My main point is that this staff has earned at least some degree of deference. They aren't stargazers either. But they know how to see talent and develop it. If they think Luttrell can be a quality SEC safety... I'll buy.
Folks who watch highlight videos and then want to make declarations about someone the staff may not want being better than someone they obviously do want... I think those folks have an issue.
I'm not talking about blind trust either. There were several Jones 4* recruits who weren't even FCS quality talents. He didn't earn the trust that he knew how to find or develop talent. I really don't think you can argue that about the current staff.
Butch wasn't totally awful at finding talent that wasn't ranked high. (Moseley, Sutton, etc)
"Heupel" is what Butch wanted to be i think.
The highlights spotlight potential at best. Whole film shows you where they need to improve. But I don't do that anymore. It's far too time consuming to no be compensated for it.
The specific issue in this thread AND the Boo Carter thread, AND the Cam Seldon thread is:
1) Some people simply lack reading comprehension. They just don't read well enough.
2) Don't know enough about football.
3) They can't judge from an unbiased point of view.
- I told Boo Carter's mom that she shouldn't come on to any site and catch an attitude or get offended because people were comparing her son to NFL players (out of excitement). Last time I checked Tennessee is 8-0 and there isn't a Boo Carter in Orange and White. I'm not going to kiss anyone'sass because they happen to be a relative of a recruit
...mind you, I DID NOT catch an attitude with her. And now all of a sudden according to
@swchandler1988 , Im dogging Boo Carter HIMSELF???? He and those other asshats can kick rocks!
- I said Cam Seldon "would never be a starter". And then CLEARLY explained that he was an offensive weapon that you could never scheme for... so there was no use in pegging him in a starting position . I explained how all variations and calls of a defense come from the base defense. This base defense practices against these calls based on a BASE offense. Cat and mouse or what not, and then explained how CP and Deboo were guys that actually were creating their own position in the NFL. Then I even used Reggie Bush as an example of massive production despite not being a "starter" but for only 14 games out of 39 played.
But again...lack of football knowledge and people just not being being able to read leads me to be AGAINST THE 2023 RECRUITING.

- Luttrell. I've never said ONE bad thing about him. I've been in his boat since the beginning...but oh! I happened to notice his own teammates (Lyric Thomas) was a better player. Despite not being ranked at all. Thomas has been awarded Defense Player of The week TWICE in an extremely competitive conference. The same defense that Luttrell is on. So there goes that argument right there that I may or may not be Stargazing.
There are some straight idiots on here!!
If I supposedly didn't like Luttrell because he's a 3 star...then WTF would I want his teammate to be a Vol instead- whos UNRANKED???
. A zero star!
Illogical people. That's the most annoying thing to me. People that literally can't disseminate easy information...smh.
