'19 TN ATH Adonis Otey (ARK Commit 8/1/18)

No. I think Pruitt's candid convo with Otey and Knox actually helped. Both are eager to come and showcase their skills in front of the staff. We'll see what happens with guys like Woodi and Lance. I think Anderson could ultimately return to camp, too.

2019 DB Adonis Otey tells me Tennessee & Jeremy Pruitt have re-offered him. Otey tells me his relationship with this coaching staff is much better than some think. He will definitely be camping with Vols as already been reported.

Otey was probably not a top target for the new staff at first, but I think both parties now are more open to one another now. He’s planning to camp at Tennessee next month, which I think is important for him, and if he has a good showing there, he could end up being a legitimate option for the Vols. There’s definitely been a bit more mutual interest between them recently. But they’re still battling for other CBs, too, so I think they want to see him in camp for sure.

I like this. You’re wanting to double check on a guy to see how he stacks up against other talented players which means fewer misses on recruits. The player, if he’s hungry, revels in the competition and feels like he has something to prove, which is a major motivator. Win win, IMO.

Another update on a Tennessee-based prospect considering the Vols as Adonis Otey tells me he will will be on campus next month. Otey said he's been in regular contact with the Vols coaches and is looking to get back to Rocky Top to spend more time with Terry Fair and the defensive staff.

"I want to go up there and take a visit and talk with the new defensive backs coach Terry Fair and also spend some time with the other defensive coaches like Coach Kelly, Coach Pruitt and Coach Coach Fair, Coach Kelly, Coach Pruitt and Coach Sherrer. I was just there for a visit and got to spend some time with Coach Pruitt but I really want to spend some time with the other coaches. It's been nice since they go there, they have been keeping up with me and coming by my school to check in during spring as well."

Looking forward to seeing: "I don’t really have to see much. I’ve seen everything. I just want to talk to Coach Fair and them because they weren’t there the last time I came to campus. Coach Fair seems cool and laid back. He seems like a coach coach to be around. I want to talk to him about how they would use me and how I would fit and everything."

Others set to camp with UT’s staff at the end of the month are several in-state prospects. Lance Wilhoite, Adonis Oteyand Woodi Washington are all at Ohio State this weekend. Washington is still noncommittal on whether he will camp for Pruitt later this month. He goes back and forth but has indicated to some this past week that he will indeed come up. Trey Knox, Zion Logue, who picked up a UGA offer at camp this week, and Gyasi Mattison all plan to camp later this month. Mattison continues to see his name gain more traction with a very solid spring.
