Did we lose recruits?

[gainesvol82]

Has anybody heard anything negative from the football recruits that attended the UT-UF game? I'm sure that they all got a horrible impression of UT football. I also see that we picked up no commitments and that tells me a lot. Any news would be appreciated.

Some people have said Nunes might look around.

 

[lujacha]

ouch

 

[champyvol]

our recruiting class is gone. out of the top 25.

If it were me and I was a commit, I would take it as a challenge to come in here and help turn things around. If you want a blind homer fanbase, then right now UT might not be the place for you.

Man i'd wanna go somewhere where my team could compete for championships. TN right now isn't where I'm looking

 

[k-sny-vol]

if Nunes Leaves us were F'n Screwed ! omg

 

[TrueOrange]

i think the haltime mass exodus of fans hurt us the most recruiting wise

 

[I40VOL]

put a product on the field that deserves the attention then 30,000 people won't leave

Really? Have you seen any sources saying that or have you just heard from people upset about the loss saying that he should be looking somewhere else? Just wondering

Also...

....What fanbase were you watching? It looked like over 1/2 of the 100,000 fans left at halftime; i think that's kinda, you know, like the opposite of homer

true, and i can understand that. But to the recruits it looks bad b/c in their view they have to question what's going to stop these fans from deserting me if I have a really bad game?

again: played poor, i know. But still looks bad to players

From all the info i've read on rivals we're still sittin' pretty good. Stokes, Giles, Wiliiams are still commited and we are now Oku's Favorite it seems. We also impressed Devonte Holloman (clemson commit) who is one of the top safetys. Seems everyone thought we just had a bad game. But the mass exodus by the fans did not help. Hopefully Nunes will stick.

If I were Nunes and I saw Crompton play than I would look around too. I would have to think there wasn't much coaching going on and not much chance of getting to the NFL.

That is lame, maybe if the team looked interested in playing that wouldn't have been a problem.

If I were Nunes and saw Crompton playing that poorly I would be even more excited to come to UT and see immediate playing time. Most recruits look for immediate playing time and a college's abiltiy to put them in the NFL. Right now we offer both.

Most kids wanna play for pre existing winners that are bowl bound and frequent national championship contenders. Very few nowadays say to themselves...I wanna be that ingredient in the recipe that makes a team a winner. I agree though, we need those type players, after just watching the 89 Auburn game we used to have that type.

To me, that was the icing on the cake on Saturday. I kept wondering how those recruits were thinking.

Exactly, if he went to a Florida, he might see playing time his junior year. With our QB's, he might start the first game of his freshman year.lol:

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

:Exactly my point :yes:

 

[Cartervol]

Although losing never helps. It doesn't affect recruiting as negatively as you might think. Kids don't hang their hats on wins and losses. But if the downward trend continues some will look elsewhere.
