Although it is hard to tell based on what we know, it appears most of these guys are fairly high character guys. I read Ambles' Twitter thread and although I am 41 and so way passed understanding most of the stuff, the stuff I did understand made me wonder how balanced he is.

The problem in surveying the last four years class is that Tennessee has been losing about 50% of its class before the players even takes the field. Tennessee still has some good players, but lacks the depth of the other SEC powers. I attribute a lot of this to an attrition rate which seems pretty high. 50% of the 2007 class already gone when only about five were JCs or early NFL entrants seems far too high for a program of Tennessee's tradition.

Good point. I recall Bobby Bowden stated, quite some time ago, that they made a calculated decision that, if they (i.e. FSU) were going to compete for national championships, they were going to have to overlook a LOT of character flaws. Needless to say, he was the beneficiary of a much more fertile recruiting ground, at least locally, than Dooley or any other Tennessee head coach will ever experience.

One thing is for sure, we got guys that truly want to be at Tennessee. It's my hope they are very high character kids and are ready to get to work to put Tennessee back to where they are supposed to be.

I think we will look back to this years signing class as a great day for UT, and the start of something really special.
