I don't know why, but I'm just not worried. Dude will be the next great OSU defensive lineman.

Possibly because a player and family that have already bought in to what Ohio State is selling are less likely to be swayed by the extra illegal perks that Tennessee offers to push them over the top in these high profile recruitments.

Mayhaps, but with NIL and whatnot, am unclear with what is 'illegal' or not anymore. With boosters 'donating' money, cars, houses, jobs etc. Not believing that a) anything is illegal; b) the NCAA could/would catch it if they could anyway. That's why the SEC isn't #1 anymore, the rest of football can legally do what they've been getting away with for decades. Just sayin'.

Exactly.

There is no illegal anymore. Just “unwilling”.

It’s illegal to offer these things to members of a player’s family or inner circle. It seems fairly clear that still remains firmly outside the realm of what is permissible under NIL and what Tennessee is clearly engaging in.

Used to use, when explaining to Board members, 'what is the legal speed on the 5?' Of course, people had various answers, but I replied, 'maybe, but it's what the CHP enforces'.....guess same applies here. Am still waiting for the NC basketball team to be hit with sanctions for grad students doing papers for the basketball team.....am turning blue from holding my breath....

Recent news from the last thread:
  • Tennessee is showing interest in EDGE commit David Jacobs. Right now, Jacobs' camp is downplaying any significance.
305Buck:
New Wiltfong article on DJ Jacobs:
Tennessee pushing harder than Miami now at trying to flip. Jacob’s father said it’s nothing serious.
Says his son is strongly tracking to sign with Ohio State.
They will make gameday visits around the country for Dawson but also plan to be at a couple Ohio State games this season as well.

KJHillEnthusiast:
To further what 305 said, on3 put out an article essentially baiting drama saying “Tennessee is pushing for a flip” trying to make it seem like it’s a high possibility. When in reality they’re just in his ear. His own father says he’s more than likely signing with us. I really wish people weren’t so delusional and already writing him as a VOL
