re: Pappoe to Auburn ...

Chad Simmon's from Rivals dropping NUGS in his update this morning on VQ:

This particular post was about UGA commit Trezman Marshall when OP happened to get brought up. My, my my.

Marshall is close to Vol DL John Mincey and Mincey raves about the new culture in Knoxville. Another key here is Kevin Sherrer... Sherrer was recruiting Marshall for UGA, so those two go way back and have a great relationship. Sherrer is well liked/respected by those at Clinch County.

Oh yeah, one more... Marshall and Owen Pappoe said earlier this year that they plan to play together on the next level. You likely know how I feel about Owen right now with my recent features on him... I like the Vols to sign him next month as of right now. That doesn't hurt their chances with Marshall either.

Now, Marshall is still committed to Georgia and he will take his official visit to Athens next month, so this will be a very tough flip for Tennessee, but I was not expecting to hear quite what I heard today in Homerville. Tennessee has a real shot here. We likely won't know until Marshall signs. I still personally lean towards him signing with Georgia TODAY, but this is much, much closer than I thought it was.

I expect Pruitt to get at least one big flip from a prospect in Georgia, maybe more, so stay tuned.
