'17 TN OL/DT Trey Smith (UT commit 12/6/2016)

Instate recruiting has been pathetic this year. Quit trying to spin it.
I think we kinda screwed up letting Tee Higgins get out, but Rodgers and Stephens were never coming here. Other than them I think we cleaned up the no brainers in-state, those being Gray, Chandler, and Smith. I think Theo Jackson is the closest to being a no brainier out of the rest in state off the top of my head (IMO). Bumphus has the frame and potential, Cimaglia was a guy that had interest from a lot of schools. I'm going to recheck and I'll update my post on further thoughts, but I think we did pretty well.

EDIT: Richardson was never going here either but he's another no brainier to me. Eze is a guy that I think we wanted and lost to Memphis which does suck. Reitmaier, if we can't flip him, would also suck to lose. Not too worried about guys like Hayden or Phillips

Depending on the recruiting service you look at we have missed out on at least 6 of the top 10 players in the state so far. Even if we get Smith, still batting less than. 500 in your back yard.

How many of those 10 did the REALLY go after very hard? That lessens the percentage missed quite a bit.
 
I really hope I am not as annoying as people like you...If I have been..I apologize to the board. I don't like being down.


The biggest difference between you and him is you have a track record of actually rooting for the Vols on here. You've been too negative lately (predicting going 2-9 next year) but I know when the ball kicks off, you're pulling for CBJ and the Vols.

I did not predict 3-9. If I implied that I'm sorry. I did say IF Butch loses the team..we COULD have a disastrous year like UFs 4-8 season and AUs 3-9 season.
 
Its a done deal per the coach i spoke with. Trey to UT and he even told a few players who train with us that he's coming to UT.

Wonder what our signing class ranking will jump up to after his commitment? Got to be close to the top 10. We're 14th right now. Maybe 11th but could be top 10. :dance2:
