I believe he will stay as well but what will you say if he leaves?

aid today he is open. LSU leads by multiple sources.
today they're saying this? where? everything I've read on ut's boards is that he may be locked into being an EE being that he was on campus last night and today (spotted on campus several times today, despite reports that he was going home). The AD said he is not giving a waver to those kids.

New news

I was listening to UT radio and they are saying that if the recruits were on campus at 12:01 then the clock starts and they are Vols.

well it's now 1:25 CST

Vols AD said they will not release them

I figure all of the kids would be off campus immediately after yesterday's news. And there will be huge outcry if one of the guys was making arrangements to go home but couldn't get in touch and is therefore forced to stay in Knoxville.

I am calling bullshite on the Tenn AD.

Doesn't matter,the NCAA should allow transfer,because this meets their criteria of exceptional circumstances. We shall see!

Hamilton should be fired as AD. The guy is a low life and basically still clinging to the Bruce Pearl hire (which was only average IMO). The UT fans are calling for Hamilton and I couldn't agree more. He should have been fired sooner. Their athletics program is a joke and with all of the off the field/court stuff, he needs to be gone.

All this talk is pure speculation.No one knows where Smith is but he and his family/friends.WE will all know when he decides and tells people.I'm not going to believe any sites or Tennessee fans word right now.Tennessee fans are grasping at anything with some hope in it right now and the sites are in the business of making money.When someone has some qoutes from the kid I'll listen.

I know the AD is trying to save the class....but trying to trap a kid after entire just bolted to USC...on the eve of classes starting.

I am sorry, but that isn't going to fly at the NCAA...

aint no way...if the kid wants to leave, he should be granted, PERIOD!

So you think Tennessee won't give a release to kids who committed believing the coaches would be there?

several eye witness reports had him on campus this morning and around noon. it's not hard to believe, don't know why you insist it's grasping at straws. this is how a lot of these things are reported

I'm saying it's not suggested anywhere that these kids were scrambling to leave yesterday/this a.m. and were trapped there by the admin

if indeed the rule you posted earlier is true, i bet none of the recruits knew about it.

One of UT administrators was on there earlier and he said He would Not allow them out of their LOI and that if they wanted to transfer they would face NCAA sanctions.
