i already said pennington..he was the qb...again people i was just discussing the east tn who went to ut...this does not need to be a discussion about the dozen or so players that are legitimate in the past 15 years...which is still basically pathetic considering almost anywhere in the south produces kids...it is a fact that not many east tn kids who end up at ut do anything worthwhile...i know that may ruffle some local feathers but it is just the way it is...the purpose was to say that if bruce was not apart of the class for some reason or told to grey/blue shirt then you probably have a higher percentage chance that the player taking his spot will be better is all...i hope bruce is a great vol...he definitely reps ut and bleeds orange...im just talking percentage/chance and nothing more...each individuals success is up to them alone

Sapp is more important to the long term success of this team than Bruce? Let me guess because he is a 4* and Bruce is a 3*?? Gimme a break.

No Bruce is either a rb, slot reciever, or db. We are pretty solid at all those positions. Sapp is a olb with some good offers from some really good programs. Bruce although a solid player isn't on the level of a player like Sapp. Now I hope Bruce proves me wrong and becomes a great player for our vols but I like he will be a good special teams player someone great in the locker room and someone to add some depth at whatever position he ends up playing. Either way I'm glad he is a vol especially since he has always wanted to be one but he is not on the same radar as a player like Sapp.

I remember reading something like that a while back. DeerPark over in the FF is saying he is 100 percent sure Paulk will not be back. Bob "check my stats" Mueller says he will. Interesting to see what happens,

EazyTD said he would too. I'm not sure what his source is exactly but it seems he does have one.

The timing here is at least interesting because at one point, it was being said that the reason Sapp hadn't committed was because of how they treated Paulk. Now, a couple of guys with sources say Paulk is coming back and the next day Sapp sets a commitment date for the next day. Not that he had much time left but its still interesting.

Drop Bruce. I know, I know, he is a local kid and grew up dreaming about being a Vol. Sapp is more important to th long term success of this team than Bruce. Drop Bruce take Sapp and keep Oliver. Bruce can wear a blue or grey shirt if he can pass NCAA muster. Get the best players in if you want to win.

Since last night Callahan over on 247 seems kind of unsure about Sapp being a Vol. He has been saying he keeps hearing a lot of Michigan State chatter with him.

Would be ok with this as long as we can suppliment an OT like Richmond or Allen

I'd like both. You make the room for guys like that IMO.

With that said it's crazy how all over the board the mods on TOS are. 247 says they are still going after Allen and VQ basically says he's lost his chance.

And they talk about fans being all over the place when it gets closer to signing day.... :)

I like Sapp as a player but I'm perfectly fine landing Richmond and Allen and him taking his indecisiveness elsewhere.

And before someone starts with the holier than thou most important decision of his life crap, this is Michigan State and UT. There should be no decision for a kid from Georgia.

That doesn't make sense to me. I mean I could see them maybe passing on Allen if Richmond was committed but we're definitely pursuing Richmond so we have a spot for another OT. Allen to me is a safer bet to sign NSD if you can get his commitment.

My thoughts exactly. It makes zero sense to me. They want Richmond but feel he is an extreme longshot, but yet they don't have room for Allen who they've been recruiting hard for a long time and who also plays at a position they have been in full blown scramble mode at for months...Just odd.

Maybe it's just fatigue with this kid at this point for me, but I just couldn't care less about Sapp. If he commits, meh. If he goes elsewhere, meh. I really just want either Allen or Richmond and to hold onto Bussey and I'm good. Sapp?...... Whatever.

We need another athletic OLB.

He is a top 300 player on ESPN, Top 250 on Rivals and in the Top 247 composite.

Every site has him as a 4* so he will help our class ranking.

He looks like a future JRM type LB in a few years.

I am pumped.

I do not have the info to debate which player is the best college prospect... however the bolded portion is not true. The RB position returns one player with any experience and Kamara that most consider a sure bet. Behind them... there's no one who can be counted on to play at this point. If Wharton leaves then the slot position is suddenly thin. If Jenkins goes too it becomes very thin. There is decent talent at S but UT needs more CB's which is where I believe he would project.

Agreed everyone acts like because we have 2 good players somewhere we are now as deep as an SEC Title contender should be.

We are still paper thin in a few spots and this class is really doing a great job with our overall depth pretty much everywhere but probably OT unless we land one of Richmond or Allen.

All in all about as perfect of a class as you could ask for.
