We had a previous 2 year domination before 2017. Stand by my samples...you’re welcome to yours.I also gave one that shows several years (head-to-head since SEC expansion). But you wanted nothing to do with that. Instead, you pulled a 2-year sample size for Mizzou and an unspecified one for KY (I assume that was implied to be 2 years also?). I just think when comparing you should use the same sample size, otherwise, the analysis is useless. If they are both 2 years, then it is 1-1 against KY and 2-0 against Mizzou. I wouldn't consider 1-1 having a firm lead over KY as a program. Regardless, it doesn't matter. Long way to go to compete with the big 3. Hopefully, it comes sooner than later.
Im not going to say too much out of respect to the family the Wade twins since my son is good friends with them.
They like the campus atmosphere @ Kentucky and Lexington is close to the twins’ family in Ohio.
I’ve been to Lexington many times and would still rather spend most of my time in Knoxville.
Neyland Stadium is one of the best in the SEC. Kroger field is nothing compared to that with all due respect.
I agree wholeheartedly with you. However, we wear orange tinted glasses while the Wade family has always been Buckeye fans with minimal allegiance, if any, to UT.
I opened the Pandora box by posting earlier and don’t want to be known as a person pretending to be an insider of UT athletics’ program. However, I know these kids and 80% confident who they will commit to.
Here are reasons for KY (agn, I’m not saying they will commit to KY tomorrow).
1. Keaton was initially not sold on UT, Destin was.
2. KY advised Destin he could compete for QB position ( I don’t see it but...), TN as an athlete.
3. They built immediate rapport with the KY staff
4. There was initial concern with all the hoopla @ UT, including possible sanctions.
5. They rather go to the same school.
6. Very family oriented, including extended family.
I thought they were committing Friday. Has that changed or is this old woman’s mind is starting to hit the portal ?I agree wholeheartedly with you. However, we wear orange tinted glasses while the Wade family has always been Buckeye fans with minimal allegiance, if any, to UT.

Little kids every day dream of playing big time football in a grocery store. I don’t blame them
Awful decision by these two. Probably not that important the class anyways.
These are the kids that can barley remember the Lane Kiffin debacle as crazy as it sounds and most of them had not even started school the last time we played for the SEC.At least the PWO’s are pouring in.
Truth is (and a sad truth) none of these HS kids have ever seen Tennessee put a good product on the field in their lifetime. Never.
UT is like NC State, Kentucky, Arkansas, etc....to them.
I’ll bet good money that 75%-85% have never heard of Reggie White, Tim McGee, Keith DeLong, Travis Stephens, Travis Henry, or Charlie Garner............they don’t care about the past.
