'19 TN CB Maurice Hampton

[butchna]

Does Casey Kelly come to mind? We passed over RG3 for him.

Did we? Or did we offer him as a DB like the other UT...and HE passed?

 

[BJHSVol]

Dumbazz ended up being drafted 9th overall with 5 million guaranteed.

I would say the injury potential between a DB and a QB makes the decision a little different

Called my LSU buddy, His future is with baseball. Will sign with MLB team. Will not go to college. Sounds like a free trip to Knoxville.

So he is not a take for LSU then.

QB’s get HIT...especially dual threats like Kyler. DB’s do the HITTING.

Makes you wonder why CP would give up a OV spot to someone who has made it known that baseball is his sport and will go when drafted? Unless Hampton has given CP some kind of hope.

We don't have ov spots to"give up". The recruits do. They can take 5.

I phrased that wrong my bad. I knew that. I just really meant why offer someone to come on OV that looks like will never play a down in College.

 

[jakez4ut]

Gotcha

Actually, UT is only able to host a set number of OV's each year.

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Hampton is tentatively scheduled to officially visit for the Alabama game. The corner has yet to make it to Knoxville, so we’ll see if it actually happens, but Pruitt has not slowed his pursuit of the two-way star.

Hubbs

Actually we do. Can only host so many OVs

To give the kid something to remember if he's struggling to get out of the minor leagues and wants to give football a go. Hopefully Pruitt would be the first coach he calls.

gotcha. didn't know that, obviously...lol.

Thought about going, but decided to drive up for the Florida game instead. Thought we had a chance in that one, much less confident in the AUB game lol. Not sure if you're into baseball, but LSU games are pretty enjoyable. I went when UT was in town earlier in the year. Hit me up if you'd want to catch a game.

 

[3rdDegreeVol]

gotcha. didn't know that, obviously...lol.

Football can host 56 per year (Aug 1 - Jul 31). You can carry over 6 unused from the previous year.

[jakez4ut]

keep hearing that he might show up this weekend for an OV? heard anything on your end? @Big Gucci Sosa

He is supposed to but VQ mods are doubtful because he has been so hard to get on campus

 

[jakez4ut]

yeah, that's kinda what i last heard on the radio as well. super long shot anyway.

 

[LA Vol]

The reason Hampton might visit this weekend is because the UT baseball team is holding a fall scrimmage/exhibition game Saturday AM against Bama. So Hampton could visit with the baseball and football coaches and players the same day and see both teams play. Both HCs are in touch with him-- still no confirmation he'll be on campus, though.
