Third, read TTs post. For a four star, he spent 70% of his senior season riding the bench. His attitude is shite. And I wouldn't be surprised if he's out of college in 2 years.

He could be a waste of talent, but he could change his attitude, a lot of things can happen.
I'm aware of him and his situation. Obviously Auburn and Alabama wanted him at some point or they wouldn't have offered him. Through the course of the recruiting year, things change for teams just as they change for player. They went in another direction. Doesn't mean his a horrible player.
Honey Bager had one big time offer, LSU, which happened at the last second. He camped with us earlier in the year and pasted on him. We were wrong on that one. Its comical to see fans defend their teams decisions when they have no FIRST hand knowledge of why.
Love the "we didn't want him anyway" excuse or the "he's overrated" excuse. Jesus they're 17 and 18 year old kids. Just congratulate them when they get a scholarship and wish them well.

I think the easiest way to settle this is, would you even care about what has been said if Shanks wasn't considering UT? Or are you only refuting it because of that fact only?
I'd think the same way about him if he was committed to Bama...

Sorry, I wasn't as fast to edit my post when I have a typo. Unlike you did on page one.
Funny, a guy telling me to learn english who posted this earlier.

I'm not giving an opinion on the kids talent level. In fact, I haven't in his thread at all. If you read anything I've said, it is this. I don't know exactly how talent this kid is or how talented he could be. And neither do any of you. I think it is hilarious for fans to act as if they sit in on SEC recruiting meetings and can judge how great a high school kid will be in college.
None of us are recruiting experts. We are spectators. That is it.

This isn't hard. You need to take the spaces & caps lock out of the post, and it reads like a normal sentence. Hence, the preface with 'caps lock' beforehand.
Here, I'll even break it down for you.
Both Alabama and Auburn stopped recruiting him over four months ago. There is a reason for that.
Better?

Yes, that's why you took the time to look up his rankings on ESPN, Rivals, & Scouts. Because you weren't basing your opinion on him because of his talent level.

You understand those are the rankings from companies and people who evaluate talent for a living, correct?
I never said I agreed with it. I said those evaluations from 3 different sources seemed consistant to me. Do you understand?

Yup. The guys working there know more about prospects than the home schools recruiting him from 1 & 2 hours away. They obviously know more than Saban, who has proven to be one of the best recruiters in the country. And Chizik, who has pulled in two straight top 6 classes.

So you're not going to explain the reason or does this just proved you don't have one.

Do you have any idea how many prospects get offered every year for major colleges? Obviously you don't. Just to let you know, it's around 150/200 or so.

The Tennessee fan is making more of a point than you are.
What if the kid told Bama and Auburn he wasn't going to their schools and is the reason they stopped recruiting him?

Seriously?
You think you experts know more about a kid from Prattville, Alabama than the guys who have known about him since his sophomore year in high school?
