Another one I can think of is Bill Wade. Younger people won’t remember, but before we had major league pro sports in Nashville, Bill Wade was widely regarded as the greatest sports figure in Nashville history.

In the VolQuest Blue Water Climate Control podcast mailbag edition AP said the Vols have climbed back in the mix and it will be a “head vs heart” decision. Head says Bama or Clemson, heart is saying UT.

Doesn’t bode well for us guys. 😬

My thought process:
  • Ty grew up a UT fan, and wanted to go to UT
  • The offense in place when it was Ty's time to commit was awful
    • Just god awful
  • Pruitt recruited him hard, developed a relationship
  • Pruitt recognizes that the offense is a problem
    • Promises to hire Ty's dad to seal the deal
  • In December, Ty was 100% to UT
  • Pruitt gets fired because he's a moron
  • Ty is upset; his dream of going to UT and playing for his dad is up in smoke
    • Also his favorite coach just got fired
  • He reaches out to Bama, Clemson, Ole Miss
  • Bama loses Sark
    • Ty doesn't know BOB; the BOB offense doesn't look fun
    • Plus, BOB is gone in after Ty's freshman season when an NFL job opens back up
  • Clemson is not in the SEC
    • Also weird
  • Ole Miss would be fun, but it's too far away
    • Also weird
  • Heupel is hired; makes Ty a priority
    • Heupel shows him that he's going to throw for 5000 yards in this offense
  • Ty starts to warm back up to UT in late January/early February
    • Tells reporters he is "65% sure" about which school he wants to go to
  • Over the past two weeks, Heupel has talked with him daily
  • Ty comes around, realizes that rebuilding UT is what he wants
    • Begins dropping the "I can go somewhere and be just a guy, or go somewhere and be the man" quotes
  • Ty makes the decision to commit

Funny thing is if he picks Bama or Clemson it won’t really be a big deal to either fan base. Just another drop in the bucket.

But if he picks us it would cause a cataclysmic boom that will reverberate for the entire year and if he has just a decent career he’ll never have to worry about being successful in any field for the rest of his life.

Your choice kid.

If Ty committed to UT (and I don't think he will), it would be huge in generating some positive recruiting traction and momentum for the new coaching staff. However, I think this kid is overrated.
