Much will depend on how the Vols play this year. If we lose to WK and win only 1-2 SEC games, many of the 2014 Commits will bolt for safer grounds unfortunately. If we knock off a favored SEC team it will help retaining 2014 commits immensely. Not many of the best recruits want to play for a loser.

Please feel free to join Volador in timeout -in the doesn't get it section - in the hasn't been tracking what is taking place or going on in the past 6 months area- or in the just not a rocket scientist or have apparently never even stayed in a Holiday Inn Express department.

We could easily win 5 games and keep every single commitment - because unlike you and Volador -- these kids get it. Do you think Alabama lost most of their commitments when Saben went 6 - 6 his first year? 5 or 6 wins just means that these kids get on the field that much sooner.

Not logical Captain -

CBJ has exceeded everyone's predictions for the number of quality commitments for 2014. But those are verbal. Here is what I project to be our chances for signing those 3 Star Prospects and above come next year after this Fall's performance on the gridiron:

#of Wins/# of Losses and the % 3*+ Kept

4-8 40%
5-7 45%
6-6 50%
7-5 70%
8-4 or better 90%

I'm 98.62% sure that 100% of our commits are aware that we finished 5-7 last year. This means that they are committing to the future. I can also say with 99.87% confidence that your analysis was pulled out of your anus. :)

Instant playing time is definitely an overated factor in recruiting IMHO. People point to this all the time as why kids should choose a school... Not true IMO. Kids want to win and go to the NFL and get mama a brand new benz.

I think these recruits understand the pride of rebuilding a program. To know they have a chance to do something special. Check out their tweets. They get it!

This is wear I still blame Dooley. This kind of mindset within our program. I get being realistic but come on.

These kids know Tennessee might struggle this year but they've made a good relationship with Butch Jones and each other. They're a family and I can't see none of them decommiting regardless what happens this season.

I rank this projection right up there when the Dooley drinkers said he will get Tn back on top, just give him time.and the Gruden drinkers who said SOON. pretty soon this will fail just like the 1st two failed. Tn will probably lose some commits but it wont because wins/loses , Im sure BJ made them aware of all possibilities. smdh

People forget Aubrun didn't win a single SEC game last year and fired their coach and still held on to a top ten class

Good thing this wasnt in the recruiting forum or the OP would be in the locked garage starting his car right now...

I believe that only a VERY few of the current 2014 class will change their commitments. My reasoning is:

(1) It's no secret that we have a tough schedule and that 6-6 or 7-5 are reasonable outcomes. All the recruits know this.
(2) It's also no secret that there is an abundance of early playing time in 2014 to be had. That is a major selling point right now to recruits.

If we lose a recruit, it will be because of a late offer from a "dream" school. I would say that +90% (-2 loses maybe) stay with the Vols. For everyone who leaves, there will be 4-5 wanting that opening. This will be the best, most balanced recruiting class in UT history. VFL

You, my friend, should really look into the possibility of a career in politics.

I just wonder if CBJ will ever learn how to hold on to them after he gets a commit...by my calculations he will hold onto 113% in 2014, :clapping:I'M really nERvEouS:scare:
