'20 TN DE/LB Tyler Baron (UT SIGNEE)

I understand the concern especially with the Jay Hardy situation but hear me out, VQ guys are pretty upfront Baron was/is a heavy Vol lean even stated an October announcement was likely but decides not to announce and is reportedly upset that everyone has him pegged a Vol now all this Kentucky talk. Something to keep in mind.

Obviously I'm a different generation but if it is TN and he knows it, I just can't relate to "my moment" instead of helping build the team.

Perfectly normal I'm sure, yet so foriegn to someone like myself.

I agree. But my opinion is that a lot of “big time” recruits will want a show. How many times do we see it. Coaching evals aside, going after recruits that are wanted by all the big programs comes with a territory sometimes. I don’t get it either but it’s hopefully a sign we are recruiting well.

Was wondering about what AV said and yeah, of course it helps. Still wouldn't complain about public recruiting though.

Like I said, I know it's common these days and I'm not singling out TB by any means. It's just harder for someone like me to relate to.
Someone that's never been interested in having "my moment".
Always more concerned with what the best plan is for the bigger picture. Just different times.

Not a fan of the "me" culture that surrounds recruiting. I hate how recruits disrespect the process, coaches, and fans. I don't understand silent commits. I don't understand the need to try and humiliate other teams by throwing around hats or whatever. But I guess it's a generation thing. I would prefer if guys took their visits and respectfully made their choice. But for whatever reason they like to turn it into a circus. I wish they would handle it more maturely, but, of course, that's not gonna happem. Guess I'm just old fashioned.

Same but to be fair, there's always been the kind of folks that do stuff like try to get on tv during news, sporting events, whatever.

And there's always been the opposite, those that duck to make sure they're not in the picture and just want to be left alone to do their job.
I was definitely always the latter.

Being in that "old fashion" generation, it has taken awhile to grasp how fast things move nowadays. There was a time we went from sat to sat not knowing what went on during the week with our teams, boy has that changed. As far as the "circus"....we all contribute to that circus via social media, forums and have to share in the blame for how some of these athletes feed our circus.

I agree...then I remember saying that all year about Derrick Wright last year..

Edit: duh....Darnell not Derrick...🤦‍♂️

He regrets that according to VQ. He was all set to EE and that would have at least helped some of the early stumbles. Better to land and regret at a later tho.

Hard for me to believe this is true simply because there's no way it would be legal. Tyler's dad would have a lawsuit if the terms of his employment hinged on the decision of his teenage son, and frankly, I don't think Pruitt would be that petty and dumb.

On what grounds would it be illegal?
