Beginning to worry a little. I wonder if Tennessee doesn’t press a recruit like some schools do to commit?

Outside of RG and landing Carter this staff hasn’t done the best job at closing on highly sought after recruits when it comes to beating out blue bloods for guys. That’s going to have to change or the 2022 season will be this staff’s ceiling

Lol people freak out over nothing. He ov’d at uga, how often do recruits put out negative comments pertaining to an ov? Hardly ever. Same thing happened with brown and look where he ended up.

Right. I’m getting on some of these threads you’d think we were bleeding recruits lol. Fountain has truly been the only shocker.

Tate, Kasper, Benson, Mauigoa, Formby, Sanders, Igbinosun, Fountain, Simmons, Sylvester Smith, Burley, Rojas, Ify, and Fountain are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. We even lost Kam Pringle to a poverty program with a goofus jerkoff of a HC. I’m not going to count Allen and Jackson because they were likely always heading to Georgia and Florida, but they’ve missed on plenty of their fair share of guys they led for at one point. Wingo was pretty much penciled in to this recruiting class 6 months ago as was Boo Carter and now it’s looking like they could miss on both of them and all of a sudden Georgia might be trending in the right direction for Matthews. We’ve gotta start locking those kind of guys down and push them to commit like other schools are. We’re no longer the Tennessee of the past 15 years where we just take guys as they come and finishing second for a bunch of studs is a sign we’re heading in the right direction. That happened all throughout Dooley, Butch, and Pruitt’s era too

You can’t pencil someone in to a class a year before ESD unless they are committed

You really have no clue how this works... do you?

You have guys you plan to recruit. You put them in buckets by talent and position. You pursue those guys and make the best appeal you can. Everyone else does the same. It is a lot like baseball in that you are going to miss A LOT more than you hit and even more so when the guys you pursue are pursued by other great programs. Sometimes you strike out and never get out of the box. Sometimes you dribble a grounder to the pitcher. Sometimes you drill a line drive that someone just steals from you.

You are going Chicken Lil' because the staff can't just draft who they want. They've lost some guys. They've won some guys. The test is what they do with the roster they build.

The coaches can do what they can do. They're doing it the "right way" by all indications... including the testimonies of the recruits themselves.

Stop being a drama queen or find yourself a "safe space" somewhere to cry. The staff knows talent. The staff knows how to develop talent. You... are a whiner on social media.
