Dooley pulled a top 10 class with only 3 weeks remaining in Jan. 2010, CBJ has no excuses.

It will be interesting to see I predict a top 25 somewhere around 19 th but only 8th in the conference. I want complain, because I will be bashed as a star gazer.

Recruiting is a dirty cutthroat business, we don't need to aid and abet the enemies of Tennessee by making disparaging remarks and being negative.

I thought that was the primary reason we have discussion forums. Weren't all the people not slitting their wrists and daring to have a positive outlook lumped into one subgroup, given an epithet designation, and asked to leave en masse?

Besides, if these kids didn't want to have armchair coaches sitting behind computer screens trashing their every decision then they shouldn't have played football to begin with. They brought this on themselves.

How did that class turn out, by the way?

I think we need to get rid of pre-college rankings and rank the classes after the season. I know, where's the fun in that? How are we supposed to get an e-boner when That Kid from Someplace, USA, commits to our team over another? You'd think we were Roman patrons, choosing gladiators meant to sacrifice themselves for our entertainment.

Let the season play out. Even great coaches have dud players, 5* beasts that play out into 1* leasts. Rank the classes post-season, after the kids have had a year to contribute, and I think many of the class rankings will be nowhere near where the media told us they'd be.

Bradley did not have any visits left and was an EE, Croom former team mate, family in atlanta, still a good chance we get him. Trade Bradley for Toby Johnson. Some of the players off the board were not highly rated. We needed Reeve Koehler Bad. Is he still considering Vols or following Pittman?

Last I read, Hubbs said he didn't know why he was taken off list. He still feels we have a good chance to land him.

Was Ben recruited to play the 3-4? He looks like a prototypical nose tackle.

Him and Big Mac would make perfect DT's in a 4/3. I never did like the concept of a 3/4 where your biggest, baddest guy on the DL is just told to hold his space. I'd rather have two big guys wrecking the center of the opponents OL, and collapsing the pocket up the middle. It makes the DE's job 10 times easier.
