Plenty of people saw this coming earlier this week, but it doesn't take away from the fact that it's a bit disappointing for Tennessee football and recruiting fans. Moments ago, 5-star offensive lineman Darius Gray announced his commitment and he picked South Carolina. This came after 5-star target Savion Hiter committed to Michigan on Tuesday.
When Steve Wiltfong put in his official prediction for the Gamecocks to land Gray, it felt like any chance was lost for Tennessee, even if Gray had given Vols fans everywhere a glimmer of hope thanks to a recent social media post.
