I mean, we took a LB coach from Michigan, DC and DB coach is from Penn State, Martinez has coached everywhere. It isn't like he brought dudes from Austin Peay to coach here.
I asked Brent about our defensive recruiting struggles. This doesn't make me feel better:I agree overall defensive recruiting has to improve but will this guy be that much of a help…. I would rather wait till the spring and add a couple of transfers instead of a guy just taking up a roster spot.
-HubbsI don't think it's the style of offense. I think the defense has at some positions sort of struggled to get their position recruiting board in order and I don't know why. There didn't seem to be much of a board in the summer. And this fall it seemed to change a lot.
I felt the whole year that we were scrambling a little bit…. The staff got hired really late and with all the COVID restrictions…. It was a challenging year….. Hopefully hiring Billy High gets things going in the right direction.I asked Brent about our defensive recruiting struggles. This doesn't make me feel better:

@peaygolf reading this.I mean, we took a LB coach from Michigan, DC and DB coach is from Penn State, Martinez has coached everywhere. It isn't like he brought dudes from Austin Peay to coach here.
I'd have to ask what your definition of good is but from prior posts, I'm not sure this staff can meet your criteria. Have you not seen what this staff has accomplished with players from ESD to now. Also throw the addition of High to management/recruiting, which is a bigger than some seem to realize.Thank you for the reassurance that something good will happen when nothing good has happened.![]()
No board from the summer?I asked Brent about our defensive recruiting struggles. This doesn't make me feel better:

I mean it wasn't that hard this past summer. We're playing our long snapper in the two deep at linebacker. Our secondary all runs around a 4.7 or worse. I wonder what positions need attention.No board from the summer?
That’s AWFUL. Did someone a personnel guy get fired or replaced ? How is there such confusion and re-ordering?
And this coming from the Vols Rival site is pretty damning.
that’s unforgivable
