Yawn

Necessary energy level.

Look at the good recruiting classes Pruitt had and what we gained from them. I'll take a lower player with good coaching over a great recruiter that never makes the 4-5 stars seem like 4-5 stars everyday.

Save what you want this class is gonna be a 3* extravaganza recruiting battles against UCF and Memphis types. The staff has to build relationships and learn to close. Burns and Garner can't recruit every position for all the others. It's just a fact. We just held a mega star studded camp in Dallas and it was kinda unanimous when asked about UT. Waiting to see the results of the on field product vs SEC comp and sanctions.

I don't agree with a lot of your posts but this
one is true

At least Burns is getting us Horton and Miller. I’ll take that.

Don’t know why y’all keep arguing with a bag holder, figuratively and literally.. J/s

Some still think de1 is relevant and knows what he is talking about.

Gotta combine the talent with decent coaching. Watch Wanya Morris suddenly become a NFL draft pick

if it’s UT(Heupel) vs tOSU(Day) let’s be realist here it will be absolutely NO contest. Success and winning track record vs the budget coaching carousel. While you want to have hope I think the writing is on the wall about this class. I tried to warn ppl on here when all the hell broke loose. It’s a multifaceted problem for recruits to come here. Admin has been a train wreck, ppl don’t trust or care for Plowman, unproven HC, unknowns from the investigation, unproven staff for the most part With no recruiting relationships to UT level player, and for this most want to see what happens on and off the field because other schools are saying things of negativity to recruits daily. Also these guys have been calling a high tier P5 kid and daily they’ve said you talked to Bama and another kid Fla today as the top of the conversation. So the kids have been hitting the ignore button. These guys have to learn pluck the next school let me show you what UT can do for you.

Edit: not worth getting banned over.

Can anyone help me decipher the last 3 sentences of De1's post?

Smells like someone’s Mc D’s pipeline got shut down. We get it, you don’t like Plowman. But it’s like a broken record.... As for coach Hype, if someone said we were chasing a coach that was t Heisman runner up, had three straight seasons with top 10 offenses, coached at multiple power 5 schools, played in the NFL, was an all American, won the national championship, won 3/4 of his games as a HC, was a coaches son, etc. People would be pretty interested. But it wasn’t a name on anyone’s list and SOME peoples bags got cut off...

Did you actually come here to brag that other schools are in a better position to recruit players this year because of the position that AL idiot left our program in? We do realize what Pruitt did and what some recruits are thinking. We also realize that we now have a coach that has been successful as a player and coach his whole entire, complete life and was not afraid to take over the mess Pruitt created with his bought players that were not required to put the effort in to keep their paycheck. He has a true volunteer spirit of the men that actually had the backbone and pride to create the name of Tennessee Volunteers. Why don't you sit back and watch which kids come here that appreciate the type of coach we have and what he is going to do with his players? I don't care where those kids come from or where they are ranked. In fact, because of all the bragging you do about the NPA kids, I almost don't want any of them. I would rather have the QB from Indiana and the DL from FL than the little wimps just looking for the most successful train to jump on so they can say, "Look at me!!! I have done so much!!!"

Preach

Sums it up nicely.

Your voice of reason has been sorely missed around here!

Sounds like things are going about like I thought they would lol...

Day was a budget hire

 

[butchna]

Day was a budget hire

Was given a test run when Urban had to sit and aced it. Making bank now…and would at other stops. Meh’d his hire at the time, but it’s parallel to Lincoln Riley’s at Oklahoma. Elite offensive mind who benefitted from timing. Some want to compare him to Larry Coker but I don’t see it.

Yes, people are arguing with me. Don't you start.

 

[Sunkistorange]

He may not be a take at OSU if you go by their boards. At least not yet. Seems they have some IOL ranked higher and they view Nichols as strictly interior.

I don't think it's a UT-OSU battle here. I think it's the Vols vs the field, with a heavy lean to life in Knoxville.

 

[EliteVolunteers]

At least Burns is getting us Horton and Miller. I’ll take that.

Mack established a great relationship with a 5 star in his first couple months here, The only issue with recruiting positions so far seems to be OL?

If CONVERSATIONS are the “issue”? Ellarbe’s talking to plenty of 4 star talent. 3 stars are the one’s committing right now.

I don’t follow the last comments about calling two kids. Can you clarify?

Or any defensive position.
