Boys...
We're raising the white flag on this one. Did everything we could here believe me. Nothing short of a Hail Mary or the kid getting cold feet for some strange reason we are "backing off" as he has made his decision and it doesn't include us as of now.

I'm as disappointed as anyone on this one. Thought we could get it wrapped up.

I will however say some interesting things are gonna happen on NSD again for us. CBJ truly is a relentless recruiter and we may wind up with a top 5 class again when it's all said and done. I truly believe that.

GBO!

Please don't mind me asking, but did she go to the children's hospital at Vandy? They do great with kids. Don't know the story but I'm glad it is a positive outcome.

Honestly, I'm not sure how we end up with a top 5 but certainly would not complain. Realistically with what we have now and are in on, a top 10 finish would be terrific!

Either way it should be an exciting finish.

GO VOLS!!!

I want to believe this, but I think there is just too much ground to make up to get in the top 5.

Anything is possible just depends on how the cookies crumble when it comes NSD. We trade a few of these 3 stars for 4 and land 2 more 5 stars we will in the hunt.

I will also say I will be very happy with a top 10 class as well but we certainly have the shot to get up there if a few things fall into place.

I did the calculator on 247, and we would have to land a lot of big talent to get in top 5. I put Akers in there, Gibbs, even flipped Higgins and I'm still not sure its top 5. Would love to know some names Atlanta Vol is hearing

I respect that Atlanta Vol won't name the recruits but who is the other 5* we're in on other than Akers since we're out of the race for Gibbs? (Speculation)

OK I will add him to the list of Brings the Good. Hope he didn't take it as trying to argue, just talking.

I didn't take it that way at all. Hell I remember when I first started posting people were convinced I was a Dawg fan in disguise because I had intel that wasn't good news for the Vols...

I added Akers, Higgins, Gibbs, Ray, Harris, Moore, Sterling, Butler, Nixon and McBride and took away a few of our guys and it would have had us in the top 5 last year and currently 3rd this year at this moment. But that is with us taking 32 players. I don't know how many we can take this year, but even with a couple blue shirts I don't know how we could get all of these guys in here. And Higgins isn't flipping unless someone has some news on that front which I doubt unless Turtles shows up again. But hopefully Butch can get it done and get us a top 10 class with guys like Akers and Ray. I'd be happy with that

To be fair, we are really stupid and prone to mob mentality.

If we do end up with a top 10 class, I think its likely #10 or 9. I dont tuink we get higher than that. I really expected more of the 3* guys we have committed would get bumps. That didnt happen. I guess it still COULD still happen but at this point I am not expecting it. As far as hiw many players Butch can sign, it's always a guessing game.

At this point I would be happy with a top 10 class. Its not going to get us to a championship level, but its still good.

I'm surprised that Bembrg and Bumphus Labruzza and Murphy and a few others didn't get bumps
