USC winning again gave him an excellent option close to home. We are going to be just fine on the trail. The Big Orange train is rolling baby!

Tennessee coach Josh Heupel joined quarterbacks coach Joey Halzle in traveling to the West Coast on Tuesday to make multiple stops in California. One of their visits allowed them to see a Southern California commitment the Vols have been pursuing for months, and he's now planning to return the favor.

Heupel and Halzle went to Colony High School in Ontario, Calif., to meet with Class of 2023 defensive lineman Deijon Laffitte on Tuesday afternoon. Laffitte has continued to show interest in Tennessee over the past couple months despite his commitment to the Trojans, and he said he's scheduled to take an official visit to Knoxville the weekend of Dec. 16 to get a firsthand look at the Vols before Early Signing Day.

I mean, Garner is the GOAT, but not everyone he recruits turns out to be a dude. Remember when he didn't want Jay Hardy from the portal? Dude entered the portal last year and never found a home as far as I can tell.

Don't know that until they get to campus.

We just lost a RB to the portal many of us all expected to contribute early this year. He was a four star.

Ok?

Point is even Rodney doesn't bat a thousand. Just because he's recruiting this guy doesn't mean he's a dude. I hope he is.

No, the point is stop worrying about recruiting rankings for every player. The odds are that if Garner does want him then he is worth the offer.

Nobody hits on all. Good grief Garner gets his share and coaches up what he has got. He isn’t perfect but there aren’t many position coaches better if any on the D-Line. GBO

And… nobody denied that. I said I hope this kid is a dude.

More telling of HIS true ability and makeup in comparison to his high school ranking. I’ve posted before that Hardy’s recruitment soured Garner on chasing camp stars and to trust his own assessments more.

One part is the argument makes sense, no one gets them all right. Kids have to do their part also.

As for comparing these situations, it doesn’t support your concern over the ranking. Hardy was a high 4 star that didn’t work out.
