Does this hurt recruitment?

I guess I would like to know the overall feel of this thread is now that we had three offensive players taken early in the third round and a DE taken just a couple of picks later?

Nah. Noone expected Hooker to be drafted 2 years ago. Darnell Wright wasn't looking like a first round pick before Huepel. Tillman was not highly recruited. Hyatt was a 4 star but come out of nowhere at Tennessee. Byron Young was a three star.

It seems like to me that this staff develops players.

Anthony Richardson was drafted #4. Pro teams draft on potential rather than production.

I mean, if we think other coaches aren't going to use this to negatively recruit against us, you would probably be wrong. It doesn't help, but hopefully Hendon not being 100% healthy gives Coach JH an excuse. I personally think that has more to do with it than scheme like these guys on TV are mentioning. Jmo

No! Hooker, Hyatt, and Tillman were not on anyone draft boards last year or radar. Tillman was a 2* and Hyatt was a 3* I believe. Hooker would have went higher if not had been for his injury. How many players did Pruitt have drafted his last 2 years at UT? Pruitt is considered a great DC and developer of talent, but yet how many was drafted his last 2 years?

Right?!?! Saban must’ve been in someone’s ear… In all seriousness, that kid took shot after shot against us and got back up every time, he’s tough, size be damned.

He played good against Tennessee. But Hooker played better.

Won’t hurt at all. Offensive players love to play in a system that showcases their talents. Hooker and Tillman had injuries that caused them to drop. As good as Hyatt was, he still has some things that need improvement.

He only had 1 good year of tape.

If having the best offense in college football were easy to replicate, everyone would be doing it. That’s why the “system” argument is ridiculous.

This helps recruiting 5 players in the first 3 rounds. This team was a dumpster fire two years ago. As Vol fans we have witnessed a football miracle. We have coaches that can develop players ask Jeremy Pruitt. Heupel put his players in the league. Blue chips recruits have already noticed.

It's a narrative. It's up to the players to prove it wrong. 2 were also injured which hurt their stock

The league could honestly stand to lose 8 teams and it would automatically improve the product by leaps and bounds. Mainly because the talent wouldn't be stretched so thin between teams.

What about taking over the XFL and USFL and adding relegation and promotion like soccer?

Hyatt and Tillman having early success will help.
