This is from Rob Lewis, a poster on VQ asked if he did any digging on the Hale rumors...
"I've done a little and what I've found out is that nothing seems to be very far along. I think Tennessee may have reached out to Hale in the last couple of days to just see what was up, but feel fairly certain that in no way did Tennessee instigate anything or try to 'entice' him into looking around. I wouldn't be surprised to see something develop, and it's worth keeping an eye on but I have not gotten the impression that Tennessee is working overtime to get a commitment out of him at the moment."
