'20 DC WR Rakim Jarrett (Maryland signee)

Time for Tee to start living up to his recruiting reputation.

lol.

So you're counting the first one as a whole?

I'm not going to give him credit for screwing us so he could stay at Bama to collect a 6 figure bonus instead of recruiting for Vols 24-7 down the stretch. He owns it.

 

[secking]

Simonton

His former coach is at Maryland, right? Has anyone from that team picked Maryland?

I didn't really like that he stayed there either. But lets be honest, that didn't make or break that class. There simply wasn't enough time to build relationships and put together a great class as a first time head coach. Now, if it had been Chip...

I corrected my post. The coach on staff at UMD came from DeMatha.

so the reason that class was sub par was because pruitt screwed us?

interesting memory.

There's nothing worse than a coach who is loyal to his team. Ridiculous. And I can't imagine an AD who would see any benefit in coach who values commitment. Far Fulmer!

And lol on the six figure bonus being relevant against the backdrop of a mid seven figure salary. That's coffee money.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Pruitt did the right thing, it didn't hurt us one bit. In the long run it helps. GBO!

Hillbilly is mad!

We all know that Tee did us no favors when he went to Cali. May have even influenced prospects away from us knowing that he would never sign them at USC. I don't know how he walks that back other than to go after people who he's never contacted before this year.

That's easy....

Recruit:. Just a year ago you were saying Tennessee sucked and no player should ever consider going there. Now you're saying it's the only place to be???

T:. Butch Jones

And Chip Kelly stayed with ESPN the same timeframe instead of attempting to salvage what HAD been a top 10 class...but that’s acceptable.

Chip Kelly has stunk it up on the recruiting trail at UCLA. Not sure how much better he’d have done in Knoxville.

Way better without that albatross of beaches and blondes.

Chip Kelly was never the answer for an SEC team.

I disagree. I thought if he had taken the Florida job, it would have answered one of UT's problems

Chip kelly had a hella staff underneath him as well

Yeah uhh it’s not because of the first time ever having an early signing period that had never been done before or anything.... or the fact that we waited until the end of the season to fire Butch Jones or anything.... I mean it’s all Pruitts fault for being a winning coach at a team in the National Championship....

 

[#Vol4Life1991]

Some of their (respected) posters say he is Tennessee bound....

5* wr rakim jarret taking OV to Tennessee this weekend

And Bellotti didn’t leave him destitute of talent. You can honestly claim that Chip Kelly has never built a program.

Tigerdroppings has zero respected posters.

 

[johnfnkelly]

The irony of LSU fans saying he won’t have a quarterback to throw to him at Tennessee.

that was my biggest concern about him. of course, that was going to be a concern about most of the guys we were looking at lol. but with CK it just felt weirder given the system and conf he was in, and how bad it turned out in the NFL. never thought it was a fit, for either party. i would have understood it had we thrown a brinks truck at him. but i'm glad we didn't.
