I try to put it into historical perspective, but the last three seasons the greatest amount of drama has been surrounding the premier OL recruit (Seaton, FM & now Sanders). At least we're getting this one, but when did OL become such a safe space for drama queens?

 

[Vols1117]

Yep, just like Lawrence and others that were life long UT fans that ended elsewhere because coaches didn’t think they fit their scheme

Lot of talent got away, helped Clemson win their championships

Been here a long time. It's usually the vagueness about the posts that lead to the uproar and rumors. It looks like the "drama" is he took a UOV and tOSU is making a run with NIL. Of course coaches aren't happy about that.

Isn’t that just a normal day on VolNation?

Nah. Not really.

He’s been pretty positive on Sanders all week.

I’m still not going to be happy until we see him put on the hat

 

[brockytop]

Unless I misread the quote, the high school coach flat out said players would sign today but the ceremony would be next week to accommodate everyone.

 

[MemphisVol3]

I think he’s already signed but there was likely some sort of drama earlier today. Based off King, VQ poster, and SF.

 

[LowKey]

Drama is good for their business model

They are probably paying him NIL money.

Eh, we can still fahr Elarbee.
