You have to also realize there are JuCo players that are really good that you wouldn't have been able to sign out of HS due to grades and other circumstances. This is just he first time you've had the chance to sign them.

Yep. Look at what Bama did with Jarran reed in the 2014 class. Everybody was asking why they would take a JUCO DT with 2 years to play when they had so much young talent at DT already. Two years later and he was a key piece in the best front seven in the country and a shoe in to be a first round pick.

Are you implying that the highly paid coaches may know more about recruiting than the average VN poster. Hogwash I say!:)

On the subject of JUCOs:

Pearson
Williams
Martin
Kamara

That is all. You guys can resume beating each other over the head with your only take HS player nonsense.

I never understand why some of you guys try to put quotas on things. "This many instate players per year," "this many JUCOs."

You take who you think will help you win. If it's a good crop of JUCOs, you take JUCOs. If the instate pool is great, you build the fence. There's no quota.

Still butthurt I see. 3 out of the 4 years Butch has been here. Some would suggest it is a trend we take multiple JUCOs every year. I didn't even include the 2013 class seeing as though he had to put it together on short notice. Funny when people attempt to be snarky and end up looking like an imbecile themselves. Keep up the good work Danny.

Why? Because you say so? My opinion is the long term health of a program thrives better by bringing freshmen in and developing them to contribute for multiple years. Not to mention, many JUCO players struggled with grades to be in the position to be a JUCO player to begin with. And what exactly does that list prove? I mean I can name a bunch of players that came to this program as freshmen and succeeded as well. Personally I think your whole point is ridiculous. Here's 5 guys that didn't live up to their hype.

Dontavius Blair
Darrington Sentimore
Kenny O'Neal
Maurice Couch
Brent Vinson


And Cordarrelle was a one and done kid that could barely last a semester without flunking out. The 'JUCO game' that you slung parenthesis around isn't about getting a timely recruit or 2. It's relying on 4-5 guys every recruiting period to fill out a class. So next time think a little longer before you refer to something as ridiculous and hit send.

Per Hubbs

Tennessee coaches met with Jeffery Simmons Thursday night on their way back to Knoxville. Like Clark, that one feels like a long shot but the Vols haven't given up there, either. He will see Ole Miss this weekend and we continue to hear it's between Ole Miss, Alabama and Mississippi State.

If Tennessee misses out on Brown, Kongbo, Simmons and Clark, at this point we don't see them taking another defensive lineman. Instead, look for that spot to go to a skill player, likely Moss or Williams, maybe both depending on how things work out.

No them type of actions are a sign of bigger problems. Good luck, but he will have much bigger hurdles now and he should. He has some issues that need to be addressed, this wasn't some guy attacking him this was him hitting a woman down on the ground. The video shows it for what it was, pure thuggish hitting a woman who was already on the ground.

There's a bit more to the story than him just punching a woman on the ground.
