I just spoke with Palmer and it is going to be an interesting finish to this race.
Tennessee gets the middle visit this week. They will be in his home Wednesday. Nebraska is Tuesday and Thursday is NC State.
I talked with Jesse a few days ago and I told him NC State and Nebraska were in good positions from what I had heard. They made his top three with Tennessee, who made a big move over the weekend.
If I had to say who I personally feel has the slight edge entering this week based on what I am hearing, it is NC State. It is a very tight race though. They have really done an excellent job recruiting him from what I hear.
Now, on what Palmer said about Tennessee, here are some quotes:
"I did think Tennessee was going to be one of my finalists before the visit. I knew what Jeremy Pruitt was about, he knows what he is talking about and he knows all about my position.
"Coach Pruitt knowing about defensive backs definitely helps them. He knows what he is talking about, he knows how to coach my position and he coaches a great defensive system.
"The best thing about the visit was the people, the staff. The staff knows the game and the players made me feel at home. That with the educational program stood out to me."
Obviously this is a big week for Palmer and his family. He is not taking a visit this weekend, so he is just going to do the final in-home visits with each staff, then figure things out. He said he is not sure when he will know his decision, but he is just going to pray on it and talk about it with his parents a lot.
