sounds like he knows he's not rated highly and that's giving him a chip on his shoulder. I like it

"....because I want to be coached. "
"I want to be built to my full potential, and I don’t think I’ve reached my full potential at all. I think it’s time for that to hit. I’m just excited to come on campus and prove a lot of people wrong.”

If you throw in a sufficient level of talent at all, what more could a coach ask for?

Sometimes a star rating doesn't measure the athletes heart..I think this kid is one of those hard working types that will give his all for Tennessee..Welcome aboard.

I like that we are seeing guys say that they are not taking any more visits, and that the recruiting is done. Smith, Sanders, Carr, and Kendrik have all said that they are set. Also, noticed in another article that Bellamy is saying that UT is coming after him the hardest. One of the things that got on my nervs over the last few years was reading recruits saying that every other school was working harder than TN, nice to see this staff doing work.

Exactly! I don't know much about this young man, but I love that attitude.

I also hope he can contribute. I want him and all the other three star commits to show us that they have the drive to be SEC players. Vols!!

Watch this kids highlights and you will see all you need to know he can play! He came down for a workout with his high school QB can't remember his name for UT coaches to evaluate the QB and Smith was offered that day the QB they were evalueating wasn't.

That would be Charlie High.

I think the QB was Charlie High, which oddly enough is going to be visiting Arkansas I think I read somewhere. Chaney being the Offensive Coordinator there makes this somewhat of a head scratcher for me unless Ark is just desperate for a QB and their options are limited.
