Hey mo. There is nothing racist about recognition of a "benign" characteristic as Colin Powell put it. You can close your eyes all you want but black kids make up a very dispropotionate percentage of BCS and in particular SEC rosters. I could care less. I'm just as happy for them as I would be a kid from any other race. I do NOT resent the success of other people who play by the rules and especially not based on something as superficial as skin color.

I treat people and accept people as individuals only. Individuals have strengths and abilities that are unique to them. However some characteristic strengths and weaknesses happen to largely coincide with benign characteristics of race.

I do not have racist feelings or impulses... which is one of the reasons I can say someone is "black" and recognize a high level of accomplishment amongst "black" people in a particular sphere of endeavor... ie, college football... without demeaning or intending to demean anyone.

The sooner we don't have people who react like you... the sooner we'll have real peace between races in America.

yeah , citing statistical demographics is taboo. He should have just said how many white people there were and let us guess on the number of minorities and their racial breakdown These dang racists and their population fact slurrs !! You do know there is a direct relation to race demographics and recruiting don't you ?

Genetics baby. Very few have the physical ability to be a d1 athlete. And it's clear that a higher proportion of African Americans have those genetic characteristcs. How on earth is it derogatory to say a race tends to have a high proportion of good genetic traits?

I don't think it is racist at all ...a compliment really . And to even say that on top of great genetics ...many of these kids work their tails off to get to the next level is outstanding.

Too many people seem to have mastered the art of reading somehow with their brain off....

Agree, doesn't matter how great the genes are, it's still a hell of a lot of work.

Enough to sustane several programs. We will not recruit exclusively local. We will pick out guys that are worth going out for.

Lane made the same comment when he first came in. Then the staff watched film on TN talent, and then realized we needed to recruit nationally.

2011 maybe different, but if we are cherry picking talent within a 5-6 hour radius, that means we take NC, SC, GA, KY, VA, AL, OH, WV, MS talent. Not bad

He probably really wants to lock down the southern states (Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, the Carolinas) and try to reach out to a couple players nationally.

I hope this coaching staff will be able to recruit some studs though. I want (as everyone does) to see some great DT's and LB's to come in this next class.

I think we will have a more regional focus but will continue to recruit nationally. I don't know that Dooley realizes yet the recruiting budget he will have to work with. UT blows a lot of programs out of the water as far as the amount of dollars it throws at recruiting. Below is a three year average of what UT spent in football recruiting alone 05/06 season to 07/08 season. UT will always be a national recruiter because we have to be; next year might be more of an exception because of the instate talent.

3-YEAR AVERAGE
Tennessee: $1,154,802
Auburn: $705,125
LSU: $662,772
Florida: $599,818
Georgia: $521,174
Arkansas: $499,578
Ole Miss: $410,608
Kentucky: $307,571
Miss. State: $286,467
Alabama: $285,649
S. Carolina: $273,909

If CDD wants to recruit within 4 hours of Knoxville, how many 4 and 5 star recruits does that give us to choose from? We may need to map this out to see which ones staff is going after hard....

I don't think CDD will give up on Florida. While I am not a recruiting nutnik, Coach Hinshaw being from Punta Gorda (Southwest Florida) might help a little. It would be great to be able to recruit from Ft. Myers to Sarasota and Coach Hinshaw might be able to give the Vols a little presence there. I can tell you that Coach Hinshaw is well-respected down there even though he is certainly not a big-time name on a national scale.
