He wouldn’t be visiting this late in the process (for him) if he didn’t have legit interest.My take: Y’all sound like you’re reading what you want to hear here. He likes a lot of schools and we are behind in his recruitment. He said good stuff about us but he’s not going to say bad stuff and I heard nothing that screams Vol. Until we hear what he says coming out of his visit, we’re another option.
I can see that. I live not too far from this kid in Virginia. I have plenty of VT friends, and they’re pretty excited right now about recruiting, going better than it has in awhile. They’ve got five 4stars currently in the class, including two that they picked up this month. My guess is they’re selling Cole on being a centerpiece of the recruiting class. That comes with a lot of local pressure.He does. He also has a ton of pressure from others not to. Especially from local VT fans. His family really likes Josh Heupel, and BJM. UT has gained a ton of traction here. But outside pressure is there and it's loud. All I'm saying.
Having his teammate and his best friend committed to Tennessee would help take some pressure off IMO.I can see that. I live not too far from this kid in Virginia.

Hopefully we knock it out of the park and he commits to the good guys.
This visit is on his own dime(or his parents). You're correct in not jumping the gun until after the visit, but the interest is legit. This isn't a hat on the table visit. The visit may make him hold off on a decision until he takes an official, or he may see enough(coupled with Lewis in his ear), to commit to somebody in August.My take: Y’all sound like you’re reading what you want to hear here.

I live 15 mins from VT and 20 from Salem. I know some people. Actually alot. Including an ex VT coach that I won't name. It's legit interest with him and his family. There is a ton of pressure from VT fans to go there or also if it VT for him to NOT go to Tennessee.I can see that. I live not too far from this kid in Virginia.

Was that pressure not there for Peyton Lewis?I live 15 mins from VT and 20 from Salem. I know some people. Actually alot. Including an ex VT coach that I won't name. It's legit interest with him and his family. There is a ton of pressure from VT fans to go there or also if it VT for him to NOT go to Tennessee.
He should probably listen to the local VT fans. He could go to VT without his self-proclaimed best friend, maybe win as many games in 4 years there as he would win at UT in 1 or 2, and not get developed into a future NFL player. All the locals will be happy though.He does. He also has a ton of pressure from others not to. Especially from local VT fans. His family really likes Josh Heupel, and BJM. UT has gained a ton of traction here. But outside pressure is there and it's loud. All I'm saying.
I can tell you this, first I was absolutely scorched by someone for putting out some info a little while back. So I've been quiet and I will stay mostly quiet. This guy is from same team and same community as Peyton Lewis. Another player VT hates to lose. All I will say is current friends and commits are putting big effort into getting him to UT. He is scheduled to visit soon. His family is starting to like the idea of playing alongside Lewis. UT has really upped their game here. At first we werent on his radar, and now we are a major player. All I'm saying.
Pretty sure he just visited or is about to. I need to call my buddy.You nailed this one a few weeks back @OrngeJuiceJones - any update now that he's confirmed to be returning for what looks like his last visit anywhere before he decides?
