I believe the Vols have chosen to not seriously pursue C. Morris

He shut down his recruitment after he visited here.

Yeah I think this is true. It's definitely possible that he's just been really quiet, and obviously the coaches can't say anything (but we know they've been in Memphis recently).
I can't remember where I saw it, maybe on this board, but I think some reporter said they bumped in to him at a basketball game and he said on NSD there would be two hats at his table: UCLA and UT. I think we still have a good shot. He'd be a nice pickup.

I'm not sure about that. He and North both just have been quite with the media so no one really knows what's up. NSD will actually have several prospects we all need to keep an eye on. Lawson is the only one we might know something on before then.

No, I didn't. I haven't talked with Morris in a while. I believe it was a story on Morris from the Memphis Commercial Appeal.

I'd love to land Morris, and I hate to be one that deciphers tweets, but this is a tweet Morris sent to Brian Kimbrow and Johnathan Ford:
@iAM_ChrisMorris: @I_GRIND_4_IT @rudythebeast5 he need to stay with you big bra y'all gone be real.
He's basically telling Johnathan Ford that he needs to stick with Vandy. Not something you'd expect from a guy that's going to end up at Tennessee.

I saw a tweet from John Martin and made a thread about it.

Lots of black kids seem to like Pro sports more than college and don't get caught up in the rivalry thing until they are actually in school. They see college as a business decision. Nothing more nothing less.

Not sure that him being black has anything to do with it. And you may want to be careful generalizing based on a kid's race - in recruiting and, um, just in general.
