Rumors are flying but no official word on Rajaan Bennett

We're about to enter the dark period during which coaches can't talk to recruits until signing day. Message boards are abuzz with rumors, especially that Rajaan Bennett has committed to Vandy, but it's being perpetuated by Vols fans so it could just be a cruel joke. Nothing official on the scout.com site, which has been doing a good job of breaking news of commitments over the past week or so.

Sounds like Bobby Johnson's on the road trying to lock up his biggest class ever. Some UK fans say he was in South Carolina today visiting Jerrell Priester, the athlete who's drawn comparisons to D.J. Moore and who's been rumored to be leaning toward Kentucky, after possibly stopping by Atlanta to see Bennett.

Who knows? Looking forward to Wednesday.

Keep up the great work on the recruiting trail. I know a number of Vandy fans that enjoy your postings. I hope we continue the momentum with this class and snake Rajaan. Nash is a joke, so I'm glad you've been treating him accordingly.

Thanks, Brooks.

Agreed with Brooks, good job on keeping the blog up to date. My take on the Bennett rumor is that it has been out for almost a day now, and there has been no one denying it. You would think that if it weren't true, some one in the Bennett would have at least come out and said something by now.

True, but I always get nervous when the boys in orange start congratulating Vandy fans. But maybe it's true and they can be magnanimous about it because they think they stole Nash from us and they just got a commitment from another 4-star running back. Fine with me. I'll take Rajaan over Nash any day.

If it makes you feel any better, Rajaan Bennett has canceled his trip to UT this weekend.

It does make me feel better. But it'll be nice when it's Wednesday and these kids have put pen to paper.
