re: Josh Malone Final 5

To add on, he'll take visits to FSU and UF, but Rivals thinks those are longshots due to distance. It'll be between UT and UGA.

Clemson is only there because of Watson, and Malone is too smart to pick a school because of 1 incoming prospect.

Yeah I'm a Vol fan, so I guess that takes away from my prediction, but I'm going with UT here as of now. He is tight with Barnett and Gaulden, who are both Vols. Grabbing Mosely from Brighton won't hurt either. With all those guys, UT will have all the top players in the state except for Alex Bars, who is an ND legacy and wasn't going anywhere in the south. I think Malone wants to be apart of repping his state at the home school with all the other elite TN kids. Seeing an undermanned UT team come back in the 2nd half and take UGA into OT showed him that Jones' coaching works when the players trust his system, and Neyland was rocking that night. The fact that he set up the announcement the week he visited Knox makes me think UT as well. And then there's this tweet from 2015 Nashville CB Elias Cane after Barnett committed...
