Cornbread's final recruiting class

[WilcoVolsFan]

9 out of the 10 highest ranked commits in the 2021 class have left or leaving the program.


Just adds to the absolutely incredible job CJH and his staff have done in extinguishing the dumpster fire and getting the program back on track.

Heupel doing more with less since January 2021!!

Proving it’s a team game

 

[IndianaVol]

Rucker seems to have signed onto Coach Heupel and Company's philosophy at least.
Recall him making a couple of good tackles in the Bama game.

Rest of that list seem like either 'me first' guys or locker room cancers...

 

[VolBricks]

Wow that is a lot.
Makes you wonder how many did Huepel tell they would not see the field and they left? Or which one's could not take the discipline/standards this coaching staff have put in place. I know there are other reasons to leave but I just wonder how many left on their own and how many were "suggested" that they might want to look elsewhere.

Well in all fairness to Pruitt, he recruited kids that (supposedly) fit in his system.

Not looking like they fit in Huepel's.

Best of luck to all these young men. They wanted to be Volunteers, but it just wasn't in the cards.

April 2020 was when I thought we were going to have an all time great class.

Too bad his system SUCKED!

Only like 1 of them made an impact, and he left before pretty much anyone else (Tiyon). Merrill was fine and Rucker hasn't made much on an impact yet. No one else even really played.

Yup.





If you look at where a lot of them have ended up though. Of the 10 highest ranked decommits, 5 are at or heading to a second school

Terrence Lewis to Maryland, transferred to UCF, currently back in the portal
Dylan Brooks to Auburn, played in just 7 games in two seasons
Damarius McGhee to LSU, in the portal currently
KaTron Evans to Jacksonville State
Hudson Wolfe to Ole Miss, hasn't played in two seasons due to injury
Cody Brown to Miami, transferred to UVA
Jordan Mosley to Northwestern, transferred to MS State
Tiyon Evans recommitted to Tennessee, then transferred to Louisville

Actually most of them simply weren’t very talented!

Good ole Cornbeard....he needs to be out there digging a ditch somewhere today.

Where is he at these days?

 

[OldLofter]

Heupel doing more with less since January 2021!!

Heup is showing that his style as a coach is, to a large degree, as a CEO. Yes, he does have hands-on in some areas. However, he does seem to run the team as a business. And that’s good.

 

[Volprofch05]

Good ole Cornbeard....he needs to be out there digging a ditch somewhere today.

Where is he at these days?

Mostly poker tournaments and some guest analysis on podcasts as far as I’ve seen (no blue font)

 

[GrizzlyVol]

Everyone needs to stop insulting cornbread like this I love cornbread but have a high disdain for Pruitt

 

[marcusluvsvols]

Good ole Cornbeard....he needs to be out there digging a ditch somewhere today.

Where is he at these days?

Spending the millions we paid him to wreck this program. We paid him what, 6 million over 2 years? With no state income tax? He is rich regardless of whether he ever sees another dime from coaching. Bastard Gump

 

[Special Ed]

Word is he may be headed back to Bama as an assistant (emphasis on ass).

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Too bad his system SUCKED!

Often a team buys into the character of the coaching staff. I see quite a difference when I look at Heupel and Pruitt. Which coach would you want to coach your child?

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

And Heup STILL won 11 games in year 2

 

[Vol737]

Too bad his system SUCKED!

Not even sure he had a system if his Chik-fil-A bag operation was any indication.

The one that speaks English.

 

[CAVPUT]

Yup.

Hard to imagine being that wrong on a single recruiting class. I know the metric is to hit on 50% of your class and it's a job well done, but man, that's really a poor class.

Is this the system where we didn’t make any attempt to score points?
