JOEY'S ALL VOL !!! said:
It's not your fandom or passion credibility that is a letdown, it's your content of information. I personally didn't and still don't care if Russell and UT unite since there are better players still available, but I do recall your over and over guarantees of Russell being all VOL ! ... yeah about that content ?

This is a recruiting board. He told us what he knew. He brought the passion of his conviction. Same problem every year every time, everyone whats to know what kids are going to do. Kids change their mind all the time. Posters on here are demanding that Orange Defense post & then when he does you chastise him. This is why some of the old posters with real info stop posting. Just say thank you.

I have read about every OD post and I have had some fun with it. All in jest.
As this winds down I have concluded....
1- OD has had the best of intentions.
2- He just looked at this through Orange colored cataracts.
3- He is a Vol fan at the highest level.
4- He thought his info was good even if he just heard what he wanted to.
5 -He has taken our jokes and criticisms , some of it very harsh, and kept going.
I salute you OD. You gave it every thing you had.
Hell, I would like to nominate you for Moderator .
A little OD goes a long way.

Orange defense said:
At 12:00 pm on Wednesday he will choose. I’ve been invited to be there. I’m going to go, but no matter where he chooses, no one can be mad at the situation. It is clearly up to him, and I told him that. It is a very fluid situation, and it hurts, but to all of the Tennessee fans, they’ve got to understand that some things happened at the last minute. I’ve read all of y’alls comments, and to those that said that I remain optimistic, yes I have. If you think that I’ve given up even now, for what has happened, I won’t. I’m going to fight this all the way to the end. If there’s only one person left out of all of the Tennessee fans to remain hopeful then it’ll be me against the world that he comes here. I’m not fighting you, but I’m going down until the ink runs dry. I didn’t come here to waist my time for this, and I certainly didn’t want all of you to give up either, but to those that really wanted him here, then it must be painful. I’ll going to apologize for this thread going weird, out of context, and certainly threw me for a loop.

OK, OD, what does that even mean? You are going to fight against him going to TAMU how exactly?

I wanted to wait until after signing day to post my opinion however with him skipping his visit, I will go ahead and post it. I do not know Russell personally but with him being from same hometown, I have numerous friends and even family that are close to the situation. Both close friends and family of mine have been posted in photos with him on this thread. I never attempted to gain any "inside info" because I didn't feel it was my place to even try. With being an avid Vol fan I would of liked him to be a Vol, however he needs to make the best decision for his future.

With that said, I think he is making the wrong choice. He will have the same opportunity to succeed on the football field and academically at UT, ARK, or A&M. The one benefit he will not get from ARK and A&M is that he will soon be an after thought in that town. If he would of signed with UT, he would of been an instant legend even if he never sniffed the football field at Neyland. The job opportunities that would of been available after college in that town would be endless. It is hard to make a 17-18 kid understand that.

Maybe he doesn't plan on returning to West TN, and if so, my point doesn't matter. Wish him the best wherever he goes.

The "weirdness" in this thread is not an accurate depiction of Dyersburg. I hate the perception it has received because of this thread.

Now it's time to focus on the ones that we get.

What I find strange about Russell's recruitment is that he never even took an Official Visit to Tennessee. He camped but never OVed. An Official Visit is part of the process. A recruit owes it to himself and the school, but he totally wimped out.

Did OD coach him? And change his orange diapers ? Oh and does he live in that orange house on Main Street, and Mona and Daddy drive orange cars?
If so he gone, most likely to To UK
