Were you aware that when the last guy left, nearly all our playmakers and solid recruits left with him, leaving the current guy to essentially rebuild an entire program, and within those three years he’s 27-12? Because that’s pretty fantastic considering the circumstances.

Ah so your bar for success is to be better than Jeremy Pruitt? Got it

I understand what you’re saying but you have no idea yet if it’ll be a problem, which is what I’m saying. Pretty excited to watch it play out!

The fact that I’m year 4, 8 months from kickoff (as has been pointed out), we are looking at starting a walk on at OT signifies a problem imo. Poor evals and poor recruiting at that position. There’s really no way around it. It’s gotta be better. We’ve seen what Ellarbee can do with top talent, but if he can’t get any here then his coaching and development only go so far.

We’ll see how it goes!

You would have a point if this was the end of the transfer portal, but it’s not so you make absolutely no sense but be my guest and continue complaining about the roster when it is not even set for Fall yet…

At this point in time, it is a problem. Sounds like you agree. We have no idea what the portal looks like after spring but there is a chance that the selections aren't much better. If that's the case, the misses remain the issue as they are today. There are a lot of misses to point to.

Bc I like to see who UT is recruiting and which guys decide to be Vols.

Miss me with the sky is falling bc the the roster isn’t up to your standards energy. THAT is FF energy.

A walk on starting on the OL is Dooley years stuff. That isn't a standard issue by me. That's a significant roster issue by all but a few of you. Hope we get lucky with the spring or one of these two OL gets convinced.

How do you know he’s starting? The first game is Aug 31. No depth chart out for that game yet.

We’ve won 11 games and 9 games the last 2 years with a promising young QB being given the keys to the offense.

There are only like 9-10 other programs in the country that have had that type of success over the last 2 seasons.

Feels like an excellent position to be in.

And that should be an attractive selling point to these top portal lineman, but for whatever reason, it isn't. So recent success isn't an issue. Future promise, isnt either. Money isn't an issue, apparently. Just a weird situation. For some reason, these kids don't want to come here. I know there was a recent negative recruiting angle that our system isn't a good preparation for the NFL, but Darnell Wright should have suppressed that notion.

His minutes vs Iowa indicate it. How do you know he won't?

I don’t. I’m not assuming he does or doesn’t like you are.

He could be beat out by Aug 31, whether it be by a younger guy who develops or by a later portal add.

Or he could start and be ok.

He could also start and suck. But that’s not the only option despite your assumption.

I will point out to everyone this is about money most of the time. Doesn’t look like Tennessee is spending a lot BUT you look at guys like Pearce, Omari, etc and those guys aren’t hitting the portal so you know they’re getting taken care of.

Or maybe they just aren't money hungry asshats with zero loyalty. 🤔

No, what I am saying is it is not a problem unless they don’t get anybody by Fall camp…the transfer portal is not over
