If I woke up with my head sown to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised than I am right now.

This class is going to give their all for Tennessee more so than any other in the history of TN football.

Berry bros, Wharton, Bates, Kelly Jr and Creamer are going to teach the team what it really means to be a VOL FOR LIFE!

I've heard there is a chance that one or both of them might be forced to gray shirt. Is there any validity to that rumor, and if so do you think that will change their "commitment" at all?

I'd say no validity, and just a bunch of star gazing recruiting crap.

I get that without their name, they might not have offers. But that's a really good name to go off of, and it's not like they don't have athleticism. I've got a lot of faith that it'll work out, and they'll be contributors.

"I get that without their name, they might not have offers."

Not even close to accurate. Evan is one of the best players in the state and a state champ track athlete. He will compete for playing time immediately.

No that was JC Shurburtt speculating because the Berry twins still hadn't committed at that point.

Exactly. Evan is very underrated and Elliot could be solid down the road.

Certainly sounds like he only got the offer because of his name:

quote:

It was my only offer, so I had to be real about it,” Evan Berry said. “I can tell Tennessee is starting to turn it around. They only need a couple of more athletes to turn it around. I’m excited about it.”

That douses it a bit. But if there was ever a recruit to gamble on, it's Berry twins who have proven to be athletic. The work ethic, intangibles, and what not is a safe bet, just need to coach them.

They are good athletes but are not "elite". UTk is kinda stuck with them IMO.

Simply not true.

No one took the time to recruit them because everyone knew they were going to Tennessee. Evan is a great prospect. Elliot you could argue was helped by the name but not Evan.

Looks like another case of butch keeping commitments in his back pocket waiting for a good time to announce
