'17 IN QB Hunter Johnson (Former UT Commit 8/23/15) (Clemson commit)

[BruinVol]

Does he count toward the '14 or '16 class?

They leave the program at the same time baring a redshirt. They are physically mature or the same age. That was the point

 

[AV_12]

Outside of the top 15 perks your "interest" of concern for future classes?


I can respect that but IMO it's top20

we really needed another elite one. This one isn't going to be it

 

[AV_12]

Top 15

Same

NTB is a troll

A good diagnosis I would say. All of the symptoms are on full display: Take note of: 1) the passion of his arguments intensifies when confronted with reasonable but positive facts. 2) he has claimed insider information even though said info makes no sense 3) 100% negative; 100% of the time 4) he demands factual evidence in support of positive opinions but provides nothing in support of negative ones except more debatable statements.

You do realize the key classes were the past 2? Those players are who win next yes championship. This current class is a depth class. There aren't starting positions just wide open and available to sell. This class now is all about depth and development players. The positions we need high end players at we are getting. Osborne a top 100 guy at corner. JG the #1 dual threat QB in country in 247 composite and top 40 player on rivals. #1 Juco DE and and #1 Juco DT. Top OT in the state in Ryan Johnson. Lead for top OG Dickerson. Good chance we land Derek Brown and Nigel Warrior two more studs that visit last wknd before NSD. Plenty of time left before NSD. Asst Coaches will be moving all over country soon making kids look around again.

The #1 Juco DE is not looking good for us anymore.

Also, so those two classes are all we needed to get over the top, huh?

I love Butch, but the amount of transfers, and lack of recruiting momentum in December has to give you a sign of pause, right?

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Not sure how my argument is flawed when the recruiting class is poor, VQ has no positive earth shattering news on new recruits they are pursuing, plus HJ just decommited.

I'll tell you what, no matter the coach, some of yall will never question a coach's recruiting or coaching ability until they are fired.

The way you're talking, you're acting like we basically lost the rest of our recruiting class. You're either a troll or you're trying your best to sound smart. Either way, it's not working.

In a 4 year span if the worst is 15-20 and the others are top 10 I have zero worries this program can achieve elite things

 

[NTBVOL]

Your full a ****. Just a troll.

Care to give your two cents about why we shouldn't be worried about recruiting when there are only 18 recruiting days left this year?

After events like this I totally get why a lot of CFB fans make fun of our fan base.

I'm still looking for the reasonable, positive stats though :/

All I'm hearing is "we'll close strong because we always do."

I'm trying to point out that two years is not a good sample size and the circumstances of those two years are not prevalent this year.

 

[NTBVOL]

😂😂

Great insight.

 

[DjVFL0773]

None of us (including you) know who will and will not succeed at Tn. Based off the little I have seen of him, I think he can be a good Qb imo.

He can be a awesome QB. JG is our future tho. I'm almost certain he will start as a soph. We need fast shifty qb's. We're not a pass first offense.

Yeah, many fans laughed at how much we defended Dooley, and are starting to laugh the same way at how yall defend Butch.

A week is an even worse sample size. We may not be able to make up the ground that we lost but the sky isn't falling just yet.

You love Butch? I hope you are not married. If you are she better watch her back.

 

[Power T-Rev]

Those legacy recruits sure helped hide Butch's recruiting weaknesses.

I'm waiting for you to start saying that it's Butch's fault that ISIS is running amuck

 

[Power T-Rev]

But you said you loved Butch. Which one is it?

Are you saying Butch is in the same boat as Dooley after one week of bad recruiting?

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Wait, has this recruiting cycle only been a week? UT has been recruiting these guys for 18+ months.

 

[NTBVOL]

But you said you loved Butch. Which one is it?

I can like a coach as a person, but still be critical of his job.

That's the difference guys. You are defending him because you love UT, but Butch loves UT because that's where he gets his paycheck. I support him, but I'm not going to be naive about the lackluster recruiting that has taken place this year.

 

[NTBVOL]

He's recruited this class for longer than a week.

 

[NTBVOL]

Where are we ranked in recruiting in the SEC?

 

[Ethan Hooper]

I hate to see him go, but I think we just sealed the deal with Lawrence.
