Matthews imo outside Nico and Carter was Vols best win against the big boys. Bates would be an awesome situation showing the same trend

I feel the staff has put together a small, but talented db class. Farooq is a beast.

Give credit to Martinez for pulling in these DBs.

Recruiting isn’t his issue. It’s his ability to develop.

I didn't think LSU pushed for Matthews, last year. Am I misremembering that?

Number 1 corner in the state they wanted him but never had a lot of traction with the coaching change was mainly a UT Vs Texas battle but lsu was still actively recruiting him.

Reports I got was LSU took him for granted

They were all great, just in that moment the matthews commitment felt huge, was nothing in comparison with the season we ended up having. Excited to see him on the field, if not this year means slaughter or hadden playing well which is fine by me

Whoever Bob Vols is I’ll go with him, Cai to Knoxville!

Recruiting isn't the issue.. His ability to develop it.. if it wasn't he would've gotten a raise and extension like the other Coach's. This is clearly an improve with development or get replaced type season.

Who can blame them tbh. I feel like they are one of the main schools that, historically, could ignore a kid all cycle and then offer him last minute and he'd still commit to them.

Definitely.. they have notoriously done that with local kids because they knew they could pull them later if needed.

Agreed but you also have to think dbs have it harder than anyone else in this Tennessee system. It’s been subpar but haven’t been terrible, putting clamps on receivers would put this defense over the edge imo

Extremely credible

I knew it came down to Tennessee and Texas and we kind of came in the back door to steal him, late. Just didn't remember LSU being heavily involved. Coaching change makes some sense as to why they weren't greatly considered.
