Morning update from CU Rivals

Crouch update:

2. Technically, Charlotte (N.C.) Harding high-four star athlete Quavaris Crouch broke the news early Sunday morning of his secret Tennessee unofficial visit, as he posted pictures on his Instagram feed of his arrival on campus.

We then first shed light on what it all meant – namely that not only could it not be ignored, but that it appeared to spell bad news for the Tigers, per our immediate intel.

Rivals.com regional analyst Adam Friedman and I later concurrently flipped our FutureCasts from Clemson to Tennessee off our collaborative collection of information.

And so the avalanche began.

To add to our initial report, we can tell you that Crouch made Clemson's staff aware he might be visiting Tennessee during the weekend. So that didn’t necessarily catch the Tigers off-guard.

Clemson has been courting Crouch as an outside linebacker. We also have reason to think Tennessee has framed to Crouch that he would take a back seat there at Clemson because of its depth, whereas he could join some of the Vols’ more recognizable commitments – like Wanya Morris as foundational pieces to Tennessee’s rebuild.

The pitch has resonated.

Yes, Crouch has talked before about eliminating schools because he wanted to play for a team already competing for championships. But many prospects are impressionable – some more than others, mind you – so it’s not like a drastic change in tune ever stood to be out of either character or question.

If you’re Clemson, the foreboding sign came in the form of the door being held open for Tennessee to come in and make that pitch.

Our reports in recent weeks – maybe months – have suggested that Crouch had taken shape as a battle between Clemson and Michigan. Such sentiment didn’t simply arise from reading tea leaves.

And frankly, we had probably oversold Michigan’s standing because of the golden Crouch rule: Our longtime disclaimer that his recruitment shouldn’t be treated as done until it’s formally over.

We’ve alluded to one of the key variables in Crouch’s recruitment amounting to which voices around him carry the most weight.

Well, Tennessee tight ends coach Brian Niedermeyer appears to have pushed the right buttons there.

As Friedman reported, it’s now uncertain whether Crouch will officially sign this week. He has intended to go public with his decision during the Jan. 5 U.S. Army All-America game in San Antonio, Texas.

Thus by our own rule, we can’t totally write Crouch off – particularly in the midst of smokescreen season.

Yet we’ll come back to this regarding the trust factor:

We can confirm Crouch was to inform the winner of his recruitment this past week.

Let’s just say we know whom he didn’t tell he was coming.

I wonder if anyone informed JC that Clemson is also recruiting him as a LB?

Bingo. And he’s right - because even Hubbs has hinted that many programs don’t see Crouch as a take due his injury history and a little bit due to the people surrounding him and his attitude.

It wouldn’t stop me, however. I take him in a heartbeat and try to get him a redshirt year. You don’t pass on that much raw talent.

I was fortunate enough to meet the young man and it was all "Yes sir" answers. I was so starstruck when the conversation was over I forgot to say nice to meet you and he reached out and we shook hands again and he said "nice to meet you, sir." I think the bad attitude is bs made up by fans of the schools left out in the cold and unfair to this young man. I've met plenty of prima donna recruits that wouldn't give a fan the time of day and he isn't one of them!

The delusional morons thought they had QC in the bag for over a year now because of "his relationship" with South Carolina Running Backs Coach Bentley. 🙄 You want to talk about cheating when Bentley was the head coach at Byrnes High School he was illegally recruiting players from all over the state of South Carolina to play for Byrnes. We can't help he was a better recruiter at the high school level than in college! 😂

Suddenly, Tennessee is in great position for 4-star athlete Quavaris Crouch. Getting Wright on campus with Crouch was key, too, as the two top prospects have quietly developed a real relationship over the last year. I hinted earlier in the week that Tennessee should not be discounted for the Charlotte native. The Vols felt like they had a real chance to make a strong surge at the 11th hour, getting the final in-home visit + convincing Crouch to come hang out with Wright, Wanya Morris and the rest of the Tennessee’s commits and targets. By all accounts, the visit has completely flipped Crouch’s recruitment, with Clemson now on the outside looking in.

The question remains when Crouch plans to make a decision. Will he sign early and try to keep it quiet or wait to make a final choice at the All-American Bowl on Jan. 5? If he delays a decision for three weeks, then Tennessee is going to have to hang on to its momentum here.
