Here's what most of you don't understand....

[g8terh8ter_eric]

We NEED schollies for next year. It will be Kiffin's first class and he needs the room to sell the program. We didn't have a whole lot to give out this time so we just focused on getting more athletic and getting faster, which we accomplished. All the whining that is going on is just plain asinine and stupid. I would have liked to seen the previous staff come in under the same situation and do what this one accomplished in so little time. Also, most of you don't realize that 4 of our coaches weren't actively recruiting players in college for any other program. Lane, Monte, Coach O, and James Cregg were all in the NFL. For them to do what they did without having the knowledge of two years of relationships is simply remarkable. I can't wait until next year when we have a Top 5 class and watching most of you eat crow that are complaining right now. They have also already offered at least 80 Juniors for next year while trying to recruit the last part of this year's class. Also, we took some players that we shouldn't of and lost some that we would have liked to see stay and this happens every year so get over it. I enjoyed watching this staff do what they did this year and I don't think they will disappoint anyone next year.

I'm ready and roaring for next season. Hey, don't forget to get Jaquez's template ready. I will probably start next year's commitment thread next month sometime, or I may wait until the start of summer, depending on number of commits.

We still have a good team even w/o the current signees. We have already gotten a glance at how the staff is going about business and if they coach half as hard as they recruited in the 2 months they were here, then we have a lot to look forward to in the future.

 

[Sabanocchio]

Gotcha.

Why be disappointed?? Most people were willing to give up this class to get a new coach. If that were my mentality (it wasn't) I would be happy.

 

[COOKEVOL]

You are correct sir!

Nice post Eric. Thanks for putting the madness into perspective.

 

[jakez4ut]

I'm so glad I logged on and got learned about this there UT fooball.

 

[Dudleys87]

I agree.
Next year will be different, just look at what we sign today for next years class.

 

[Jack Burton]

Wait until more good news starts to come through about the 2010 class. Most of the negativity will start to disappear, but there will always be some complaints. Even with a top 5 class people will still find something to whine about.

damn this sucks. I hate GA and AL. For anyone that has ever lived in either state they know what I am talking about.

I do not mind losing recruits but not to these A@@ schools.

 

[kotheb]

Amen Eric.

With all the good talent reported to be in-state next year, and with the commitment from Smith already, I'm far more excited about next year.

The 2010 class is going to be a great one.

 

[vogols11]

I concur... The most important thing to do now is to improve on the 5-7 record. With Bama and Florida widening the talent gap with this year's class it will be even more important to stay competitive in order to keep kids interested in the program. With all the talent and energy that this new staff has brought, it would be absolutely devastating to flop in the first year in the SEC. With losses to teams like Ole Miss, South Carolina, and Auburn next season we could officially drop into the lower tier of the SEC.

THAT's what scares me...

 

[FLSTF-VOL]

Give it a rest. Silent commits, surprises, building fences, only going after top notch talent, needing scholarships, no time, blah, blah, blah.

Even if what you say is correct he would have to sign kids that are ready to play the day they sign next year.


We needed players now.

I don't understand.

pj would you please change avatars. I feel like you are an offspring of Outdors21.

 

[BloodRUNZOrange]

i mean i agree. it is a little dissapointing about brown and really dissapointing with stokes and oku....but we did steal some talent away from florida...so its not all bad...we hit the ground running for 10 though....

Great Post Eric!!!! Couldn't have said it better myself.
