'11 FL DE James Wilder Jr.

[Vols_Fanatic518]

Didnt TheDooley say to get ready for the big fish soon just a few days ago? Something about us going crazy.

TheDooley has been referring to the "big fish" in the Lamar Dawson thread, so I would assume that is the "big fish"

 

[Jwill10ut]

I'd be fine with that...

I wish this thread would go away.

I wish this thread would go away.

Don't open it.

If I'm gonna have a big fish on NSD I want it in the form of Tim Jernigan not James Wilder Jr.. That's just me though...

 

[Massey]

Don't open it.

are you saying you believe this junk?

I'll take either

 

[Indianavol4eva]

In that particular response I was saying if he wishes this thread would go away, it's very simple...don't open it.

 

[m1al]

I want Timmy and Mickey Johnson.. We've got a decent LB class.. A stout DL makes everybody behind them look better...

 

[Indianavol4eva]

So is Dooley landing this big fish?

 

[cascade11]

We told him we were already full with Smith, Lane, and DY.. He wanted to be a VFL, but we didn't have room.

 

[Indianavol4eva]

okay good. im glad we didn't drop DY to pick this guy up.

 

[cascade11]

Yeah once you tell a kid he has a spot, youd be just plain stupid to take somebody with more talent. Thats classless. We arent about being classless.

 

[Indianavol4eva]

hes probably just another five star bust. probably has a bad attitude too. glad we have a high character guy like DY instead.

 

[jspvol76]

His calves are too big.

 

[PaceFLVol]

As much as it pains people...I hope we would NOT kick a kid aside just because last minute some higher ranked kid decides he wants to be a VOL. If the staff wants to speak about character, then they need to display it as well. If we had 1 spot left and Wilder called and asked if CDD would take his LOI...and only DY had not came across the fax machine on NSD..but CDD knew it was coming..I hope he would tell Wilder thanks but no thanks. I think it would go a long way integrity wise for other recruits and parents to see our staff do the right thing. It's not ALL about the 5 star recruit IMO.

its not poor character, its doing your job. Dooley is here to win ball games, not make everyone feel good.

 

[volroadwarrior]

Don't worry, we will make room. All these guys will not come here and some will be on academic hold. Reel 'em in, adjust and adapt. OOh rah!!! USMC style.

 

[Crookruss]

Apparently we are going to just rehash the DY argument in every thread til NSD. Even in threads of players we have no chance with.

 

[Indianavol4eva]

gotta have something to do right?

 

[VOLNBAMA]

If JW wanted to come here and we told him no because of DY then kudos to Dooley. It would have been classless to take him.

Ok, so what exactly do you do when your CDD, your recruiting is NOT going so well and your in that 3 star kids Livingroom talking to his parents and trying to get him to really consider coming to Tennessee. His mother looks at you and says, "My only concern is the way you promised those kids last year a spot and then hung them out to dry 2 days before NSD".

Would you tell her sorry but this is a cut throat business and I will recruit over anyone I need to if it benefits me and my job? Maybe you would lie to her and tell her it was a one time thing and would never happen again.

Either way I think your setting yourself up for failure. Just because a kid has another star by his name...does not mean he will equate to another win per year. Character and doing what is right sometimes is the way to go. JMO

You do not say no to a Wilder type player. It was probably nothing more than someone blowing smoke. I have to admit though, rumors make the board interesting.
