13 yr old commits to Vols

[Goodfellas]

Tennessee has received its first commitment for the Class of 2013. That's right, 2013. Evan Berry, brother of UT All-American safety Eric Berry, has committed to the Vols even before beginning his freshman season in high school.

Way too early....

Lane Kiffin must committed some kind of violation here. He breaks a rule practically every day.

How could this not be against some NCAA Rule?

[Goodfellas]

Cause he just said he is going there he didnt officially sign anything

I wonder who initiated the the conversation that lead to a verbal commitment?

That boy is too young....:cloud:

I dunno pretty soon you are going to hear about elementary school kids.

This is very strange for football, basketball it's more common practice although no one talks about it. I remember having college coaches come recruit me back in 95 before i even got to high school. Football they are way more stringent though.

Of course this is Tennessee and like Goodfellas said it's only a verbal.
