For those of you not in the recruiting forum

Yeah-the rub is you’re looking at 1+ years before most oline guys are ready to see the field. Same reason why Ollie is out there and not the guys we recruited.

Yeah, but they gotta start somewhere. Thats why you recruit it hard every year.

I agree-we probably need another good portal year to plug the gap next year though.

Yes, and we are steadily rebuilding. Also getting the NCAA mess behind us is huge.

Recruits love Dark Mode. They looked great tonight.

Special kudos to announcers Hart, Rogers and Kubelic who all sonded like UT alumni members.

Stadium was lit too. You don’t have to sell it. that kind of crowd sells coming here all by itself.

Along with seeing players drafted and making an impact at the next level.

Exactly. Regardless of how good our Oline haul is in this class, we have to hit the portal hard to fill gaps for next season. The last thing you want is for true freshmen to be playing along the OL and DL.

Trey Smiths are extremely rare.

All the recruits were loving the atmosphere. I had a field pass so I was around them and their families before and at the end of the game. It was my wife’s 42nd birthday and we got some great pics with a lot of VFLs
