Ryan, in some of these cases is it that the new coach tells a previous commit that he no longer fits in to the plan?

This new staff must have a different profile in what they look for in a LB.

I know we are hurting at LB, how does it look with the Foster kid from Auburn? Have anyone from UT been in contact with him?

This kid would grow his way onto the D-Line within two years of being on campus. He's easily going to go 290 when he fills out. Not that that is a bad thing. I just don't see him as a linebacker for long.

I never really cared much for this kid anyway, he looks alot heavier than 245 and he probably runs a 4.8 40. Once he fills out they would have moved him to d-line anyway.

Hopefully we will look a little closer to home. I always felt that recruiting a kid from Hawaii was going to be a stretch and questioned how successful he would have been. I like Coach Jones comments that he is going to own Tennessee when it comes to recruiting.

How many 3 star linebackers do you suppose you fly over between Hawaii and Knoxville?

Seems like we have been successful before with kids from Hawaii. Hate to see this one go. We need some good news on recruiting.

This guy just looks out of shape and slow..Normally 3 star LB's are a dime a dozen but it's late in the game to make up for losing 2

I don't think he was that committed. He never has been to our campus.

A. If anything, I think it shows we are not getting Koher (big loss IMO)
B. I'm curious to see how his career plays out. Must have had some impressive film to get an offer in the first place.

Go back to Miami! You won't get him either. How are those sanctions going for you anyways? Have fun in the next 10 years.

I've been mulling over this decommittment for the past several hours, and I keep thinking to myself, "Who?" I just don't see this as a big loss.
