Premium position. You "overpay" if you have to for elite guys at premium positions. If he doesn't choose the good guys it won't be bc of NIL imo. Hopefully we win out at the end.I don't know if the kid is so much torn. I think he knows where he really wants to go. I think this is more about external forces, and wanting to make the right decision for his family. This is where NIL can suck for a 17yo kid. That's a lot of pressure put on some of these recruits that wasn't there before. There is life changing money being promised to some of these families now.
We’re working to get him in.
Somewhat related but the family does like Nebraska more than has been reported. They might weirdly be more competition than OSU right now.
That said, the more the competition changes the more I feel good about tennessee. This isn’t a Jordan Seaton situation.. this is a mature kid
He’s been to Tennessee more than any of his other finalists by a decent margin. Wouldn’t shock me if he snuck over to Nebraska just to triple confirm or something. Or maybe we lean on him and get him to come back again here.If he’s taking visits but nothing is scheduled to UT, wouldn’t that typically mean he’s leaning elsewhere?
Or is he not definitely taking visits?

Does that include OSU not working hard for him?Not sure if he picks us or OSU, but it will be nice when we don’t have to work so hard for top tier recruits. UT has been on him hard and doing so much for well over a year and a half. OSU kind of swoops in the last few months and pretty much looks like the slight favorite for now. All the top schools ( UGA, Bama, OSU) seem to not have to work as hard for so long for some of these guys.
