We do need receivers. We’re too heavy with upperclassman. I bet we keep him there and take 3-4 next cycle.

Your right about needing WR's. But we do have some time to fill the rest of this class, Let's hope between now and Feb, CP and staff find another one. Hopefully a burner.

This kid is a Vol now and I want him to be great but the fact that people get so mad when people are critical is absurd.

Payton didnt come here and will either be at MS State or Ole Miss
Ellis didnt come here and will be at Baylor but was also considering Texas, Arizona, and Huston.
Means is here and if he wasnt his options were Rutgers and Uconn. Maybe UNC but I'm not sure if Mack Browns staff has been recruiting him.

It is a combination of wishful thinking and being closed-minded by posters who simply will not tolerate difference of opinion. This guy was our last WR option for a reason.

The fact that we’ve had to settle for our “last option” too much in recent recruiting classes is troubling. This is a new staff with a new vision and approach to recruiting.
Jeremy Pruitt’s ability to recruit as a Head Coach is yet to be determined, but this class sure does feel similar to last year’s class.
Big swing and a whiff.

So you prefer the route Butch took by only going after the ones that were for sure gets. I prefer the fact that they are going after players no one thought we could get. If you only look at today, sure it doesn't look too good, but Wanya, Keyton, and others committed early and stayed with us. What I'm most excited about is the fact that the ones we got that want to wear orange are going to be coached well. It's a glass half empty half full way of looking at it.

I have no issue with going for the home runs. I also trust the staffs ability to recognize talent. They say he ran a 4.4 forty when he was on campus earlier in the year. Do I wish we would’ve gotten a few more of the big targets of course but trying to flip guys from Alabama and uga is never easy. Especially since we aren’t competing for championships right now. We are trying to sell a dream. They can offer results right now.

Looked to see who you were quoting. I see it was catbone, the #1 biggest loser on this board. I'd rather be locked in an elevator for a few hours with Bruin than have to read Catbones posts on VN. Don't know how you guys do it. Nothing but negative, woe is me, eeyore pathetic existence. TBH, surprised that dude hasn't jumped in front of a bus by now. What a pathetic loser. smh

Are there any former Vols named Means. Seems like there was a LB here in the 80s or 90s. Can any of our UT historians confirm this?

You know I have been negaive but my God, catbone is just pathetic. I dont see why he doesnt just go to the UGA boards and be happy. I dont understand why people cannot get excited for our team with Pruitt and his staff.

He’s serving some higher purpose camping out on another team’s board. He’s very likable and maybe he’s developed an affection for the fans but he’s no Vols fan.

Yep. It’s not who wins or loses, it’s how you play the game, right? 🙄

Wish I would have known this. I thought he was like that person everyone tolerates because they feel sorry for them.
