What's up with Barnett?

Tux, Rev, what do we know about Barnett being shaky at this late date? What's the problem? I thought he was solid and also very tight with the legacy kids! Sounds like Hugh Freese is trying to make a late run at him.

Michael Sawyers is in his ear. In my opinion if he visited Ole Miss, all bets are off about UT winning out.

FranklinVol seems to be close to this situation. Here's his updated post on Barnett.

Didn't have anything new last night and don't this early AM. Should know more later today/tonight. Problem is I'm traveling today and even though I'm expecting a phone call about this, I may not be able to post until tonight. As of this moment, I still think Derek will be a Vol. I know he really likes the DL coach at MO and I think they are trying to get him to visit to "make sure" while UT is saying "you're a Vol. Why visit somewhere else?" He's 17 and it's a big decision. Again, unless I hear otherwise, I still believe that it goes our way next Wednesday. Can't imagine the weekend going any better for him and his mom last weekend and she is squarely in our corner. Have a great day Big Orange brothers and sisters! Hope we get Scott today!

The only thing I can think of is that it is silly season ... that is, nothing makes sense. Perhaps he wants a free trip. Perhaps he wants to feel some love. Perhaps a girl catches his ey. Perhaps he is genuinely concerned about something at Tennessee.

It happens every year, and about every other year we will lose a "solid" recruit we think would never flip (e.g. Peters to Arkansas in 2012, or J.C. Copeland in 2010) ... it hurts, but it happens, and it is part of the excitement of recruiting because it works both ways. :)
