He's not. He's deciding on Monday, calling the coaches when he does and personally denied any announcement on NSD.


Again, why do that if you are already commmitted? I've never heard of calling a coach to tell them where you are signing if you are already committed. He's not committed. He probably will stay at AU, but right now he isn't committed.

Kids who are committed do that all the time...it's called a wavering commitment. His dad is quoted as saying there is a reason he is still committed to Auburn.

UT fans also knew how mad it made Lawson when AU hired Garner before anyone.

UT fans know more about Lawson's recruitment that any other school, included AU fans. Lawson and his family doesn't like to talk to reporters or deal with all that comes with recruiting. I just showed you proof of him being right, at least 2 months before anything started to publically between Lawson and other school.

AU will probably get him anyway since Garner has said it wasn't his fault since UGA wouldn't let him offer. Garner has smoothed things over, but this one was really close. Congrats tho because you all will get an amazing player more than likely.

I've told you that the family doesn't want it known that Lawson has decommitted. He is a top 5 recruit in the country and nearly every school and reporter would start blowing his phone up constantly. If they still think he is committed, he can focus on the 3 schools he likes, AU, UT, and Clemson, and not worry about other schools.

Ga Tech isn't in it all, it was a courtesy visit because Lawson Sr used to play there and AU former dl coach is now there. Media thinks they are in it, but they aren't.

No one is denying he was looking around. No one denies he had interest in UT. Carl in all this time has not decomitted.
His father just said in an interview. There is a reason Carl has remained committed throughout this process. How does him saying that protect their privacy...

Please tell me one media person that knew Lawson had genuine interest in UT and Ole Miss in early October?

Well, Garner left UGA and UGA *still* didn't offer Lawson, so I would say that "UGA wouldn't let him offer" is a pretty accurate description of the situation.

Do you not understand recruiting? Every school in the nation would be blowing up Lawson's phone if they knew he was decommitted. Every recruiting writer and media person would constantly want interviews to find out where is leaning. If you are committed, most teams give up and focus on someone else. Lawson hated the recruitment process, he just wants it to be over and start playing for his school

Really? Y'all knew before he was hired? Because as soon as he was hired, there was talk about that on our side.

No. Y'all just think you do because of your "insider".

He called a recruit having interest in a school. Going out on a limb there. I recall talk about that during our season too so it's not like it was super secret info.

Delusional. Y'all thought Gruden was coming to UT. That's all that needs to be said. You are in denial. Lawson ain't going to UT.

I understand recruiting. You seem to be the naive one hanging on every word of a cough, cough insider.

Again, when was the last good news about Lawson to vols the great friend has posted? Still waiting...

That is him quoting rivals. What about his inside thoughts?

You think coaches weren't in contact with Lawson about who they were wanting to hire as his Dl coach?

He said UT would be heavily involved in it. If you read the thing you would see how he actually predicted Lawson to end up at UT or FSU in October when all said and done. Thats more than having an interest in a school.

A random poster said that 6 out of 8 writers predicted Lawson to UT. He saw the thread and posted that its a 50/50 shot he actually ends up at UT.

Do you not understand recruiting? If you're an elite talent like Carl, school and reporters are going to call regardless.
