Teague was not an SEC caliber athlete. Unfortunately we had way too many marginal players occupy a scholarship over a 4-5 year period during Dooley's tenure. It is quite amazing how 3 years ago quality football players wouldn't sniff Knoxville. The people truly make the place. Thank goodness for Dave Hart having the foresite to hire Butch Jones. Love the direction our program is headed.

Darel Middleton was kicked off his team apparently. I would cut ties with them both. I'm not a fan of taking East TN kids in general because of the subpar talent they face (Aaron Douglas is an exception), but especially when the kids have grade concerns, attitude problems, or transfer 2-3 times because they can't get their sh*t together.
As a man who played in one of the hardest divisions in east TN, I can't really disagree with the talent argument.
But we also said the same thing about some kid from a tiny AA school named Randall Cobb who wanted a shot at QB. I hear he's doing ok now.
