Gran/Wilson Fall-out thread (merged)

Reading the latest on Luc, he was losing ratings because his hips where stiff. Yeah he is a monster, but was losing his star rating 5< to 4? How does that happen if you are that good? Maybe UT is the one that told him to look around?

I really thought he was a Vol, and I'm sad to see him go. But here's the thing, we still have a lot of talent left on the board. Corey Nelson would make me forget all all about Luc, Christian Jones is labled as an unblockable pass rusher!

Check out Nelson, he's underrated as a 4*, seriously underrated!

You need to take this up with Kiffin since Kiffin apparently isn't going to give him as much as FSU...

The Anthony Johnson thread says HI!

Ha my multiple threads talking about AJ being FW's cousin and how that would really hurt say HI!

Again, we should trust Kiffin's decision. If he doesn't believe Gran is worth the money, then we shouldn't believe he is worth it either...

I am starting to think more that it is not about the money, that Kiffin knows that he would rather have Orgeron as recruiting coordinator than Gran, and being RB coach even if he makes 300k is not good enough for him.

I will say that Luc following Gran is kind of a big F U to Kiffin and Lance Thompson.

Big Lance makes a lot of money for someone who has not been able to recruit anyone so far. I am expecting a big finish from him, but so far Gran was doing more for the LB class than he was.

At least he went to FSU and not Florida. I'd actually like to see FSU return to power in the ACC and be more effective in recruiting against Florida. While we may lose a few Florida prospects it dilutes Florida which is a good thing.

The sky has already fallen. Fulmer's final year was one of the low points in UT football history or at least recent history. We are recruiting better as far as coaches and players and playing better on the field. This program is on the way up this is only a speed bump.

This +1.

I liked Gran, but if he leaves he leaves and we move on as a program. I can't believe the suicide watch that is going on here and at TOS over assistant coaches. I'd rather have teams trying to get our assistant's than them hardly getting a sniff for 10 years.

Maybe, but typically in the crazy recruiting world, information received is only good for about 24 hours for the most part. The people who think that the same things are true now that they were 3 months ago need to change their thought process somewhat. If I have learned anything following the recruiting process, it would be in this order....

1. When a recruit says something, don't believe anything you hear until they step foot on campus to enroll or sign an LOI. Every recruit typically gives the same generic interview to every school they visit.
2. A commitment means nothing.
3. Information received can change within 5 minutes of receiving it.
4. There are kids that go to schools because they have free ice cream (true story). These kids can change their minds in an instant if presented the right things.
5. Criticizing others constantly and only being negative will result in the information stream coming to a stand still with particular people. They don't want to hear the negative spin constantly and will stop posting anything involving a recruit and will keep it to themselves.

Basically, just enjoy the process. No one is right 100% of the time, myself included, and don't get mad because these 17 year old kids change their minds and blame us because they did.

Well said. It sucks to loose Luc. He was my favorite commit to date but it is impossible to predict a 17 year old who is getting pulled 15 different ways in some cases. We are lucky to get some inside information from you guys, if we didn't, we would never even hear a thing about Luc at all and not have sweat a thing about it.

He never committed from what I know.

Yeah , thats what I've been thinking. One name kept going thru my mind, Chris Donald. After years of watching Montes Def at Tampa, I didn't see how Luc would fit in the T2 sheme. Compare what you have seen of his Pass coverage to Brooks, Quarles,Nece,or Ruud. CMK ask a lot of his LBs in the passing game. I'm not saying this kid won't be a great player, but I dont think he fits here.
