Given all the recent hoopla and the UT fans doing their thing ... anybody surprised? Everyone still feel good about us signing him?

Yes, I feel great. He had a great visit there, he was just there last weekend. They're the fresh thing on his mind, like the pretty girl at the dance, but he's going to figure out what he already knew 4 months ago, and that's USC is his best chance to turn this into a Pro career.

haha, I just went to 247 after posting the above comment. Lamin did an interview and said he's made a final decision, he's 100% Gamecock and will be here in January.

The fact that Quarles is going Pro early put us over the top and he mentioned that in the interview.

Exactly, plus with Quarles and Clowney leaving he knows he can make an instant impact here

Yeah, we were all like, "early playing time at UT? WTF? Quarles is leaving early Abu - all you gotta do is earn it baby. Get your arse down here and get to work."

I think they must be putting something funny in the water up there in Knoxville during the visits. Something is just not making sense up there with the recruiting.

Anyways, I figured Lamin would be back in reality world by today or tomorrow.

If he sticks, the middle of our DL for the next few years is going to be legit.

I am nervous. I know he has said he is all gamecock today after his visit, but i am still skeered.

Tennessee cheats like hell. And typically get free passes to do so...

It's wet, but it's not the water. I've been hearing rumblings that the arse for Commitments program is back up and running there. Hostesses gonna hostess.

Yes they do ... Tennessee cheats. Yes they do. They are almost as good at it as is Clemson, honestly.

If Tennessee is recruiting, they are cheating. I think Butch is gonna be caught eventually. Although I'm sure he'll have some kind of plausible deniability, but he's cheating right now, it's just a matter of time and if they get caught again in the near future it's gonna be really bad the next time around.

Has anything come of that?

I doubt it ever will because UT wears teflon recruiting britches ... they've always gotten away with murder somehow.

7:30 am. I think this kid could be the mvp of this recruiting class. If he qualifies of course.

I think him signing, and being done with junior college, means he has qualified. He's enrolling for spring semester.

Jhaustin Thomas and Darrius Caldwell (if he is offered and commits) would be Summer enrollees. As BAP mentioned Lamin will be at USC in a couple weeks.
