I've read the primary reason he is visiting is because his sister wants to play softball for UT.
I really don't care what got him here, we will get to show the program, facilities, and he gets to meet "the family". If they don't visit, you ain't in it. Kinda wish Stokes was here :) JMO

That "dink and dunk" offense he runs is a no huddle, 2 TE set out of the shotgun. The plays are signaled in just before the snap. Does it remind you of something familiar? His videos sure do remind me of last years UT offense. :)
By the way, he has a receiver and an HB/TE on that team that are very good 2010 recruits, IMO.
On QB Petty commits to Vols after impressing coaches at camp

He was one of the top QB at the June 6th Elite 11 camp in Fort Worth. Since his camp showing, Nebraska, Oklahoma, TX A&M, & Arky have been at his school. He was at OK camp just before ours and their Rivals site said he impressed the staff and was a definite D1 QB prospect. UT actually visited him in April and invited him to camp and he impressed enough to get an offer. Fans complain when the staff takes too long to evaluate a recruit before offering but still complain when we evaluate, offer and get a commit before the other big hitters. Shofield and Phillips stock will rise and we are going to have to fight to hang onto them too. Don't expect Arky, OK, Nebraska or TX A&M to back off recruiting Petty either. Oh, he also just turned 17. JMO, but I think we got another good one.

The NFL doesn't care what school or conference you play in, they just want the best athletes no matter where they find them. UT should be no different.
The coaches have seen him up close and personal, competing alongside other OL recruits. Perhaps the other OL were offered over Jackson because the other OL are better? Isn't player evaluation one of the purposes of camps?

I think it is Hood's best interest to get as far away from East TN as he can. Unfortunately, he is now a national recruit and this is going to dog him. Whatever idiot appealed the case and allowed this info to become unsealed public record needs to be flogged. JMO

He is a good looking prospect and I'm sure he will do fine and be offered.
On Looks like last chance for Jackson to get offer from Vols

"This is the kid with the major, major character issues, correct?"
Understated, but correct!

Well, the KNS certainly gave a certain UT player a lot of grief for having a toy gun. I guess it's OK if the gun is real though?

ONUV, it clearly says on rivals that he was at the elite 11 camp!! Good enough for me, how bout you? We all remember what James Banks ranked coming outta high school and we all remember end result. This kid is lean, could put on another 15 pounds and look good. Impressed me that he had Harvard on his list along with Stanford, not to mentiona 4.6GPA!!!!! GOVOLS!!!!!!!
DaddyVol, what I also remember about James Banks was that he was a legitimate play maker.
