The CheckerBoard

I certainly don't want to overstate the importance of a 17 year old kid choosing UT, saying that it is critical that Kelly, or whoever, signs here; but given the fact he is a legacy, as are a few key recruits this year, I think he would be huge. Everybody knows we could use help in the secondary, he is from Knoxville, and his dad wore the power T. Ole Miss had everything align perfectly for their class this year, this would go a long way towards us having a similar recruiting year. All that said, these legacies are huge. GBO

It would be great if we could get a commitment early from him to help with building the class. That being said for some reason I think it will be tough for UT to hold on to him, he seems like he enjoys the recruitment courtship from all the schools and any decision may be months away. Like that other TN safety this year ( I am not saying his name because I am tired of hearing about it) the longer they wait the more likely they are to go somewhere else.
