[De La Cloobs]

It's happening

 

[Ron Swanson]

Clemson fans think more of our staff’s recruiting abilities than many here on VN

That’s because they’re used to winning. Folks around here aren’t. Don’t know how to be happy.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Goooooood

 

[Redleg68]

I get it that we can't recruit on a Bama and UGA level but we should have a top 6 to 7 class at minimum right behind them

Considering the Abyss we have been in for the past 15 years or so, people should be happy and excited about where Tennessee football is right now.

 

[Teezy]

JMO I'll feel better when Steve locks in that crystal ball. Sounds like he is on the precipice of doing so

The timing was impeccable. Now say that for every recruit we want. Seems like you’re good luck.

Yup. Of course a better class is always wanted, but as a fan, this staff has proven they know what they are doing. I'll let them worry about recruiting.

I am just enjoying not being a middling bottom feeder program. Feels good to be here at all. Savor it, fellas.

I think I got used to winning. You never forget.

Which Fong is this? The one who is off and crazy this year or the ole reliable?

 

[floridavol25]

Anyone think we had some guys waiting to see what the NCAA was gonna do to us before they pulled the trigger to us? Timing seems a bit to perfect

 

[JCVol00]

Nah,

Anyone think we had some guys waiting to see what the NCAA was gonna do to us before they pulled the trigger to us? Timing seems a bit to perfect

the recruits had no way of knowing how soon it would be

Yes!

GBMFO!

Can't use that against us anymore. Is a great day for the program!

Tennessee is only getting players because of NIL or mcdonald bags.

Consistency is key and the past two season are signs we are headed in the right direction and can be recruiting (and landing) at that level soon.

Florida has been trash for like 3 years straight and they're about to land a top 5 class...

We're not doing bad, but we absolutely have to recruit better. Facts.

It's the same argument year after year, and we seem to always make excuses, and forget the previous year

 

[Big Orange#1]

We’re taking our rightful place back from the Clemson fighting dabos.

 

[Big Orange#1]

Also today as of noon is the first day in 3 years our staff has not had to fight the headwinds of NCAA investigation negative recruiting.

I bet the air tastes better in the Anderson Training Complex today.

We went 11-2 on the field last year. There is a thing called getting coached up and executing that you might have forgotten. We had a top 10 class last year, we will have one again when all is said and done. Facts are on the field! GBO

Been saying this for a couple of weeks and some posters on here said recruits do not pay attention to that stuff. Well, well.

Yes but recruiting does matter. You need both to win it all. You gotta finish top 10 year in and year out and most National champions are consistently top 5 iirc.
