'25 NC OT David Sanders (Tennessee)

[nicksjuzunk]

I'm not sure there's any headache here. It appears he's signed, just wants to wait on his teammates to make it official.

I remember the same thing said about Cade and Cooper Mays ️

 

[JFBanicki]

The guy wants to bring some attention to his friends signings. Sounds like the type of teammate we need. Im sure those kids are nobody’s in the recruiting world and he wants to give them a moment they can remember forever.

I'd move on from this one. Take that money and grab talent from the portal. Let him be someone else's headache.

Can’t build an oline using the portal. See Okl for how that looks.

I'm giving up on you and moving on. Go be someone else's headache.





*Note - I don't blue font my sarcasm. Suck it.

Because people who are leaving their old school to chase more money aren't a headache to their old team?

I've been told by several on here that you can.

 

[Weezer]

Also, 3 of our 5 starters were from the portal. So I guess you can build a partial OL from the portal, maybe.

Bingo. He's a being bro to his boys.

Yeah. That would be a smart move. Let's walk away from the 5-star offensive tackle that's about to commit to UT because a bunch of Volnation posters have their panties in a twist.

Please tell me this is pure sarcasm. You cannot be serious.

Nice idea Coach Dooley! Now what about shower discipline?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Yeah. That would be a smart move. Let's walk away from the 5-star offensive tackle that's about to commit to UT because a bunch of Volnation posters have their panties in a twist.

Yep. God forbid the young man want to have his own moment during his recruitment.

 

[Vol423]

How does a second-rate clinger have enough sway to influence Sanders to sign or not sign if Sanders indeed wants to sign with Tennessee? If it isn't directly from him or his family, I just don't understand the level of influence of someone outside of that circle can have if it is directly against the will of the most important person involved; David, himself.

It sounds more like a Stage 5 virgin clinger.

 

[VolArmy74]

If we do eventually sign Sanders, he better be an immediate impact player or he'll catch extra grief after all the drama of his late recruitment.

 

[VolByLaw]

When can I stop checking the board religiously for a certain fax from a large individual named savid danders?

Just stop. He doesn’t need to be an instant impact player. Who is he gonna catch grief from? Whiny keyboard warriors on a message board? Give me a break. Ideally Sanders red shirts. It’s incredibly difficult to start as a true freshman in the OL in the SEC.

 

[walkenvol]

how is it a headdache if he's already signed?

If the next 2 seasons he’s threatening to enter the portal in an attempt to modify his NIL deal then it will sure be a headache then. The 9th hour theatrics with his camp don’t instill confidence in his long term commitment. No wonder some veteran successful coaches keep getting out each season - I’d sure hate to be dealing with this every year.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Amazed at people trashing a kid for not signing his paperwork on THEIR insecure time table. Then we turn around and accuse the KID of being a drama queen. Wow.

 

[VOLociraptorr]

Anyone else remember thinking Seaton was the pinnacle of drama.

Whomever is milking our collective is putting a stain on this young man

 

[GetEmVols]

I thought David has a great head on his shoulders. This unnecessary drama right before signing day proves that was false. I’m sure still a great kid but this is a small ding in how mature and put together he was for his age. Our coaches shouldn’t have to be wasting resources on keeping this guy when we have many others to try and land.

Like I said. Unnecessary drama

 

[orangebloodgmc]

Eh, it'll soon be forgotten, I reckon.

 

[VolArmy74]

Eh, it'll soon be forgotten, I reckon.

It won't be, we still hear Nico getting grief for the amount he was paid and he's been entirely drama free from his commitment onward.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Before I incite panic, everything is apparently fine. This morning someone from his group gave us a “and one more thing” request (around timing of first NIL payment) that sent things into a spin. It was briefly an “if you don’t do it, he won’t sign” moment, but that fire was extinguished. It did not come from Sanders or his family, but someone who is a benefactor of some money. It’s getting hard to track what all these creeps do or why they are involved. Separately— The kid wants to be a part of the team event and that’ll in a way that allows him his moment, even though he already had one when he originally committed. All this torture aside, I’ve been assured it’s done. I assume it’ll leak out or be shared officially by Friday.

Luckily, you having confidence in Sanders’ long-term commitment to the Vols is 100% totally irrelevant.
