17 TN OL Trey Smith

http://247sports.com/Player/Trey-Smith-75463

High 4 star, Scout has him as a 5 star

Tennessee has put in a lot of work with him

 

ESPN has him as #1 in the country. Looks like it is going to be a UT vs Bama battle for this kid. Apparently he grew up a Bama fan so hopefully Botch can work some magic.

 

Don't know how we could overcome him growing up a Bama fan.

 

If Richmond comes in and play well that might help his recruitment

 

First big recruit out of USJ in a while, I believe.

 

I personally know this family.
They are nothing but first class.
His father worked as a staff member for me before I retired.
They lost their wife/mother to cancer last year.
She was just a delightful person.
Trey's sister was a student assistant for the Lady Vols when she was at UT.
And yes, Trey has been an Alabama fan since he was in grade school.
But don't hold that against him, I think he have a good shot.
He is a great young man that has been raised "right".

 

WTF is wrong with this world when a kid from Tennessee grows up being a Bama fan?

 

Dooley.

 

This is the kind of kid we have to keep home.

 

We just hired his sister to work in the compliance dept.

But she's an alum with experience working at the NCAA. Basically, this is the least sketchy "hire the recruit's family" situation I've ever seen.

 

I'm okay with it

 

It appears he is in Knoxville this weekend as well.

 

Well yeah, he's got to help her move in

 

Pickin out his room.

 

We received 3 CB's for him over the last 24 hours. (Wiltfong, Bartow, Ole Miss writer)

 

Pretty sure I read that Ole Miss had overtaken Bama as our biggest competition, so that's good news.

 

We have gotten 14CB's for him in the last 2 days.

 

Hiring his sister will do that

 

Ole Miss was all over doing that until the NCAA came snooping around. Thank you Freeze for being such a piece of trash.

 

Announcing Tuesday. Hopefully he was impressed by the Vanderbilt game
