The opportunity to learn and play along with one of the best in the nation in Eric Berry certainly didn't hurt UT's chances.
They have people that swear he was a silent to Fulmer in the fall. I think they said that Fulmer said that...but when he left things became wide open.
FWIW, insider info (as opposed to Gump info) says: 1a. LSU 1b. Tennessee Alabama Kinda shocked to see Bama in somewhat of a distant 3rd. Definitely riveting drama come NSD.
I dont know the kid so I have no idea what he is thinking - but that isnt Gump info. That is the opinion of three recruiting analysts that have spoken to him this week, Tennessee fans and Alabama fans.
It's gonna be one of the mostly anticipated announcements, for sure. Tennessee, LSU and Alabama fans will be listening in on it intently, no doubt.
I think he goes to the Vols for some reason, they seem like they are pretty desperate right now and will do anything to justify those salaries they have to pay.
I looked at Tennessee in the rivals rankings and was surprised to see how well they were doing. If they finish strong with 3 or 4 more highly touted commits, then Tennessee might be just outside the top 10, which is amazing.
