That's most likely the case.
The way he flipped just left a sour taste in most UT fan's mouths. I remember about 2 weeks before he signed, an AU writer posting a story that Lambert flipped but then took it down quickly. Lambert then played dumb like he wasn't even considering flipping.
Then, Lambert had like 3 different interviews with UT writers during the last 5 or so days and each time kept saying that he was all Vol and he couldn't wait to get to Knoxville. He even called Butch Jones either the night before or the morning of signing day and reassured him that he was signing with Tennessee.
I understand recruiting and of course there's gonna be flips but I don't understand why some recruits just want to stick it to other teams like that. And then they cry because the fans are going apeshit on twitter.

I think it's more the case that they don't want the negative aspects that come with flipping so they just lie and wait until the last possible moment.
