Thinks for reminding people they are assuming WAAAY TOO MUCH, and we all know what happens when we assume.

Good answer. :good!:

Would you rather have Vonn Bell or Jalen Ramsey?

Ill take both.......Eric Berry and Deon Grant :dance2:

Good lord people step away from the ledge. It's always been the same story for Bell. He's a wait and see guy, and if we have a good season this year, he's ours.

Even if he did silent to OSU, we have the whole season to change his mind. Seeing UT put up 8-9 wins and have a good year it'll be hard for VB to turn down the school he grew up loving and dreaming to play for.

I totally agree with this. Based on what Bell himself has said, I have always expected him to be a Vol on NSD if we have a good year on the field. I see no reason to change my mind, especially based on some internet rumor.

We all need to just take a chill-out pill and wait for the season to play itself out. If Tennessee wins 8-10 games, Dooley is off the hot seat and our recruiting clout will drastically improve.

I honestly can't pick between those two. That's like asking a guy to pick between a woman's two "assets" lol.

Vonn Bell hasn't "camped" as much as Ramsey therefore he hasn't gained as much "publicity", but I think he has more potential and a higher ceiling. Ramsey is unreal, but he just didn't vibe well with UT. If we won more than 5 games we wouldn't be talking about this. BOTH
Wish we could keep the top prospects at home.

Bell. Seems like the type of guy who bleeds orange and will give his all for Tennessee. Really hope he follows his heart and not phoney baloney west coast flim flam.

Ramsey to me, his size, speed, and freak athleticism for a CB is rare. Seems like you made it personal. Lol

I wouldn't say that Dooley is off the hot seat with just an 8 win season. Any half decent coach could win 8 games with the roster and schedule we have this year.

8 wins might buy him another season. 10
Wins would take him off the hot seat at least for the next season.

8 wins is enough to take him off the axe list. The last thing we need is another coaching change.

Not if you bring in the right coach.

I like Dooley and want him to succeed, but if he can't win more than 8 games this year, when will he ever?

We can't keep somebody around because "we don't need another coaching change". We need to win, plain and simple.

Yeah, that excuse is getting tired.

Did I miss something? Why did everyone, all of a sudden, lose optimism about recruiting Bell? I'm fully aware of the "rumors" from his tOSU visit. Obviously, they weren't true. So, was it VN being VN?

I'm just wondering because the mood in this thread plummeted.

I've lost nothing. Freaking out is crazy now. It's recruiting and these are kids. This kid will be a Vol when it's all said and done. Even if Dooley gets canned we'll make a superstar hire. Bama winning big has put the pressure on from the alumni. Hart can't play around. So I'm not worried.

Probably because the last few big time in-state recruits have shunned UT.

?

Ramsey... but what about Carr, Sanders, and JRM ?

 

[Rockytopman]

Good grief fellas...let him have fun and enjoy the process.

Ramsey is your only recruit. Lots of things going against use there. We didn't pursue Herron. Who else? No one.

 

[flowd82]

?

I understand the point you are getting at. But Carr isn't 100% to UT & is listening seriously to Ole Miss, JRM is still undecided, and Sanders isn't necessarily what I would consider a "big-time" recruit.

Ramsey is the only elite, in-state prospect UT has lost out on this recruiting cycle, because UT didn't continue to pursue Herron IIRC. But losing JRM or Bell would be inexcusable, IMO. CDD also needs to hold on to Carr. Landing JRM and Gray would certainly help.

How is Sanders not a big time recruit? If he opened up his recruitment tomorrow, he'd have a dozen calls by lunch time.
