Very positive article on ESPN.

New Tennessee Volunteers coach Derek Dooley has work to do on the recruiting trail - ESPN

My hunch is that he'll be really strong in Georgia and Virginia.

FROM THE FATHER OF MARKEIT: Keith Ambles, the father of four-star wide receiver Markeith Ambles (McDonough, Ga./Henry County) wants to know more.

"I just heard that Dooley was going to get the job," he said. "I don't know much about him other than his dad coached at Georgia. We are going to sit down and talk to Tennessee and see what type of offense they are going to run. We'll make our decision from there. We'll probably be visiting schools the last three weeks."
:rock:

Good read!! His stats from last year (with conference relativeness considered) were about the same as the Vols!!
Hopefully, we retain Chaney and run a similar offense to what was bringing the recruits in!!

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Fair enough. If it was my kid, I would feel the same way.

Going to be an even more insane three weeks...I hope he can do some magic...I am worried though...it's going to be a tough task.

 

[WestEndVol]

Good article. I really like the hire. Hopefully we can get back some of these recruits and salvage this class.

 

[peewee]

Great read.. GReat post... I think we can save them if he feels we can use them... GO VOLS!!!

Please God! If we can keep Ambles and J Smith, I will be very happy.

should be strong in louisianna as well. which is a good thing because a lot of talent comes out of there.

In the presser, he also said he recruited a lot in Texas while at LSU and made contacts while in Florida. He should be able to recruit. Cali could be the weak point but maybe he will hire an assistant with ties there.
