OFFICIAL VOLS COMMIT LIST as the LOIs come in -- 2/4

i don't understand why you all are drinking all this caffeine and sugar. it's 10 am. aren't you up anyways?

I love caffeine and NSD! I went to bed at 2:30am and was up at 6:30am. I could not sleep because I was really excited about today's events (no matter how it turns out).
 
FYI, I got a honorable discharge cause both my mom and dad died in a car crash while in training.

Back to NSD

Jesus, that's tough. That must have taken some strength to get through. I hope life has taken some better turns, man.
 
Nothing yet on Nu'keese. A Florida Rivals site is reporting it but nothing official.
 
Greenwood, SC paper on Sam Montgomery...
Montgomery said Tuesday after Greenwood’s boys basketball game that LSU, Tennessee and North Carolina were the three finalists in his recruitment but that none of the three schools was a favorite and he wouldn’t decide where he’ll play college football until today, National Signing Day.

He will announce his decision this morning from Charlotte on ESPNU.

I’ve got some people to call before I make my decision. I’m probably going to call them right there on national TV before I even pick up their hat.”
 
I just got my first and second text messages. Big news: Nyshier Oliver and JerQuari Schoefield have signed! I love up to the minute info.
 
We seem to be coming up short on the bigger recruits so far and according to all reports we have lost the biggest (MB) to our bitter rival UGA. Why?
1) Obviously too much distance in too short of time by the new coaches. Though this didn't hamper Auburn this year or Saban in 2007.
2) 5-7. Face it right now UT is not a winning program. These kids were 7-8 years old when we won our last SEC championship. Other powers like Michigan and Notre Dame are having less than stellar recruiting results. Top recruits want to go to a winner!
3) Poor recruiting decisions. In Marlon's case I guarantee you that Mark Riche had him and his grandmother in the largest and most friendly church Of Christ in Athens on Sunday morning during his recruiting visit and had a player and coach sitting in the pew next to him. Kiffin will need to learn in the South, in contrast to the left coast, that religion still is important to recruits.
4) Alienating the media. Mediocre or not, it is important to have the local and regional media on your side. Hopefully Lane will tone down his in-your-face attitude and patch relations with those guys.

Marlon was a huge recruit for certain, but Teague is the most important in my mind.
