I call BS. He claimed UT "always had good food services."

Sounds all very whiny and weak, to me.

I have to agree. If the kid was pumped by the food then either they ate at gibbs or the kid would eat a dead horse and be happy. The food is the worst thing to try and sell a kid on.

You're the man, Grind.

I will test the amp meter of each song and report back, accordingly.

If it can get a pudgy (bordering on plain fat) mid-30's suburbanite amped up......I am sure that it would work wonders for a group of athletically gifted 16 - 24 year olds.

I'd say about 95% of the kids loved the music. This guy would've had us playing the best of the 80s soundtrack.

I love it.

The father who wrote the blog was upset because of the lack of attention at UTs camp for the nonrecruited players. He felt that it was a recruiting camp and not a camp to make the other players better.

Zach was obviously a recruited player so he might have had a lot more time and attention.

As a person who has worked many camps at UT (both in house and out of house camps) as well as camps at over 30 other universities, I can say that the registration process is most often a reflection of the school's housing/dining services rather than the athletic department. No matter how organized you are, one mistake by these services (and believe me they occur almost every time) and all your preparedness goes straight out the window.

Also, with some of these camps, there are a lot of kids who show up and register on site which will slow things down considerably.

It's one opionion. Who really cares, you're always gonna have someone speak out negatively. Doesn't bother me because everyone else had great things to say. One naysayer out of 100 isn't bad odds people.

I am glad your son got to come to camp. I know when I was 16 if I had went to camp in Knoxville that I would have been largely ignored due to my lack of talent. I would understand that the real d-1 prospects would be getting all the attention. I am sure this young man understood his place in the food chain and had a blast regardless of his parents assesment of the camp. Let me see if I understood your ramblings: Your son just may be good enough to walk on at Cincinatti, He is spoiled and got to go to two camps back to back with you in tow, you are probably Catholic and I can understand your biased, apparently you like hospital food, and you think you speak for your son but I bet you don't. Charlie Weiss is obligated to photograph with his campers because he sucks as a college head coach. kiffin was on time for the guys who could play. You are obviously a family of privilge. have your son hit the books and play in the Ivy League where they will not swear and always be on time and oh yea rich and caucasian.

Umm dude.... I don't think the guy that wrote that blog is on this site. Or at least if he is I haven't seen him pop in to say anything about it. Rex is a recruiting mod and was just linking the article because it pertained to the camps we had and was another view point. I like your passion though. :good!:

I know I just can't let somebody say such things and not reply. I will try to control myself in the future.:furious3:

I don't post much on this site because I usually don't have much "new" information to offer. But I was at the 1 day lineman camp on June 1st with my brother. These are very much reruiting camps. That's why most of these guys are invited by coches. I have been to several of these camps with "lil bro" over the past year and UTs camp this year was the best by far. The instruction from coaches was amazing. Coach Kiffin wasn't taking pictures with campers because they had those kids working hard every second. My brother was in the "A" group, but all of the kids had coaches teaching them at all times. I talked to my brother and his teammates that went with us and they all felt that they were better football players when they left. They have even talked to their HS coach and they run from drill to drill in practice now. There is absolutely no lack of energy or coaching at Tennessee.

Thanks for the info and post more often vol_fan21. In case you hadn't noticed it's mostly just guys (and girls, can't forget the residential ladies) spouting off opinions around here. There might be a few educated guesses, and a few posters use logic.... but it's gut feelings, witty (and sometimes witless) comebacks, or uninformed speculation making up the lion's share of posts. :)

Cool - I'm glad it was a recruiting camp. I would be pissed if it wasn't run that way.

That's exatly what I thought! It seems like it woud be a waste of the coaches time to have a bunch of guys there that don't have the ability to play on Saturday

At first I didn't even want to come to Tennessee's camp. I have to thank my dad for that. [...] Iowa was one of my top choices but they hadn't offered and my dad said we were going to go to Tennessee's camp. When I got here it was amazing.
