Or maybe that was a list(9 months prior to signing day) of his top 5 schools he had offers from. Could it possibly be that your trolling yourself on this one?

You sound slightly upset over this.

Anyways, your own fanbase trolls you for the most part. How many big-time players has Tennessee been "in the running" for over the past couple of years, only to see them not pick Tennessee? I blame VolNation, or whatever that website is called. They give out too much false hope for people that don't follow recruiting closely.

As long as AU or UA never offered. He was either going to commit to LSU or UT. When he made that list a week ago, that was without an offer from AU. Its extremely hard to pull players out of Alabama with offers from the instate schools. The last time UT did it was in 05 with Jayson Swain. It shouldn't be a shock to anyone that he committed once he got the instate offer.

Just so were clear, his offer to LSU was to come in a show us what he could do at fullback at the summer camp.

He put his top schools on his twitter account, he stated it himself. I don't see how that equals our own fanbase trolling us (in this instance). If a kid puts you in his top 5, there's reason to hope he signs with you. No one trolled anyone here. Those were his top schools until he got the in-state offer and jumped at the opportunity, there's nothing wrong with that. I'd do the same thing if Tennessee offered me a little later. No UT fan should be upset with this, that's how recruiting goes. Everything can change with 1 phone call. It's happened a hundred times before.

Jalen Hurd was supposedly a Florida and Ohio State battle, James Franklin guaranteed he would commit to Vandy, then he committed to The Vols out of nowhere.

Lol do not give a shite about Rivals or Scout. 247 insiders and posters weren't expecting Hurd up to about 2 months before he committed.

Of course you don't because it goes against your side of the argument. It doesn't matter though because FL flipped a 5* RB a few weeks ago anyway.

Maybe that's why he ended up Volling up for life. The NC-two A's stepped in and cleaned that shite up.....

Agree with this. Too many "insiders" and delusional assholes on that site.
