Can we just go ahead and start a "JJ Peterson has committed to UT" thread?

Especially after these comments:
quote:
"Coach Saban calls every once in a while but he wants to come see but I might just tell him to not waste his time," Peterson said. "He’s a business man. I respect him for being a great coach. It’s not that I don’t want to play for him it’s just I might have other opportunities elsewhere."
quote:
"At Tennessee they’re saying I have a chance to come in and play and that’s what they’re saying at Alabama [too]," Peterson said. "But you’re Alabama, I know I can’t come in and play right away. My homeboy is there, Xavier McKinney, he’s one of the best players I’ve gone against. He’s a great player and he didn’t even play, so I’m like, if he didn’t even play when they were up, so there’s something wrong. I don’t want to get up there and just not get a chance. I don’t care about playing but I just want a chance and if you get a chance I’ll make something happen and if not I won’t do it."

I don't know why he doesn't just go ahead and commit already.

Maybe he wouldn't play a lot as a freshmen, if he were to sign with Alabama. But using McKinney as an example is odd. He played in 12 games. Was one of 19 true freshmen to see playing time in 2017. And will be in line to start at safety in 2018.

That's what Pruitt told him.

Come on, this is Tennessee, with our luck, Peterson is pulling off an elaborate troll.

Imo, JJ is expressing his true feelings.
I do think Saban can make JJ comforable that he's actually got a good shot at early PT at Bama (19 of Bama's true freshmen played). But, it may be too late for Saban to adequately close the relationships gap.
Propst and Pruitt (plus Sherrer) have had close relationships with JJ for a few years, essentially like "father figures" that JJ talks like he needs. JJ's recent remarks indicate he doesn't think Saban can build his relationship with JJ enough to sway him back to Bama.
JJ talks like he is set on committing to UT and may even cut Saban off from recruiting him anymore.
I'd love to have JJ at Bama, but I'll still wish him well if he and his mom feel he should go to UT.

Why is his commitment such a big deal to UT?
