Let’s stop recruiting kids from Tennessee completely. Go get kids from GA, NC, FL, and up north that actually want to be here then whoop everyone’s a**es with those kids, maybe in a few years they’ll get a clue

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

This one was obvious for a long time. Don’t even care.

Hands on this site would blister from all the hand wringing.

 

[MadWorld]

Don't want if his parents could not even spell Dallas correctly. Or Allen.. or whatever... nvm

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

It's sad when you have to explain such things. The older I get, however, the more often it happens that way.
Me: <insert cool movie reference>
People younger than me: <blink> Ummm. <blink>

Same way with the music. They just don’t get it.

Is he just hellbent on playing in the big tin?

 

[Rylee_Vol18]

Family mad cause we didn't take his big brother?

 

[butchna]

Keep recruiting the best players...everywhere but Wyoming...**** Wyoming!

No, Aaron Hayden loves this staff.

No JH recruited Chase hard at Mizzu. Dad is a fan. It is just allowing his son to make his own move. This isn’t like Wades if they pick KY. This is proven system at Ohio St churning out NFL players vs unknowns at TN. Sucks but if he picks Ohio st it’s hard to be upset at him about it

That's a fair enough statement, however it doesn't explain the Illinois official IMO. It's one thing to say OSU is in a spot to 'get theirs', Illinois...not so much. If he decided to go OSU, it's a "business decision", Illinois? That type of visit either says, he's already picked his school and is going to spend the weekend in Chicago, or that he's hellbent on playing in the Little 10 (ie: not confident in his skill set to play in the SEC).

Illinois is getting an official because Chase is there now. He played for Bielema his freshman year at Arkansas and transferred to Illinois from ECU after last season. I would guess the Hayden’s have a great relationship with Bielema.

Good call - I hadn't kept track of where Chase had landed. Or Bielema for that matter. Thanks!

 

[Blake25p]

Before y’all freak out (too late) but AP has said from the start Dallan will take all his visits before committing. tOSU obviously leads but at least Dallan giving teams a chance.

Maybe we can promise to take his brother as a transfer

Speaking of running backs, Dallan Hayden is set to zoom with Tennessee later today. He sat in on Tennessee’s practice last week virtually as Tennessee tries to stay in the mix there. He has three official visits set up with Ohio State, Notre Dame and Illinois hosting him in June. If he is to take an official to Tennessee it likely won’t come until the season. As of now he plans on taking his official visits before making a decision. Of course that could be subject to change but he and his family have been pretty adamant about that plan for the last several months.-VQ

Feels like he’s always been heading to OSU and his recruitment is a waste of time. JMO.

Give it some time. Not saying he’s picking UT, but I am of the opinion he’s going to make certain because of his family’s love for UT.

One of the top QB’s a lock to the Vols... fire clown shoes and he goes to Bama

One of the top players who is a legacy whose father loves the staff... gonna bounce

This is life as a Vols fan

No. They like CJH a lot. But it isn’t about his dad. Anymore than it wasn’t about Kevin Mays. This guy Just likes Ohio St more than Tennessee.

We are not going to have problems attracting offensive talent once we take the field. But the blue chip players are this close to committing...and we are the middle of a super long dead period and NCAA sanctions.
