I think this is a big reason for that lack of faith. We haven't had this much hype since I've been old enough to remember, everybody in the country says lookout for Tennessee to make noise in the SEC, potential dark horse national championship contender...but recruiting is struggling big time.

Hype is a predictor of future success, not current success.

Georgia is on fire right now with recruits. The Emory Jones committment today really bothered me. I thought he'd wait til NSD.

You thought he would wait until NSD to do what....sign? He will. Is him committing to OSU bad news. Of course. Means there is a better chance he signs with OSU than UT. But at the end of the day, he hasn't signed anything. I have paid attention to recruiting for alot of years now. Things change. Often. Sometimes on a dime. Don't panic until ink is dry.

Everyone calm the f@#% down and enjoy the weekend. We're all for the same team! (For the most part). Until OV says otherwise, some of you need to STFU and chill!

If you can't recruit with all this hype then wait until all the talent leaves after this year and there is no hype.

Butch must win big this year to prove that he is more than just an average coach.

Of course, I was talking about his announcement instead of the signing of the ink on NSD. You think I'm that dumb?

You're right! What he says doesn't mean anything but I think we most with any common sense no what today's news means. Are you on the same boat or lost at sea?

Well when you're lost at sea I'd guess waiting and hoping is a lot of your day.

You're wasting your time buddy. The NegaVols have took over this thread.

You obviously have not been keeping up with the thread. If you did you would understand the context of those questions which were a response to your friend Butchna who was claiming the talent on hand for 2017 will be enough to build the hype like 2016.

5 wins, then 7 wins, then 9 wins. I'm not selling hope. I'm selling proven, clear improvement. Back to back bowl blowouts. My squad is right there. Literally a point away in these games. It's not hope. Its apparent and imo very sellable. The recruiting issue IMO is internal and the way it's being executed.

We're not competiting with Vanderbilt and Kentucky for recruits man. We're competiting with Clemson and Ohio State.

I don't know why it's hard for you to understand that saying we won 9 games isn't as appealing as we made it to the national title game or we had 5 guys drafted in the 1st round like our biggest competitors right now.

In the grand scheme of things, our accomplishments aren't that impressive compared to what teams like Ohio State and Clemson can sell.

I don't understand how so many people believe that if we win 10+ games, all of these elite guys that seem to be going elsewhere ATP, will suddenly be knocking down butch's door to commit.

Sure it'll help with some, but it won't just magically give us a top 5 class (like everyone said 17 would be after a mediocre class last year)

It might not affect the 2017 class but it'll definitely affect the 2018 class.
