I hate the word artisan but I'll have to check this out. Thanks for sharing the pic of the bottle.

One thing that drives me crazy is that I just looked on Rivals and (1)4 four star players from the state of Tennessee are going to other big name schools. That's got to change!

Haha, why?

 

[Boca Vol]

Haha, why?

I guess it started a few years ago when it seemed like that was the much overused buzzword to inflate the value of products.

Just one of those things....

Lol. That's what I was waiting on.

 

[Boca Vol]

I guess I can add that to my growing resume of reasons why I'll never/ CAN'T run for public office.

 

[Boca Vol]

Florida now ranked ahead of us in the SEC for the 2019 class.

Not shocking at all. They had a better season and FSU/Miami are hot garbage now.

Those three ESPN 300 commits all from Lakeland pushed them over us for the moment.

UT Vols football: Jeremy Pruitt is recruiting Tennessee differently than Butch Jones. Will it work?

Interesting read


When it came to recruiting, former Tennessee football coach Butch Jones talked a lot about owning the state.

He was a man of his word, too, signing a combined 37 players from Tennessee during his five-year tenure.

In hindsight, however, he might have gotten a little carried away.

“I think a lot of times Tennessee (under Jones) would offer without having seen a kid face to face,” said Austin Price, who covers Tennessee football and recruiting for Rivals’ Volquest.com. “In today’s world of recruiting, so much of it is a copycat deal. ‘Oh, Virginia Tech offered, Georgia offered. Well, we’d better offer him.’ Or, ‘Hey, I hear so-and-so is about to offer, so we better get in before they do.’

“Jeremy Pruitt is not going about it that way.”

It’s not as though Pruitt, who recently completed his first year as the Vols coach, is completely abandoning the Volunteer state — he signed eight in-state prospects to last year’s class. He has, however, shown a bit more restraint than his predecessor.

Just yesterday someone posted an article showing UT has given out the most offers of any D1 school, 440. I don’t know what way Pruitt is going about it, but with that many offers it sure sounds like he’s just throwing them at top players to see what sticks.

 

[MWAVolfan]

Florida is the least of the problem. Isnt UT like the 6th ot 7th best recruiting class in the SEC?

 

[bag12day]

Lol. That's what I was waiting on.

D-bags to me also. It screams hipster and inflated value of worth... Do you think the folks I know that make lip smackin shine in Wilkes County NC call it artisan or "just the way granddaddy made it".

My way: Pulled Pork BBQ - Dry rubbed and slow smoked the ole fashioned way over Hickory wood. $10 Lb
Hipster Way: Artisan grown Free range heritage breed fed organic grains gently massaged with hand picked spices with organic raw sugar and Himalayan sea salt slowly spit roasted on a solar powered rotisserie over imported wood from sustainable rain forests. $82 lb

Has today taken a disappointing turn? It seems like we started strong and then just stalled. We seem to be dropping on rankings. As already mentioned Florida has jumped up 4 while we have fell one on 247. ESPN has dropped us down one to 16th in the nation as well. I know there is still plenty of time yet but when do I start panicking?

Wright, Crouch, Gray, Lampley, and S Williams will bump us back up . Patience.

 

[HooahVol]

If we can just get Wright I will consider this year a success.

Finishing 7th in the conference ain’t gonna get us to the SECCG anytime soon.

This staff is gonna have to show it can actually coach before all these high 4 and 5 stars come in. The Vandy game killed our chances with a lot of the elite recruits.
