Turner sounded solid in an interview after the game but that doesn't mean anything. French told reporters he was still recruiting the other two to Arkansas on Sunday morning and then decommitted later in the day. I'm a little surprised coaches didn't send him home for wearing UT gear on his OV. Kinda strange to me.

Knox could make some freshman all-american teams but it would be nice if we could find ways to get him and Treylon Burks the damn ball. Can't afford to lose either one to the portal after their freshman years. The one thing Chad had going for him was his recruiting and now that is starting to fall apart.

Also not sure how true this is but it's going around lol: Martavius French working on teammates, talks OV to Arkansas

It was just a bracelet right? Kids often wear multiple bracelets of teams they’ve visited. I’ve seen plenty of pics with kids on Tennessee visits wearing a UGA, LSU, FSU, Oregon, etc. bracelet. Seems like a status thing, kinda like tweeting about offer numbers or putting out a top 25 edit.

After watching his mid season highlights was suprisingly impressed at his size and speed. Eason looks faster as a sr too. Boys definitely got better of junior summers which makes sense to why Pruitt suddenly wanted them all much more.

pruitt offered French after seeing them in person, i believe. may be confusing with Tamarion

Galilee on VQ, our Memphis insider, said that was planted. The Arkansas staff should be ashamed of themselves for that. Just trying to plug one of the thousand holes on their sinking ship.

More evidence why paying for “premium” or VIP recruiting info is just pissing away money

Tweeted like 3 hours before he decommitted

Earlier in the afternoon following his official visit, French had nothing but positive things to say about his time on the Hill and added that he was actively assisting the staff to recruit both of his teammates. Here are some direct quotes from French prior to his de-commitment:

“The visit was nice. I worked on Bryson and Tamarion, we had a good time down here so that could play a big role for us,” French said. “We got to spend time with the players and the coaching staff, they’re pretty cool. A lot of them are from Memphis or know people from Memphis so that makes everything better too.

“We went to Coach Morris’s house after the game and they told us, ‘Y’all saw the result today, only you guys can help make it better.’ So we were talking about that, signing into this class and making it better.

“The Catfish Hole was the highlight,” French said. “They had me smiling, that was nice. Seeing Canaan (Sandy) again, just being down here again, that made me happy."

When asked if Arkansas fans should worry about his recent official visit at Tennessee, French had this to say:

“It’s just all a part of recruitment,” he said. “I'm just trying to make sure I make the right choice for me."

I bet Chad Morris served supermarket brand soda at the house and that lost him

so confusing. positive article then decommits?

Because no commit ever says this after their visit.

“Yeah... I’ve not really been feeling it here for awhile now. The team really sucks and isn’t showing any real hope of improvement. I decided to come down for one last time because I know a few dudes will line my hand with coin and it’s nice being treated like I’m the man. Now that the weekend is pretty much over I think I’m gonna slide out and decommit though... so yeah... I guess you can print that, so good luck with all that.”

From Galilee on VQ who has connections in Memphis:

Let me commence by saying that I am blessed to be involved with most athletes in Memphis through my job. I know the good and the bad of most Memphis athletes. The Whitehaven trio are 3 of the finest young men that I have ever been involved with. I know all 3 but very close to one of them. TM mother and father are two of my former students. His grandmother , great grandmother, and his late great great grandmother all like my family. His uncle is one of my best friends. I feel that qualifies me to know the type of kid he is.

The trip:

I was told this was the worst trip they haveexperienced. Everything was going good until word leaked that he was decommitting. One of the players gave them an old pair of cleats. Coach Morris daughter approached them and asked why did they steal the shoes. One other host stated she saw the player give the recruit the shoes but they ignored her. Kenny Ingram an asst. coach there I s the former head coach at Whitehaven and he as even embarrassed. I know these boys did not steal anything at all.

During the game the boys got so bored seeing the home team getting slaughtered, they were hoping to leave. Later on Saturday night at the coach house for dinner, they felt very segregated because the only players siting outside with them were AA. All the white coaches and players stayed inside. When the white players left the trio and their families were still outside. They were enjoying each other but the recruiting staff came and told them it was time to go.. Also when they arrived they were given a hat and a sweatshirt. After the decommiment they were asked to give them back.

Good news: They are still complimenting the UT staff for the best visit ever. They are now hearing the lie about stealing and are outraged and seeking what they can do about these lies.
PS May have some words spelled wrong. I am mad as hell typing this.
