That's laughable. Bama, Southern Cal, Florida, and sadly LSU, have the best recruiting staffs in the nation. Year in and year out they bring in elite classes, UT will have to do a lot more before being able to make that claim.

You are laughable. Those staffs are getting great players because they've had success lately and there are loads of studs in their backyards. UT doesn't have that, but will still go down to the wire with these schools for a lot of players.

It's so "laughable" that they took 2 4-star recruits from the National Champions on signing day after a 5-7 season.

I know, but I'm not under the allusion the because we hung 62 on Charleston Southern we'll catch the eye of more recruits. :no:

Under an allusion? Were you alluding to an illusion? Or were you just so proud of being on a rival's board and the clear statement that makes about you that you forgot how great that UF education is?

As a staff, UT's had only been there for 3 months and pulled a top 10. I believe I'll give them this full year and see. If they do it again, you may have to rethink your statement.

I don't think I will, because a top 10 recruiting class doesn't translate into being able to recruit on the same level as a USC, UF, Bama, or LSU.

Let's try to break it down a little slower for you Corky.

UT went 5-7 last year. Why would ANY highly ranked kid that didn't grow up in Tennessee as a huge Vols fan want to come to this trainwreck?

Add to that, a staff that was together less than 3 months.

What do they do?

How about go out and sign the #1 player in the nation in Bryce Brown, who had shown no interest in UT prior to the new regime.

How about stealing Marsalis Teague and Nu'Keese from UF, and Janzen Jackson from LSU?

How about ending up with a top 10 class in this abbreviated time period?

How about finishing ahead of the mighty Gators?

I hope this helps. If not, I'll switch to Crayola font.

Not to mention UT has 7 former recruiting coordinators and Coach Gran, whom is considered one of the best recruiters of South Florida in the nation. Tennessee could win 5 games again this season and still be in on recruits anyone in the nation wants.

No those are NOT the best recruiting staffs in the nation. They recruit everything from their back yard, you've got to understand this. UF, USC, and LSU are spoon fed their recruits. Saban is the only one who really travels out of state to get talent. UTs staff is ridiculous. Top to bottom, there is not a better recruiting staff in the nation than in Knoxville...

Lol we only signed 16 recruits last season and had the highest average star ranking of all teams, that is if you use Rivals. I tend to like ESPN because they are the only system that uses actual coaches and former players to evaluate talent. On ESPN you didn't finish ahead of us.

BTW, LSU finished 7-5 and landed the top ranked class. Just because you have a bad year doesn't mean your program will crash and burn.

Sorry man, UT doesn't recruit as well as UF. Hence the reason you take our leftovers or players we don't want. Markeith Ambles for example, and possibly Victor Hampton.

BTW, I'm not a troll. I just like discussing recruiting and GC sucks.

UF has major competition in both FSU and UM, so recruiting isn't as easy as you're making it seem.

For years USC was mediocre before Carroll came in and turned the program around. He himself has brought those recruits to Southern Cal.

LSU wasn't much of anything neither before Saban.

Bama was mediocre for years before Saban came in and turned things around.

For all the above teams recruiting became easier after success. We're going to have to agree to disagree.

lol yea I guess. You think teams that are spoon fed talent are good recruiters, and I don't. Fair enough...

My thing is, none of the above mentioned teams brought in elite talent until they brought in elite coaching staffs.

USC? No.

Florida? Zook was a good recruiter but he wasn't consistent and didn't recruit for depth.

Bama? Please...

LSU? Didn't bring in top talent until the Saban era.

Recruiting became easy for the above teams after success, not before it.

I also like the idea that the of the top 4 he listed, we stole guys from 3 of them in just three months. But evidently our staff can't hang with any of them.

You're an enormous troll. You aren't discussing anything. You're here to pump Florida and dismiss anything positive UT has done as something that happened because Urban willed it so. And yes, those Florida sites do suck. Guess what will happen to this site if more people like yourself migrate over here?

Because I said you don't get Powell?

BTW, I don't post at GC.

Good job, you stole some recruits.

And you felt you were in position to speak about my reading comprehension? I didn't say you couldn't hang, I said you weren't better than the 4 listed.

Once again, your inability to read makes you look like an idiot.

You posting period makes you look like an idiot. Powell and Luc were the only players I said UT wont bet getting, so what else possibly could you be talking about?

Hey, nice allusion to the other thread. Get the dictionary out. I'll bet Pete Carroll would be willing to fire some of his superstar staff to have Ed Orgeron and Lane Kiffin back in the fold.

I outlined it pretty clearly. Go find a five year old and have him explain it to you.

No specifics there buddy. Good job. :good!:

Anyways, I'll be ignoring you from now on. I'm here to discuss recruiting, not argue with people for no reason.

You've got 20 some posts. If you need me to be specific to narrow down something that small, you need to go ahead and commit suicide. You are the stupidest man over 40 on the planet.
