Not sure what to say....besides that I am not paid to contribute here.

Martin to UT....

Wow.

If its true...I'm surprised as it goes against everything since November.

If that's the case...so be it.

However, Im waiting for the announcement.....I Dont buy it.
not being contrary but what don't you buy, the fact he will announce for UT in 12 hours or the fact that he signs the NLOI? Just wondering. Always seemed like UT was running 4th in this race.

grad has a signed LOI in front of him?

I was under the impression that he does. Does he not? :biggrin:

I was refering to when he said that he doesnt buy it and that he would wait for the announcement tomorrow. It seems pretty clear(to me atleast)that Martin is already a Vol.

Obviously, some of you need a more "Hookd on Fonix" breakdown...

:wink:

Im not bailing yet...that's all. If he announces for TennyC tomorrow...what do I lose?? Credibility??

Who cares...I'm riding our sources until he pullls out a hat that does not say tOSU.


If I'm wrong...so be it....if I'm right...well...........

you calling me dumb? You aren't the first. Just seems like such a weird choice. UF I would have believed, but UT is strange. As for your credibility I got your back. :wink2:

Thanks man...and to be honest, I may be standing alone. Unless Grippa is clueless, I am likely wrong....however, Im going down with the ship.

Martin to the Buckeyes is my call...

Alright, we all hope you're right. BTW I never doubted your credibility as you are one of the most credible on here. It just seems to me that the writing is on the wall.

Agreed 100%....hell, 125%.

However, the Cincy Enquirer is the main source in this....I'll wait, thank you.


If I'm wrong, so be it...but this one doesn't feel right.

Couple of things

1-I started following recruiting back when I was in HS, before the internet, reading the back of Street and Smith, or whatever other preview was out there, just perusing the list of top seniors to be, and best classes. Despite all the hype and Army AA stuff, the picture isn't any clearer.

that should make ben feel bad about choosing tenn over osu. :shake: c'mon. please don't wish worse for the kid just because he didn't choose the school you root for.

I'm glad you said it 21. I thought I was the only person who was still having reservations about the verbal to Tennessee. If he does go there fine, but I"ll believe it when I hear it from the kid or an official announcement.

I'm more shocked at how people are taking one blirp in the paper. Misleading items happen numerous times each recruiting year. How many years in a row must some paper misqoute a player, how many times do coaches have to give out the wrong info before we learn to be patient and wait for an official announcement. PS- Rumor has it Ben practiced in a Tenn. t-shirt yesterday. That should give us a hint :biggrin: (thats sarcasm by the way)

a newspaper is one thing... that lichtenfels (at the aaa) told nevadabuck that martin is going to tenn is another. however, with those in the know apparently being led astray (purposely or not), i, too, won't believe it until i see it. the decision is likely only twelve hours away, so conjecture at this point means little to me anyway.

FWIW, Martin HIMSELF has told the paper that Tennessee was the place he felt most comfortable and states that as the reason he will be announcing for Tennessee. Talk about out of left-field.

(I should have known when they started pumping him up on the scout write-ups that he was headed elsewhere though). :wink2:

Done deal folks...hate to say it...but done deal.

wow.....this is a quite a shock to lose the #1 recruit in Ohio to a team from the south, but that is the nature of recruiting, its unpredictable at best. Best of luck to Ben and I hope he has success down in Vol country....

By the way, if anyone complains about being "misled".......this is free information, remember that. Lets all step away from the ledge and realize that losing one player will not have that big of a impact in the big scheme of things. I have confidence that the program will survive. (sarcasm font)

The staff is doing a great job. Everyone relax.
