Think 3, gule? I am thinking more like 6. He really needs to be successful and make a name for himself, because when (if) he comes to UT, everyone will expect an immediate NC or at least a FF. I just hope he is wildly successful at La Tech....unless he plays us!

Before Tyler gets a court win over Holly, watch for the first time they go head-to-head for a recruit and Tyler gets the LOI--THAT will be noteworthy.

That's when the clock in Knoxville starts ticking in earnest.

Can anyone share some names that Amber Smith had already developed recruiting relationships with before leaving Knoxville?

Wasn't Mickey considered a power house recruiter? She may give an advantage to La Tech, although I believe Kyra has been given a lot of the credit for KY being able to sign top class players. Wait and see. But you're right on recruiting...no matter how good a coach, one can't coach what isn't there.
