Hope he does. Would love to get the DT ball rolling. I think once 1 pulls the trigger, we could see several decide. Especially if we are only taking 2 DTs. I hope we take more than that and not hold a spot for another CB or anyhing other than DT.

OL

GS Dews
Powell sticks
Bryant qualifies and sticks

Is how I hope we finish.

Who or what do we take if we can't get Blair or a solid OT?

I would like to see us take another corner then.

If we don't get Blair or another Juco OL, then I would take Mosley and see where he fits best. There are still a few Juco OL guys that hold UT offers out there. I also think we have kids who are currently committed or on the roster who can play OT. Just for this class Brown is a OT and Raulerson said the staff told him he could see time at OG or OT.

It sounds like we are taking Mosley if we can regardless.

I think the future of our OL lies in next year's class. That sounds awful with how much we lose after this year but the amount of offensive line talent we are in on already for the 15 class is sick.

I would not be surprised if the 2015 class consists of Stewart, Jones, and Richmond. Not sure we will have room to take more than that. That would be (3) good ones from in state.

As it should be.

They only got Emmanuel Smith by default.

Yep he only chose vandy because franklin kept telling him he couldn't beat out Todd Kelly which is true but sad he can only get them by trash talking TN or recruiting for other teams like Vonn to osu

Thanks to Butch Jones, Vandy is going to strike out on almost all of their top instate targets this year.

And if that occurs, it should be the handwriting on the proverbial wall that informs Franklin, "I need to get out of Dodge at the earliest opportune moment because my stock is going south in a hurry."

If a coach told me that, there is no way I would go play for them. I would tell Franklin that he didn't no what I had inside me with the right training and that if developed properly my potential is through the roof! He basically says we are not as good here at Vandy. Come play for us and you could start...LOL :bash: Franklin...

This APR thing IMO is blown way out of proportion. Have the players who left during all these coaching changes not caused it to drop a fair amount? Which would be more of a reflection of our program being in the gutter rather than a reflection of our academic standards.

Insert Butch Jones = problem solved

Once explained to these parents, Franklin's little tactics are actually gonna work against him....make him look like the douche he is. Just my opinion

You ask me for a study to prove a statement that I didn't even make. Then you provide your unstudied opinion and some made up statistics about MTSU versus Vanderbilt. MTSU? Your response is poor rhetoric.

All I am doing is trying to counter the idiocy of some of the comments in the forum. Vanderbilt is academically superior to UT. I am not saying that Vanderbilt offers better academic opportunities to student athletes; I don't care--I never attempted to address the point. Again, I am simply countering the blanket statement that UT is as good as Vanderbilt academically.

Sh*t it got all debate team up in here yesterday. Poor rhetoric, countering, idiocy. Possible proper use of a semi-colon, too. Bet no one here could actually say for certain without a quick google search though. :D

Found this encouraging nugget from LWSVOL, a long-time, well-connected and very respected poster on another site.

Williams, Barnett and Mosley (he might end up on OL) should end up Vols, IMO

Big news from him. He calls them like he sees them, and that usually can be either good or bad. Great news here.

Vandy will go back to being the Possum of the SEC! Play dead at home and get killed on the road.
No worries about them.:eek:lol:

Dooley curse... Our fans now think Vandy is the team to overcome. Butch isn't landing kids to beat Vandy. Beating Vandy is not the goal for crying out loud.
