Evan Berry?/

I don't know if any of you guys saw the story, but apparently Eric Berry's 13 year old brother has verbally committed to Tennessee and Lane Kiffin.

Yes, there's no typo! The kid is only 13. By my count(unless he some genius "Man-Child) Berry isn't even in high school yet! This seems to be no problem for Lane Kiffin who continues to astound me from the director's chair in Knoxville.

What will he do next? The circus that is on 'Rocky-top" these days seems to be gradually growing into an even bigger circuse as time passes. I guess next up for Kiffin is to call Urban Meyer and gloat about recruiting a thirteen year old boy to come play with him....I mean for him.

How do we even know this kids got what it takes? That's why I am resigned to posting here, and just watching the games. I don't think that I can handle anymore back and forth banter between myself and an Alabama fan over whether or not a seventeen year old is going to commit to my school next February.

I think I'll just watch it all play out starting September 4th.

My gut tells me that this season will be pleasing to Auburn fans because we'll win 7 or so, and it will be discouraging to Alabama fans because I think that they will win 9 at the most. So, I'll take my leave and wait patiently for the season to begin....and I'll leave recruiting up to the guys that actually know what's going on(minus Lane Kiffin)........

No surprise

Father went there Brother went there. Wouldnt expect him to act like an individual and make his own choices based on the information at hand when its time to make that decision, would you? That would just make too much sense

I started high school at 12

it is possible. Cause i heard he was a 9th grader – maybe upcoming, which would make sense.

Anyway, I agree with skip. Not really surprising news other than he is really young. Also he has four years to prove to be a good commit or not.

I think it is odd that Kiffen has already offered him a sholly at 13 yoa. But I don’t fault the kid for accepting it, especially since he is a life long UT fan. From what I have read, his father played for UT, now his older brother plays for UT, it seems like playing for them is his dream come true. You can’t fault the kid for that when a lot of other kids would do the same thing if it meant playing for the team they love.
