Nothing unexpected, but a couple of recruiting developments have taken place over the weekend in regards to Tennessee targets:

- Four-star DB Antonio Kite committed to Alabama this afternoon. The Anniston, Alabama native had taken an official visit to Tennessee last weekend.

- Edge rusher Jared Badie committed to Illinois this morning. He took an OV to Tennessee the weekend of June 18. Badie was also considering Minnesota and Michigan State.

- Three-star OL Patrick Kutas released a top four that did not include Tennessee. The Christian Brothers product in Memphis listed FSU, Arkansas, Illinois and Oregon as his top four. Vols tried to get Kutas on campus this summer, but he never made the trip.

- Three-star DB Jaylen Lewis committed to Arkansas on Saturday. Not unexpected, but Tennessee did pick up its recruitment a smidge for the Brownsville, Tennessee recently. Multiple assistants had reached out, which was a change after very little interaction prior. UT didn't make his top 10 in May.

- Tennessee did, however, make the top 5 for in-state DB Anthony Brown yesterday. Vols joined Arkansas, Indiana, Wisconsin and Illinois. Brown took an unofficial to Tennessee June 10.

- Five-star RB Branson Robinson will announce on July 22 between Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia.

That Kutas news is crazy…I thought he was a heavy Tennessee lean.

Agree mostly. I have no way of knowing his future arc as the CEO, but I’m confident he won’t be negative. A plus in his short history as a HC is that he hires his coaches and let’s them coach. Not always an advocate of the HC calling plays but at the very worst this is the best OC we’ve hired since Kiffin and may be his better as far as innovation. What I like is that he first worked with Ellarbe at Mizzou and the man followed him to a smaller program to work for him. Quality assistants buying in gives one confidence.

If she jumped before she KNEW anything, she would truly be in the wrong…instead of the contrived version.

You are missing the point. As the senior executive responsible, she launched an investigation using outside resources. Without questioning if going outside immediately was prudent, you run the investigation in a way to obtain an interim report facilitating the decision to terminate (or not) at a time the business needs. That was at least two weeks earlier and the results tend to confirm that as well imo. Virtually everyone conceded the timing was poor.
