Same situation as Loften. Evaluated and recruited by Kiffin, but kept by Dooley due to limited options and critical need. We had plenty of ships to give and holes to fill, but no time to recruit replacements. At least there was an outside chance of them getting in, which was better than leaving the slots vacant.

Ok...was really bummed out when that fell thru.

I know what you guys mean and I agree, Dooley definitely wants Loften. The question is, should the fact he didn't get in last year, be held as an example of mis-evaluation by Dooley (considering his philosophy of "low risk - high reward"). My point was, no it shouldn't because Dooley did not originally evaluate and select him for recruitment. When Dooley got here in the eleventh hour, he was left with limited options, and just wanted to retain as much of the fruit of the previous staffs labor as possible. Had he been here a year earlier, and evaluated Loften from the start, he may not have persued him at all, due to his academics. So Dooley's track record for signing qualifiers is unblemished IMO.

Exactly great post :thumbsup:

Jay, I think Dunlap is just pointing out that Dooley didn't originally target Lofton for recruitment, in reference to an earlier post that he was Dooley's only "strike out", as all his recruits have made it in.

Obviously he targeted Loften or he wouldn't have signed him in either class. That statement is a total stretch and the facts we have to go on show it is completely incorrect.

Really? Dooley started the recruitment of Loften to UT? He evaluated and spent 2009 recruiting him to UT while being HC at LaTech? Wow! I did not know that and will ashamedly admit I was wrong. Dooley is even more impressive than I thought. :good!:

This Dude! Gets on my nerve we need to cut ties with THIS GUY! We know he has talent, but he should have went to Prep School and got his but in a year later! For real

Hopefully he still makes it in. Once he gets conditioned and back in football shape he will be a beast for us. No way Dooley would have kept him if he didnt feel that way. Just hoping he makes it this go around. This is probably his last chance without going to a JUCO or Prep.

Anybody get the eery feeling that we're going to be talking about Loften year after year? Forever? :eek:

Seriously, though, I hope he can work things out. Much longer, and he may end up just riding the pine once he's in.

he's the new Gerald Williams. I swear that guy was in our recruiting class 4 straight years.

We need to just let this kid go. It is not hard to make it into school, he had plenty of time to qualify, but he did not. See ya!

I'll never hate on this guy for trying so hard to get into UT, but there comes a point where you gotta be realistic. If he hasn't gotten in by now, he may never. He would need to be an elite talent to even see the field with the DBs we recruited. I'll keep rooting for him, but it appears unlikely he will play for UT.

Now Loften is saying that he will enroll next month. :banghead2:

Good god kid give it up & just go to JUCO or a small D-1AA school.

Have to love his commitment to the team and the University, but maybe he needs to look at other alternatives, if he tried the Prep School route last season, he's probably here, hope the best for him, truly do.

Put the pipe down...

Look at it this way. If Loften actually makes it in, who do we gray shirt in his place? I'm not digging really gray shirting any of the other guys. Maybe Orta if he's hurt, but I'm rather comfortable with not getting Thomas or Loften.

its not even the fact that he hasnt gotten in again this time, its that he continues to take the same path in not going to prep school or Juco.

GDub was different because at least he explored different avenues in attempt to get enrolled. this dude is just sitting home thinking he's going to get in by retaking standardized tests over and over and over.

Loften needs someone to tell him the definition of insanity.
