I also encourage people not to get discouraged today. Remember this is the 1st of 2 signing days. We’re in good position for a couple more huge recruits. If we strike out on them in Feb then yeah sure go ahead and panic
Wright, Gray, and Crouch most likely. That's a solid finish.
But is there really anyone else of significance? Russel will be a nice pick up but he isn't going to generate a tone of excitement. Unless the stars align and the seas part, HT is not coming here.
Hopefully someone like Bryce Thompson falls in our lap again this year.
You absolutely have zero idea as to what you are attempting to talk about. You, like many posters read something and interpret it the way you want to rather than the way it was meant.I keep seeing references to AV even in this thread. You cats do realize he cosigned the complete BS, the largest troll job I've ever seen on VN, in the Gruden thread by MIT Beaver, right??? Why you give that cat 1% credibility on anything is beyond me to understand, but hey, it's still a free country, go for it if so inclined.
Shhhhhh, you’re gonna ruin his agendaYou absolutely have zero idea as to what you are attempting to talk about. You, like many posters read something and interpret it the way you want to rather than the way it was meant.
AV NEVER SAID GRUDEN WAS COMING TO COACH THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE VOLUNTEER FOOTBALL TEAM! NEVER!
You mean like Wright, Crouch, and Russell?
And, to be fair, UT is far from the only school that's going to be scouring the nation in January for unsigned kids at need positions.
Wright, Gray, and Crouch most likely. That's a solid finish.

Too many holes along the DL.
Russel isn't a bad pick up but he's pretty much the definition of a late find/scraping the barrel; how many did we strike out on before we got to him? A lot.
I agree; the lack of DL recruits is a real issue with this class. An elite pass rusher is sorely needed.
I don't think Russell is "scaping the barrel" at all--he's received a number of SEC offers over the past few weeks, and appears to have the measurables to be an impact player. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but we struck out on Pappoe (and likely Henry T) before turning up the heat on Russell?
Who is the second 5 star OT we got today?
Exactly. Jones lied through his teeth and oversold everything. There simply is no shortcut. Fitzgerald is the biggest ‘signee’ of the day.
