Tennessee recruiting boards telling their fans that this is too close of a battle to call. Their Rivals site is saying they believe Tennessee has a slight lead at this point. Their 247 writer won't say that. He said the following last night:
Can’t say that at the moment. It’s been more of a battle down the stretch than a lot of people seem to realize. I think there’s still a pretty decent chance Tennessee can win out in the end, but the Vols need to make a move down the stretch, in my opinion. Horton legitimately likes Miami, so I still could see this one going either way.
There initially was some talk of Horton deciding sooner, and if he had done that, I think Miami had a real shot at landing him. But Horton taking an extra week or so — he told me earlier that he’s going to announce on the 26th, but everything else I’ve heard suggests it’s going to be the 28th, so it’ll be sometime around then — should give Tennessee more time to make a late push and a better chance of winning the battle. But it’s a close one right now.
I'm not necessarily saying Tennessee is trailing. I just think it's much, much more up in the air than a lot of Tennessee fans have been assuming. As I said, I think the Vols have a pretty decent chance of winning out in the end, but they have some work to do down the stretch to win this battle. I think it's very realistic for that to happen, but it's far from a done deal.
