'17 TN ATH Jacoby Stevens (LSU commit)

[Vol464]

lots of elite prospects out there in plenty of states we will get ours.

If we don't get elite prospects from Tennessee, it will be a failure.

Not really. Not every prospect in the State of Tn wants to be a Vol. Example Jalen Ramsey. Dooley recruited Jalen very hard and he just had no interest in coming here to play

I'm not buying that Dooley recruited someone hard.

Actually Jalen said himself CDD recruited him very hard. He just had no interest in coming here. I will see if I can link an article

Actually to follow up on my post I went back and re read the article and they refused to let him into Brentwood because of bridges he had burnt. In that case Dooley screwed the pooch on Ramsey as well. My bad fellas.

We agree a lot on here. Not this time. If we are top five without a few of these, that is not how I would define failure.

Well, he might've been hard since he had that orange dog thing to look at, but it had nothing to do with how he recruited.

Agree.

However, how many are we serious contenders for that are this elite?

Win and then watch. Lose and then watch. That would not be pretty.

I got it...course I assume it about every post.

I wouldn't have had interest in Tennessee either at that time.

Are you hitting the shine again?

 

[JacketVol]

All the time..............me get some shine

It doesn't matter where the stars come from as long as they come. If we relied on in state talent every recruiting class we wouldn't be a very good program because outside of this class it's isn't anything to worry over.

This seems to be a special class though. It's hard to believe the majority are looking elsewhere, or at least that's what it seems

A lot of the good instate players aren't very interested it seems...

Let's act like Virginia is Tennessee this year. Seems we are going okay there

 

[sanddune50]

Which ones?

I don't understand why it is hard to believe? Kids like to leave the state sometimes, the state has no hold on them and why should it? Go out and get your players, there is a reason why we have the largest recruiting budget, use it.

Actually there is alot more interested in Tennessee than they have been in awhile. Talking to people it seems that if CBJ takes another step forward this year than we could really take a step forward with the kids in state. Top flight kids want to see WINS. If CBJ can produce that then the recruitment process will start to take care of itself.

Which of the top kids? Sure a lot of marginal Tennessee boys are "really" interested, guys down the list. That would probably be the best offer they get. It seems like all the cream wants to go anywhere but UT. And I don't care what you guys say, that is not good. If all we end up with is Higgins and Smith, and worst case not even them...then that is bad. If recruiting was going great guns everywhere but Tennessee that would be one thing, but it's not.

What if you throw in Chandler, Fant, and Bonds? Would you still be having ulcers over instate recruiting?
