Ryan,
Do we know exactly what happened with Boyds visit to WVU? He is frustrated and confused and momma says he will definitely not go there. Sounds like an interesting trip!!

I hope they make Levenberry a priority. Boyd would be great and Brown would be a nice addition, but Levenberry is the guy in this group that is really needed if you ask me.

I don't think Tyler is the first person to be confused by the people of West Virginia! They may have had Jescoe White show him around.

Ryan, this is a little off subject, but would you know why the "govols247" section of my "govolsxtra" (KNS) page has been blank for past 12 hrs or so, including now? Had to come directly to 247sports site to get my Vols247 news. Oh, and thanks for the update on weekend......we need Levenberry badly! Thanks.

Not sure about that. The govols247 section of the GoVolsXtra home page that's showing up for me lists four of our most recent stories. Are you on the GoVolsXtra mobile site or just the normal site? If there's a problem, it probably isn't on our end, but I can alert the folks at the News Sentinel.

It may depend on which persona showed him around: Jesco, Jessie or even Elvis! +1

Agreed..Levenberry is the diamond in the rough and meets a need the Vols are thin in. If they could score Levenberry, Bell and Lawson in this class their defense would get a jolt of talent not seen since Eric Berry & Dan Williams.

Speculation on WVU's side is that Tyler's mom has never been crazy about WVU from the get go due to her proximity with Pitt. To say there is hatred between the two schools would be stating the feelings lightly. Tyler's HS is in the backyard of Pittsburgh. His coaches, family and friends have all pressured him to stay home. Tyler's mom states that WVU coaches only reached out to him a few weeks ago but that is untrue. Dana Holgorsen pushed his ability to get WR's drafted in the NFL and Tyler's mom was upset b/c academics wasn't stressed. The truth of the matter is she would have complained about the color of Coach Holgorsen's shirt if she couldn't find another reason. I for one hope Tyler flips to you guys. He needs to be in an offense that understands how to utilize WR's.
After Boyd's visit to WVU the feeling was he wanted to play in our offense but didnt want to upset mom.

No Hurd for Junior day? Any idea why? I hope it is because he has a basketball game or something like that. This is the #1 junior recruit in TN and will be very highly ranked in the nation. Seens Ohio St. and Florida have the early lead on Jalen Hurd, but that happened before CBJ arrived.
Ryan, any word on Hurd?
