Fulmer’s Stepping Down Has Giles Looking Elsewhere
Posted Nov 3, 2008 by Katherine Smith

It didn’t take Jarvis Giles long to decide the University of Tennessee was the school for him. The Gaither senior tailback verbally committed to Tennessee back in June during a visit.
But does the news that Volunteers coach Phil Fulmer is out at the end of the regular season have Giles reconsidering his decision?
“This is affecting me big time,” Giles said. “I don’t really know what I’m going to do. Right now, I’m trying to line up an official visit to South Carolina.”
The Gamecocks were one of several Division I schools to offer Giles a scholarship. The others included Florida, Florida State and Georgia.
Fulmer’s leaving doesn’t just affect Giles. Tennessee heavily recruited in Hillsborough County this season and has made many offers including Armwood’s Angelo Hadley, Ryne Giddins and Petey Smith and Plant’s Orson Charles.

As a fan of Tenn, I can honestly tell you that Fulmer would not be let go unless they already had a better option to replace him with.. These kids that have committed to Tenn do not need to worry cuz thios will be an improvment for the entire Big Orange nation.. Stay the course guys and we will be back in National Championship contention..

Giles is too finesse for the SEC as a running back. He should go to FAU or Troy or some place like that. He won’t make an impact in the SEC.

We are domed! The “Big Orange” will be crushed for several years. Maybe 5 to 8. We suck!
Go Vols!
