Yep. I was wrong. He’s outrecruiting Pruitt so far. Had a better starting point, but flipping Jones and landing Copeland over us is a big get and he’s going to close strong.

We’re hoping for Quay and ITS but neither are guaranteed and now we’re going to miss Beal also. Unreal

We’re only on Copeland’s radar because of Pruitt. Also Copeland was committed to the gators not long ago. It was always going to be an upset if we got him

Nobody is denying any of this. All I said was that I was wrong about saying Mullen can’t recruit and that he’s doing a good job. We don’t know how we’re going to finish until tomorrow.

Everyone is way too sensitive on this site

Says the one that flips out when something doesn’t go our way

I will say that it appears we may miss on some of our targets left. But at least we’re going after the big fish. Hard to hit a homerun standing at the plate with the bat on your shoulder.

I’m just pointing out the context. Mullen landing Copeland isn’t really an impressive recruiting win IMO.

No, you said more in one of your many freak-outs.

VN when Pruitt was hired: “Pruitt is a great recruiter! Time to get all those 5*s!

VN now: “I’m starting question his recruiting. Mullen & Muschamp is out recruiting him!

He’s not even been UT’s HC for a full season.

Not to say "I told you so", but I said in the Mullen's thread during the coaching search that put him at a school like UF or UT, where he would have better facilities, a better recruiting budget, better traditions than MSU, that he could be a helluva recruiter because he is a QB whisperer, and if you can secure elite QBs it attracts other elite offensive players.

Now it remains to be seen how he does on the defensive side with recruiting, but Grantham certainly has a good reputation.

And ftr, I am completely satisfied with Pruitt to this point, but I knew that Mullen at UF could be a problem in the East.

I have a theory here: Normally when we have a big recruiting weekend like we have had the last few, we normally hear about a kid or two committing. We haven’t so far yet. I’m thinking this is a carefully orchestrated plan by Pruitt. On Wednesday we sign them all, ITS, Griffin, Quay, Copeland, Young, Beal, Mincey, Otito. It’s all over Espn on when these guys commit to us and we are the stars of national signing day. Then all these great 2019 kids see and say wow Tennessee is awesome. They have hot girls, great BBQ and that shade of orange looks so cool, and then we sign a number one class in 2019.

the gloom is coming from VQs repeated warnings that we aren't going to close the way we thought we would a few weeks ago.

Ya I know it. Is it me or have those guys been sucking lately. I think Pruitt keeps it close to the vest. I think we will have a solid signing day, but I’m also a sunshine pumper.

If you read the VQ report then we’re missing on Copeland and Beal.

Hopefully we keep JJ and add Quay and that would be a good close. Hopefully ITS comes too.

The people that wrote the VQ report have probably also said that Copeland and Beal are hard to get a read on. Same with a lot of the good prospects we are after right now. They may be educated guesses but they are Steele just guesses. Now maybe they do sign elsewhere but you stated that they won't come here like it was a fact. I just don't think we're out of it yet. And I'm not trying to start another epic optimist vs pessimist brawl either. Just offering an opposing opinion. hahahaha :peace2:

They've also admitted that many of these big recruits are hard to get a read on. Maybe they are hedging bets a little because they don't really know. :dunno:
