Tennessee has offered the most recruits in the country

[diehardvolsfan]

Looks like Chip isn't even trying out in LA

Probably will be gone by 2020 ....

Well after reading the article in the Tennessean this morning, it makes you wonder why we aren’t getting Tennessee kids. They are going to Clemson, Georgia, South Carolina, LSU, Mississippi State, USC, Vandy, Oklahoma, Notre Dame and several other schools that apparently aren’t good enough to play for us. Tennessee has turned into a major recruiting pool and we are missing out in our own backyard.

How'd that work for CBJ?

i wouldn't read too much in that. there was some fishy things going on with how prospects were being ranked. you look at the rstate rankings for TN at Rivals and 247, you'll see some drastic differences.

we're going after who we wanted in state.

next year, i think you'll see a bigger push for in state guys, as the 20 class is pretty loaded across the board, especially on the OL.

So we just need 5.6 percent success to get out 25 people.

Or he's just throwing shizz against the wall hoping something sticks.

That's pretty much what every coach is doing, Alabama has offered 285 prospects and they have several distinct advantages

The more times you bat, means the more opportunities you have to get a homerun.

Bonds struck out a lot but he hit a lot of homers

 

[ru4real-really?]

actually it only takes a postage stamp and a form letter to extend an offer!

Disappointing that my offer failed to materialize!

 

[slickvol]

Used to be that way myself, been kicked in the nuts by UT Football too many times to be that way now.

Amen

And a $500 handshake? Amirite?

 

[utvolpj]

I'm guessing write a few of these could be leftover offers from the last staff. They seemed to employ the shotgun approach to recruiting

 

[ru4real-really?]

What happens if they all say YES?

sanctions

 

[YankeeVol]

What happens if they all say YES?

I don't think we can pay ALL of them...

this was the thought when Butch put out a lot of offers. people were so happy that Pruitt was so much more selective.

Nah, Jim Mora's buyout was $12 million, plus they had to buyout his staff. Kelly has a flat $9 million reciprocal buyout, plus his staff's buyouts if he is fired without cause in the within 4 years. Chip will be there a minimum of 4 years, but after or during the 2020 season they might can him if he doesn't get it together.

UCLA was one of the few schools dumber than UT when it came to extensions/buyouts for bad coaches.

Does it really matter?

No, only the results matter.

correct. the number is inflated, by how much, not sure. but it does include offers from the previous staff.

 

[FïreBall]

It doesn't take much effort to extend an offer.

Takes more effort than not extending one at all...

 

[volfanhill]

What happens if they all say YES?

After having two years to develop we will finally beat Vandy.

Dude that's what recruiting is...LOL

Does it really matter?

You can’t win the prize if you don’t buy the raffle ticket!

 

[BDP!]

Thought this was interesting.

Thought this was interesting.

Not sure I believe this to be accurate.

Not surprised that this would be your take.

Not really. If two staffs scout the same player, and one decides to send an offer while the other does not, they've done pretty much the same amount of work.
