We never led

Recruiting can get weird... I mean I know GA is excited and probably worked really hard to get this kid but “hold on I have to sit down, tell me again” it’s just kinda strange to me. Probably just because he picked Georgia but just seemed weird.

“Got to sit down for this one.” Pittman’s such a drama princess.

Pretty good recruiter

 

[kemotoe]

UGA’s staff are like used car salesman. I mean it works on impressionable 16-18 year olds, but still doesn’t make it any less cringey.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Pruitt and Friend landed Morris and Wright last year. Kirby and Pittman got Ratledge this year.

Vols - 2
Dawgs - 1

 

[kemotoe]

I wonder what happens if UGA lands Paris Johnson?

That would give them the top 2 OT in this class with Ratledge bringing up the caboose.

 

[jakez4ut]

so that went as expected.....moving on.

I'll say it when we get an early commit and I'll say it when we lose one, a lot can happen between now and December.

Damn

Pittman: “Now that I’ve sat down and recovered, Tate, let’s talk some more about thangs that ain’t quite football and such! Girls...like in recruiting, if’n you say it NICE it ain’t lying! Whatever lands em so you can go git the next one! Now help Uncle Sam up and let’s go get a Dr. Pepper or some other sody water.”

Lol.

Glad you find my son funny. Sorry we love the Vols. Post was about him not Tate dumbazz.

 

[InVOLuntary]

This is going to be a slow and arduous rebuild. We have to concentrate on Vandy, KY, SC, and Missouri being automatic wins. Most of these high profile players want to compete for championships and we're 2-3 years from even sniffing that. Pruitt will have to do it the Coach Barnes way of bringing in a majority of solid recruits but players that need some time to develop in order to contribute consistently. JMO

To be fair I did have to read it twice before knowing what you meant.

Not going to hate. Kid made a business decision and was respectable about it. He gave us plenty of shots hoping he would get that feeling but at end of the day hard to overcome what is on paper in that we have 2 five star OTs coming in and UGA didn’t do much there last class because of what they did the 2 yrs prior. Pittmann hard enough to beat on level playing field in recruiting let alone with an advantage

 

[bignewt]

this one doesn't hurt nearly as much as the bitch clown squad want you to believe.

 

[yourstruly23]

Not trying to be negative, but he's going to go head to head peer recruiting against us and Harrison now.. hopefully Harrison wins out

neither one makes any difference kids will go to the school they want to go to regardless.

That's some Butch level stuff. Maybe I'm just a jaded old man, but I cringe when I hear things like that...even when they do choose UT.

 

[chargervol]

We're going to lose more than we win going against the elite, unless/until we can match on field results. So fans can eithe be ok with that and we steal a few here and there.
Or petition the staff to shoot lower and "stay in our lane bro", so we feel better about getting commits...then complain about not landing any big fish on signing day.
I want them all but reality. I'll accept the losses but keep trying.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

UGA will always be UGA. More than likely they will eff up and be investigated here soon.

I think it's cheesy as hell but these kids seem to buy into that crap. I think it can be effective. I think Pruitt is a no nonsense straight shooter type and with many of these kids it doesn't resonate. Many of these kids want to be told how great they are and are not interested in hearing what they need to work on.

You can't catch any big fish unless you go fishing where they swim.

Like @SSVol it makes me cringe but you're right. We say all the time "kids aren't going to fall for" but we say that as adults.

Several kids do buy the negative recruiting and the cheesy bs. They're teens.

I'm certain they do, but the kids who are most emotionally susceptible may struggle to make the transition from being recruited to being coached. Can't see a guy like Saban needing to take a seat and pretty sure Pruitt won't either.
