This might be a little bit of a hottake but it appears to me our plan of "work" is just to get these kids to reclassify. Can't say I am a fan of this tactic but maybe it pays off in the long run

Worked with Burns, and possibly now with Cone...it’s the new hot thing like graduate transfers were 3 years ago, just creates another opportunity to add guys to your roster.

Iirc it's how we got Turner also. Course he still had to sit a year.

I think we can say it worked with Turner. Too early to say on Burns. I know we have presented it to a number of recruits and some it's turned off. Again maybe I am wrong

I mean worked in landing them, never know how someone is going to turn out but as for landing the player it has worked with Turner, Burns and potentially Cone.

Who did it turn off? If it turned them away then they were likely never coming to Tennessee anyway and it let us know that sooner rather than later.

Kessler isn't even listing us as a player now and I heard johnson wasn't fond of the suggestion. Now hopefully we were solid enough with him it won't matter but it's a touchy play to call imo

That’s great with Kessler, instead of stringing us along even more we were able to figure out he’s likely waiting on blue bloods and have moved on...why continue wasting our time?

I was told the opposite, Johnson would be a Vol and getting ready to enroll if his school had cooperated, but they let him know it wouldn’t be an option if he wanted to graduate from Webb...that shut the idea down pretty quickly.

Not sure what’s touchy about it...”hey man we’ve been recruiting you for years, we have an extra scholarship that opened this year, any chance you’d consider coming to college a year early”? Not sure what about that would offend anyone?

I don’t think we are pushing him to reclassify, but others are.

I feel confident your info on Johnson is incorrect in this case

This is wild. Bill Mott is correct, if this were a maiden claimer on a Friday in October, Maximum Security would be disqualified, hands down. I hate to see this happen though.
