Tajh Mahal
Posted: November 3rd, 2008, 3:11 pm
No idea why I called this Tajh Mahal other than the fact that his name is Tajh. Sorry to disappoint any Indian BC posters who were looking for a connection to their homeland.
Get this. Tajh Boyd, a 5-star QB, was committed to West Virginia. He decommitted because WVU was looking bad in the early part of the year. Then, he committed... for some strange reason... to Tennessee. I'm not sure what the hell Boyd saw in Knoxville that wasn't happening in Morgantown this year.
So now, WVU is looking good again, and Tennessee sucks beyond belief. So bad in fact that Fulmer just got fired. Now, I'm no fan of Tennessee or anything, but the guy won a national title, a couple SEC titles, and won the East last year over UGA and Florida. He also has a knack for winning games he shouldn't win. Well, except for 2008.
Tennessee is in a transition year. They had to hire a new O-Coordinator, the former HC at Richmond Dave Clawson. He will get them going eventually. Tennessee always has a great RB, a great LB, and a great WR.
This is a sad day for college football. Phil Fulmer is a pretty good coach, and he's given a lot to that college. I also donot like how the AD adamently said he would not be fired. News says "stepped down" but come on now. We know the score. Fulmer was not ever stepping down and the admins knew that. I'm really disappointed in this move by Tennessee, and I dont like the way things are going in college football.
But what for Boyd now? He committed a few days ago. Does he stay at Tennessee? Why would he? I bet he ends up back at WVU. UNC could be a player here. I heard V-Tech was not want to miss Newsome and Boyd, so I expect Tech to throw the kitchen sink at Boyd now, as well. Will be interesting.
Now what happens to Philly WR Je'Ron Stokes? In addition, 5-star RB David Oku from Oklahoma also committed within the last week.
