quote:I remember when Pappoe committed to Auburn this was a big deal. I read a couple articles talking about the bad blood between certain "handlers" and the UGA staff or something, so if I were an UGA fan, I would wish for those people to be out of the picture so that UGA could have a chance with Greyson's players.
Regardless of where they end up, I'll be glad when this group of Grayson players is gone, hopefully taking their handlers with them

Eh, it's really more of a general thing. I just don't like the AAU culture that surrounds that place. Quite a few of the kids from that area haven't been panning out at the next level and I think it's due in part to all the baggage surrounding them.
The handler culture is slimy all the way around, regardless of which school it does or doesn't benefit.

Greyson and Archer have both been notoriously shitty to deal with for UGA recruiters.

The interview with him on VolQuest makes it look like he's still pretty solid to Auburn

Then I guess Auburn has nothing to worry about

It's always entertaining when Tennessee and Auburn rassle over a recruit. I'm not sure if the non-stop back and forth trolling has ever made a difference, but I'm sure both fan bases will do their part.

All recruit interviews should be taken with a grain of salt.
Pappoe should be ignored. He has consistently said things that weren't true and didn't match actual events in interviews.
I do think it's 50/50 AU/UT at this time. A lot depends on how the growing GusFire heats up over the next few weeks.

I actually think Germy is probably in good position with Pappoe as I would think most kids are probably shaky on Auburn right now. One more bad season and Malzahn will get the buyout. Tell me AU fans, how can War Eagle be anything less than worse next year with most of the D-Line leaving and most of the offensive line coming back? Stitham gone likely.

Had no idea Grayson has a VFL on the coaching staff.

quote:
As for the Grayson trio, Tennessee continues to make moves with 5-star linebacker Owen Pappoe and 4-star defensive back Kenyatta Watson. A key behind the scenes staffer with both prospects is Tino Sunseri. Pappoe is a very savvy prospect, who has long known how not to reveal much in interviews, but based on our time in Loganville earlier this week, it’s apparent Tennessee has a real shot. Pappoe really respects Pruitt and his potential to be developed by the current staff into a top-line linebacker in the SEC. As Pappoe said himself, getting past his relationship with AU linebackers coach Travis Williams will “be hard,” but the Vols might have the right combination of staffers to pull it off. Pappoe will sign and enroll in December, so getting him on campus next month officially could be the difference for the Vols.
Similarly, Watson also plans to take an OV here next month. While he doesn’t quite garner the attention or stars of Pappoe, the Grayson DB is super long (legit 6-3) and has had an outstanding senior season. He’s developed a nice rapport with Terry Fair and he’s known Pruitt for years. His family also really likes Knoxville. Former Vol Anthony Sessions is his position coach at Grayson and has upped his Tennessee pitch of late, too. Watson may unofficially visit this weekend.

If I'm Kenyatta, this can't hurt either:
Both our froshies on the list at #1 and #4.

This is exactly what we expect
The only way we are better is because we are Auburn and we suck when we think we will be good, and are good when we expect to suck.

Because that's how things work at AU
Next season there will be no hype, we all will expect them to be garbage, Gus will land Kelly Bryant as a transfer, win the SEC and then be fired after going 4-8 in 2020

So his HS position coach is trying to push him to his own alma mater? Kinda shitty....
With that said I think the bigger push for UT right now is coaching stability + Wanya Morris. They are close & it's clear that Morris actually has the bigger influence of that group. AU is apparently much more confident than anyone reporting on it which honestly doesn't make me feel better given this staff

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