Most of us are glad about this commitment, but let's not start going overboard with imaginary histories of how Fulmer has done better coaching-up in-state sleepers than he has with highly rated out-of-state talent.

I'm always glad to get aggressive, hard working kids that grew up as VOLS. I'll take a 3* Tennessee kid with heart and passion over a 4* kid with a bad attitude from out of florida, etc. any day.

He just turned 17. He could still grow.

UT has usually had more success building guys up than trying to trim fat off.

An aggressive kid with a love for the game, a love for the Vols, great footwork, and a 3.8 gpa to boot.... give us 4 more just like him.

Where in those quotes does it say we coach up lower rated prospects?

sjt was talking about weight and strength. The first has nothing to do with building up lower rated prospects.

He just said he would rather take a kid who's been a fan and have more love for the program who was lower rated than a kid with a possible attitude from out of state who may be higher rated. Nowhere in his post did he say we could coach them up or would coach them up.:crazy:

I didn't say it, the other guy did. I'm pretty sure the kid doesn't run an 8 second forty either. I was just disproving VHB. I would much rather get higher rated prospects coming here than lower ones, but an instate three star isn't bad. Especially since OL is a need and Bullard is ND bound.

give me all the attitude guys in the world that are 5* athletes. It worked out pretty well for the U.

Regardless, we can both agree that he needs to put on some weight and lower his 40 time. He needs to look good in that black jersey.

Yes. It is also hard to remember (for some perhaps) that this guy still has a year of High School. He will be bigger this time next year.

I really don't know why you and VH are so insistent on this point that at the very best is debatable... but probably not even that. UT under CPF has done a pretty good job of "coaching them up" or else finding guys others miss. They're in the top 5 for putting guys in the pros and not in the top 5 on avg with recruiting according to the services.

IMO, they coach players up just fine. His problem has been game day coaching against the better opponents.

You really can't have that both ways can you? You can't say that he's a terrible gameday coach if he's competing as well as he usually does with players subjected to subpar development.

I don't know how Clawson might help/hurt... but I think UT's greatest need isn't development but on game day.
