FAFO is a great lesson. Can’t be a borderline guy and play stupid games.

The big problem with waiting is you give programs a chance to shop in the portal for several weeks. If a program stumbles across a player that is more ready to play, especially those with multiple years of eligibility, i think they'll go that route. It will be interesting to see how the Vols approach and fill that spot.

agreed. i'm not sure this kid got the right advice......tottally outside looking in, but on the surface, it almost looks like he doesn't have a spot.....anywhere....right now.

 

[Christian Lowe]

If we pass and UF doesn't want him, probably ends up at South Carolina would be my guess

 

[Manchester Vol]

Bye-bye, koala bunny

 

[DaddyChad]

That’s Austin Price speak for “We aren’t going to put a lot of effort into hanging onto this one.”

Probably will depend on who shows interest in the portal. But yeah I doubt he ends up here.

Someone will take a chance on him. Just depends on portal which is like you said terrible for a borderline guy.

well, i think if they were already sold on him, even as a developmental guy, they'd still take him right now. that they're not, and apparently, neither is anyone else, tells me they ARE going to the portal. who knows though. it may circle back in Feb and he does wind up here?

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

Tbh, I still hope that we get this guy even with the drama. I think he's going to be a lock down corner, especially in the endzone on those fades to tall wideouts.

Nah. All it takes is one to create a cancer in the locker room. If you smell a rat, best to stay clear.

 

[Go Fight Win]

i think hes a very athletic kid who unfortunately does not have sec speed

that's ok, we will be fine without him

 

[BelievetheHeup2022]

I think the 2025 class as far as HS kids is a wrap. It's portal time now

 

[volpride1998]

Any chance Onis could add weight and play safety? Possibly his speed would be SEC at safety vs CB? Or is he not physical enough?

 

[Frankwillie87]

I'm curious.

Onis is listed as an early enrollee, but didn't sign publicly with a team. How is that possible?

As far as I can remember, Florida has a school system that lets football players get on campus earlier than most other programs, but sign later. Whereas Tennessee does not. Can he just show up to bowl practices and start playing even though he didn't sign exactly on ESD (as far as we know).

 

[Volfan76]

Damn gitshirt this late in the game

May be getting one from Florida, too

Play stupid games....

INT or some other big play against us in 2027.

Calling it now.

Hope not. I can’t handle losing to South Carolina living here lol

 

[LittleVol]

Well, you can rest easy now: there will be no tea and crumpets in the film room.

You have no idea how RIGHT you are

 

[LittleVol]

Do you think the late drama for him and Shaedy was related to our late push for Merritt? Chicken or egg?

Nope.

We wanted Shady and Merrit.

Shady was a big Star position.
While Merrit was a CB or S.

Neither one was a threat to the other for a spot

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Nope.

We wanted Shady and Merrit.

Shady was a big Star position.

Neither one was a threat to the other for a spot

Has there been a clarification on his reference to being mislead? Thought it might have been us adding another DB late. If not, what?

 

[TheMookieMonster]

He had a chance to sign with a playoff team and come be better of a rising program, and instead he messed around and now not even Florida may want him. Another good lesson in the NIL era that’s the juice isn’t always worth the squeeze.

Nothing indicates Florida does not want him. They wanted him to sign early and are now expecting him to visit after the dead period with his mother who lives overseas.

I don’t think anyone but Shady knows that.
Because it’s a lie.

He just wanted to sign with Florida.

Indeed sir.

He wanted to get paid.

 

[LittleVol]

He wanted to get paid.

Yeah but I’m pretty sure Tennessee had a comparable offer.
This dude didn’t vibe with the rest of the recruits because they all went in on him when he decomitted.

I think he made the best choice for him.
Florida needs him more than us.

Yeah there was no going back after the entire class pretty much told you to screw off. All the reassuring commitment posts kinda burned that bridge.
