Translation: Why did Tennessee fall out of the top 4 with a loss, but Georgia wouldn't, should they lose? It's a fair argument.

More than fair. We were #1 and lost to #3. If they lose, the Team who beats them will be lower than 3. . . mainly because of their win over us.

I was sitting across from this guy at my wife and I's high school reunion talking football (all Vols) and this guy, I didn't know, said he had a grandson playing at Brooks High School in KIllen, AL.
He also said that Tennessee was his favorite team but had no attention from UT about playing there. He is in the class of 2024. He has written to them and went to some games (I think) and really wanted to play here. Here is the thing, Alabama has contacted him twice and wants him as a center. Below is the link to his 2022 highlights.

Carson Wheeler's High School Timeline

I didn't know where to steer the guy. I have a lot of respect for this board. I am asking you to watch his highlights and comment on what you see and if you have any advice to give him, post it here. I saw him playing center, guard and def. tackle. If there is any interest shown for him here, I will notify his Dad and he can read your responses. I love young people, especially those who dream.

It’s funny you bring this up as I recall someone taking to Coach John Chavis (Chief) yrs ago at the Spring Hill golf tourney sponsored by Rotary Club. Keep in mind, this was yrs ago. Anyway, someone was talking about a high school kid that was an elite talent. Long story short, Mr. Dante Hightower signed w Bama four yrs later and had one heck of a career. I would think it would be difficult for a program not to find talent w the number of scouts (GAs, etc) and social media. Keep us posted.

Don’t be bringing facts and evidence into a Joe Milton debate. Remember he sucks, cannot improve and will be terrible for us next year.

Pretty much the same people with the same methods giving him serious grief over that pass into the endzone last year EVEN AFTER the following screenshot showed a TE who broke of the route, had little elevation and had the ball whiz by his hands. It could have been thrown a little slower, but it was not a bad pass. it was just not a great pass.. Here it is for reference.

Edited to change the screenshot to a better one. Notice that with the receiver even less elevated AND the fact you cannot see part of his left hand because of the ball. This was epic negavol material cause several referenced this ball as clearly uncatchable and others piled on, one i think indicated it was so high it ended up in the stands.

2023 RB Commit Stallings Backs Off Pledge to Vols
Click to expand...

Had to go digging to even find this kid...

6'0" 222lbs (good size) RB/LB he committed June 19th originally and today he decommits (likely recruited over)
California Kid a 3 star with a 247 composite of .8625

Would have been one of our lowest rated guys and likely buried on the depth chart at RB or LB...looking at his other offers I don't think we're going to be missing out.

Auburn On3 mod on a potential Kiffin deal. The second point is bewildering.
— The numbers on a deal with Kiffin could be even more than what I anticipated, we’ll see…could be the full 10-year, $10-plus million annually (I’ve heard as high as $12 million annually, but can’t confirm that number).

— It’s entirely possible that NIL incentives are part of any deal Auburn makes, but especially with Kiffin, where a certain percentage of NIL monies go to the head coach annually.
