Yeah, I think you are right.He’s going to Tennessee. Really as simple as that.

He took Demarcus Walker who had already committed to Bama when he left for FSU. Petersen was not even committed. Saban usually does not take such things personally, he rehired him. Pruitt is ruthless and driven, though I think he has matured a bit. He was much more complimentary of Coach Saban and Bama this time. It was rough when he went to FSU.JMO, but if this kid goes to TN, Saban is going to make a point of crushing TN while he is there. There is no way that Pruitt is supposed to be pulling kids that he was paid by Saban to recruit to Alabama for the last 2 years.
Now that`s interesting but not so surprising when you consider how close Pruitt and Propst are as coaches and friends.FWIW, rumor mill in South Georgia is that JJ's coach may wind up in Knoxville also.
Should this be interpreted as CNS has yet to have an in home visit with Petersen? Did he not spend quality time with CNS on his official visit ?I would like to add that Petersen said that Alabama can " reclaim the lead" with him the next several weeks if Saban who is now his primary recruiter can make him feel comfortable with Alabama again since his only point of contact was with Pruitt. On Rush Propst possibly heading to Tennessee in some kind of coaching capacity remains to be seen. It is worth mentioning on the very close relationship between Peterson and Propst/Pruitt. Sounds like a law firm :biggrin2:
Anyway this is the NCAA rule regarding a situation such as this:
A recruit can follow a high school coach if that college hires the coach for an "on the field" position. A recruit can not follow his high school coach if his coach takes an administrative position.
we shall see where this one goes.
edit: Peterson has never visited Tennessee
Not just rumor mill... CRP is openly telling people that he's being courted by at least two SEC programs. Unless I'm mistaken he's supposed to be in Tuscaloosa during school break to help with offensive breakdowns.FWIW, rumor mill in South Georgia is that JJ's coach may wind up in Knoxville also.
to me best recollection, I don't think Saban has had a home visit with Peterson yet.Should this be interpreted as CNS has yet to have an in home visit with Petersen? Did he not spend quality time with CNS on his official visit ?
If that`s correct and CNS is the primary recruiter, it ain`t over.to me best recollection, I don't think Saban has had a home visit with Peterson yet.
we all know the power of persuasion Saban has esp with parents once he has those home visits with a recruit he wants really bad.
It's over. He's not coming here. JP has known the kid since he was in the 8th grade. And if I'm not mistaken, this is one of Propst's players. Forget about it.If that`s correct and CNS is the primary recruiter, it ain`t over.
Propst today said **his coming to Bama in some type position was only hypothetical but he’s in talks with UT (saw it on an al.com’s Twitter).It's over. He's not coming here.

I'm a glass-half-full guy but this is looking less and less full going down the stretch. IDK, still think Nick has something to say about it before February.For those still hopeful, all new Crystal Ball predictions on 247 are for UT. Even BOL guys are flipping to UT.
I saw that also. Guessing Pruitt in going to bring in Propst and he is bringing JJ with him. Still a chance but not much of one.For those still hopeful, all new Crystal Ball predictions on 247 are for UT. Even BOL guys are flipping to UT.
Have to wonder if we`ll not move on to others after the championship game (?).I saw that also. Guessing Pruitt in going to bring in Propst and he is bringing JJ with him. Still a chance but not much of one.
The problem is that there aren't a whole lot of studs left in the 2018 recruiting cycle.Let him go to UT. We have great coaches who can get another stud and coach him up to be an all American.

True there is not a whole lot but there is still a good bit of top 150 players not committed or signed. Here is the 247 top 150 and if I counted correctly there is still 33 uncommitted/unsigned players.The problem is that there aren't a whole lot of studs left in the 2018 recruiting cycle.
