Choosing between LSU and Tennessee per reports



Cai Bates to announce college commitment on Wednesday

quote:

Florida four-star cornerback Cai Bates will reveal his college choice on Wednesday, July 26 at 6:30 p.m. ET from Edgewater High in Orlando, Fla.

Bates recently trimmed his double-digit scholarship offer list down to seven teams: Alabama, Colorado, Florida State, LSU, Texas A&M, Tennessee, and Ohio State.

Florida State, Alabama, Tennessee and LSU landed official visits in June, and the four-star defensive back made an unofficial visit to Ohio State’s campus.

LSU continues to hold the lead on the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (24%), but Tennessee, Alabama and FSU are all close behind.

Following five visits in the month of June, Bates told On3 that he was using the month of July to mull over a final decision before revealing his choice.

“It’s a tough decision, because you can’t go wrong with anyone,” he said. “You have to put feelings to the side and focus on the development and the facts. Is this somewhere I want to live? Is this somewhere I feel comfortable with other players around? All that. You really have to dig deeper.”

Bates is the No. 12 cornerback prospect and a Top 100 overall recruit on the On3 Industry Rankings.

The Tennessee board seems pretty resigned to it being us... sorry not sorry.

Does this mean we’re actually good at recruiting again? Way too many on the board said we couldn’t do that anymore

Steeples seems to be super excited about Ondre Evans as well. He’s a camp offer, and we know how those guys turn out.

If we can finish our CB class with Johnson, Foster, Evans, Bates, and Mack, watch out.

We're only good at recruiting until the next top guy is ready to commit and/or we miss on someone.

Either way, if we go into the weekend with Singleton and Bates committing in the last week that would be some serious momentum to build on before the splash.

And one CB decommitted not long ago. Maybe this guy was the reason for that? Hope so!

No doubt. I'm more throwing shade at the idiots on this board that melt when a recruit chooses another school, they don't think we're recruiting highly rated enough kids or other stupid thoughts...

Ory Williams could pop any time too and I'm hopeful we'll get a couple pops after this weekend.

Once bates fully gets his technique down, watch out.

He has ball skills from playing receiver.

Big, fast, strong kid that likes to press. He will be perfect for house's system.

I know. I was adding to your sentiment.

It’s Cai-day baby.

Ory is also looking like a lock.

Huge going into the splash weekend.

Things. Are. Looking. UP!!!

BTW, if Bates and Ory both commit this week, it literally bumps us up to 10, knocking TN out. How beautiful is that?

Reading that TN thread was one of the most satisfying things last night.

I had to keep scrolling up to make sure I wasn’t on pornhub because I was sprouting some serious wood.

Nothing definite but he feels like the type that could pop this weekend - between all the smoke and now being Fong'd.

Snagging Evans from Tennessee's backyard and now yanking (hopefully) Bates from their grasp is very satisfying.
