ESPN - Vols LB commit might visit UGA

More than a year ago, linebacker Dalton Santos became the first commitment for Oklahoma State in the 2012 class, committing to the Cowboys in October 2010. Then offers started flooding in, and by the end of his junior year, the four-star prospect decided to reopen his recruitment and research some of his other options.
He felt the most comfortable with two coaches, Tennessee's Justin Wilcox and Peter Sirmon, and in early August, the 6-foot-2, 240-pound inside linebacker committed to the Volunteers over Texas A&M. Santos felt relieved that his recruitment, which can often be a hectic and stressful process, seemed to be finished.
He was wrong. Two weeks ago, while Santos was at the Under Armour All-America Game in Florida, things changed again. Wilcox and Sirmon, who had been instrumental in the prospect's decision to commit to Tennessee, left for positions at the University of Washington.

Are we still getting a visit from Santos? I know he's looking at Georgia as well. Wonder if today's commitment changes anything on our end and Dalton's.

With a commitment from Perkins, an upcoming visit from Marcus, and great feelings about Cam Williams... and spots running thinner and thinner, I could see a cooling on Santos.

We'll keep the visit thread at the top of the page pretty current. If there's news out about a visit being cancelled it will be reflected in that thread.

Other than that it's going to be a "wait and see if they show up" type of deal...

Rivals - Good vibes from commits

1/22

UA offensive line commit Cordale Boyd got a good vibe from both Green-Beckham and four-star offensive line recruit Jordan Diamond.

"I got a very strong and positive vibe about the whole campus itself, and they really liked it," Boyd said. "Especially Jordan, he said he really liked it. And DGB, he liked it too. We have a good chance of nabbing both of them I would think. I hope they come on and Call the Hogs."

Diamond is considering several schools. During the Arkansas-Michigan basketball game, UA offensive line commit Jeremy Ward got the impression that those two schools also lead for Diamond's services.

"Jordan, I think we got real close," Ward said. "He's a real big family guy. He likes to have a lot of camaraderie. I kept telling him that's what Arkansas' all about. I don't think he really got what I was saying until he came here. I think he was really blown away. Eat at the Catfish Hole but nothing like that. That pep rally, I think he really, really enjoyed himself, and I think he'll be a Hog honestly.

"We were leaving the basketball game, and he was like 'I'm going to have take your hat,' because I was wearing an Arkansas hat, and I said 'why is that?' And he said because I'm going to have to put it on the table."

Ward also got a good impression for highly recruited linebacker Dalton Santos, who is currently committed to Tennessee with a visit slated to Ohio State next weekend.

"Dalton Santos. We talked a good bit. He'll probably end up committing. He loved it. He had a blast," Ward said.

Vols commit Santos to visit Texas
January, 22, 2012
By Max Olson

Tennessee linebacker commit Dalton Santos (Van, Texas/Van) has received a scholarship offer from Texas and plans to visit Austin next weekend.

Santos' father, Albert, confirmed to HornsNation that the Under Armour All-American got his offer from Texas offensive line coach Stacy Searels on Saturday night, and Santos is very interested in what the Longhorns have to offer.

"Obviously there is a great interest there from him," Albert Santos said. "We wouldn't do [the visit] if he was not interested, I can assure you of that."
