I think Graham focused a great deal in the fall on Green. Green told Graham on more than one occasion that he was going to be a Vol.

Hubbs on Derrick 'Gabe Wright' Green.

So get this, according to Hubbs, Derrick Green committed to Derek Dooley & Jay Graham last fall. He was planning to be a EE at Tennessee, he even went as far as making plans to get a bluetick coon hound to be there for his announcement.

He even said Rudy Ford was a silent until auburn offered..kills me we couldn't land one of those guys.

Hubbs said Lawson and Levenberry were silents too.

Tennessee continues to seem to have a good bit of momentum with defensive end Carl Lawson. Lawson and his dad have been communicating with the Vol coaches and those close to Lawson feel that Rodney Garner's move to Auburn does nothing to help the Tigers at all. However, Garner is obviously a good recruiter and will certainly try and sell Lawson on the fact that he wanted him but that others at Georgia didn't think he was the right fit for the Bulldogs scheme. Lawson's father is a big factor in Lawson's decision and right now Tennessee seems to have some momentum with both dad and with Carl.

Hubbs at the Memphis dinner tonight said that Gabe gave his commitment to the staff on the last in-home. Said he was committed to them the night before signing day(or the morning of), told Tiny that he would be a Vol about two hours before his announcement, then goes on the air and picks Auburn.
