The 2013 Recruiting Thread

[CashmoneyDrew]

Guys to watch for the Vols:

- QB Josh Dobbs (4*)
Deciding tomorrow between sticking with ASU or UT. Apparently UT feels good.

- HB Johnathan Ford (4*)
Deciding tomorrow between Auburn and UT. Looking like Auburn.

- WR Tyler Boyd (4*)
Deciding tomorrow between sticking with Pitt or switching to UT. Toss-up.

- DL Jaylen Miller (3*)
Seems like the Vols have him wrapped up.

- LB E.J. Levenberry (4*)
FSU commit. Deciding between sticking with them or UT tonight. Toss-up.

- LB Malik Brown (3*)
Syracuse commit. Will stick with them or flip to Vols tomorrow.

- DB Vonn Bell (5*)
Deciding between Vols and OSU tomorrow. Rumored to be leaning Vols.

I guess we also technically have a shot with Davin Bellamy, but he seems to be all Dawg to me.

Falah isn't a done deal yet, but he is torn between the 2. Sark has told him he would start (which I think would be a HORRID decision, but I still do not want to lose him). His heart is at U Dub, but wants to honor his commitment.

SC has given a last minute offer to Jermaine Kelly, which should have been done a long time ago IMO. And I expect them to put the full court press on the Robinson twins.

Any chance Eddie V. leaves the L.A. area? I would think if you are sought after by Alabama then that is a no-brainier, you're stock goes up by just wearing the uniform.

EV still seems to be anyone's guess. I've heard rumors that he has eliminated SC, but who knows really. There are rumblings out of the UCLA, ND, and Bama sources that he is signing with each of those respective teams, so it really seems like nobody has a clue. I feel like I might give the slight edge (not trying to be biased) to UCLA due to location close to home, but Bama and ND are still very much in it.

We'll keep Kelly. You keep Falah.

I'd swap you for sure. Falah has stayed committed but loves ******* with people and has been a constant pain in the ass.

In regards to Vanderdoes I am thinking he ultimately ends up at UCLA, which will piss me off. If he isn't gonna be at SC I'd rather him be at Bama so we don't have to worry about him. Everyone seems to think he is getting him because he falls in love with whoever talks to him...hes a very tough read. 24/7 at USC blew up this morning because he changed the background on his twitter to a picture of a bunch of USC players....but if he ended up at SC I'll be very surprised.

see, why do people do that? for the attention?

[pierce2walker]

Yeah, I haven't been a big fan of Falah throughout this process.

I've been monitoring the EV situation closely for the last few weeks and its pretty much exactly as Sick said. Wherever he has visited he has tweeted great things so that fan base becomes convinced that he will go there. I also saw the twitter pic, which I don't read much into, but again you never know.

If I had to guess I'd gives the odds at 40% UCLA, 25% Bama, 25% ND, 10% SC. But that's entirely a guess off of speculation as EV has played his cards very close to the chest.

Yeah, they love it. When they were all at the Army game they were all taking pictures with their friends committed to other schools and saying "oh my boy (insert name here) just committed to USC" and the twitter nation would explode. They played a joke saying Bigelow was going Bama and the Bama fans went ******* nuts...and in the end it was just a bunch of recruits messing with people and loving the attention.

[pierce2walker]

I can't say I'm entirely surprised that a bunch of 18 year olds enjoy getting the attention of entire fan bases simply through social media. Is it a bit immature? Sure, but think about high school seniors...many of them are immature.

[CashmoneyDrew]

Levenberry sticking with FSU. Blah

I feel like we've finished 2nd for every significant recruit we've been in on the last few years. Which probably means Vonn Bell to OSU.

Our boosters really need to step their game up and pay some damn recruits.

[JoeJoeBrown]

I'm 80% sure Ezekiel Elliott will go to Mizzou. Fuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccccckkkkkkkk

[Bert Macklin]

Frank Herron tweet......

[pierce2walker]

Kylie Fitts picks UCLA

Never struck me as the smartest kid in the world.

[CashmoneyDrew]

Cool pic of Butch Jones getting a commit from a recruit. Hopefully Bell.

[Smooth Criminal]

Not really expecting much for the Buckeyes tomorrow. Bells the prize left for them, but I havnt heard anything positive from people about him.

James Clark is expected to be a Buckeye according to ESPN writer Derek Tyson.

[Hines]

I think Tyler Boyd signs with Tennessee tomorrow. Just a hunch.

[mqtirishfan]

With the exception of a miracle from EV, I'll just be hoping all of ND's commits sign.

[draftguru151]

3* RB/FB Augustus Edwards signs with UM over FSU! Nice start.

[draftguru151]

Elijah Daniel flips from Ole Miss to Auburn.

[Hines]

Bower flips from Auburn to Florida.
