Malik Brown to transfer...

[Volfreak1964]

Good luck to him! Time to reload!

 

[golf437]

No offense to him but Butch's just trimming the fat.

Not true.

 

[Vol8188]

Butch's first class is disintegrating. Carr,brown,Fergie, Jenkins?????:cray:

Don't forget Paul Harris. But I consider it more of Dooley's class.

Where is the Malik Brown official appreciation thread?

 

[GBOVOLS]

We'll have 25 schollies to offer before you know it.

How man do we have to offer anyway?

 

[orangeluvr]

Attrition the saban method. :yes:

 

[tobybeast]

I wish him luck. Sounds like we are losing a little weight. Maybe the competition weeded him out.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Well I'm glad we got Robertson and Sawyers in the closing months last year!

Good Luck in Future Endeavors Malik!

Yeah I think last years class was basically Dooleys and bUTch just mainly tried to salvage it. Similar to how Dooley tried to salvage and hold together Kiffins last group of idiot YouTube stars....

I would say 2014 is bUTch's first class.

So last year was year 0?

RS freshman DE Malik Brown plans to transfer to another school, per Butch Jones. Brown has battled injuries throughout his UT career.

Okay!! So Malik will transfer and suddenly he will have no more injures.

If he were healthy he might see the field. So, why transfer? Just get healthy and push for playing time.

Goog luck Malik!

I remember a few weeks ago we when we had 18 scholarships open for 2015 Butch said he expected to recruit about 22 + for 2015 looks like we are getting close to the attrition quota even with the preferred walk ons and gray shirts we are putting on scholarship..

Not on the field, but as far as recruiting goes I'd say that that's a pretty fair statement. People gave Dooley a lot of flack for that, but it doesn't make it false. Dooley's problem wasn't that the first year wasn't up to snuff. His problem was that HE wasn't up to snuff and we were only really able to judge that in years 2-3 (or 1-2 if you prefer).

Volquest writers pretty much agree almost a full class. I bet by signing day it will be as their will be one or two more leave before it's all said and done.

dropping like flies.

oh well

Because there's no way he was gonna beat out J Johnson, Hendrix, Henderson, or Barnett (if he stays at DE). And then we have Andrew Butcher and possibly another 1 or 2 DEs coming in next fall.

The writing was on the wall for him.

hopefully they pan out.

I think the odds of at least 2-3 of the 7 DL we took last class (5-6 of which were rated as 4 stars by at least one recruiting service) panning out are pretty good.

probably so. we need em. Id quit just paying attention to the stars though. Carr was also a 4 star. McNeil was somehow a top 80 player.

That's the way I mostly see it but some recruits were Butch's

I wasn't saying stars automatically make a player good, but you have to admit the odds are better of finding 2-4 quality starters from a group of 4 stars or 5 stars than from 2 and 3 stars.

That doesn't mean 3 stars and even the occasional 2 star can't make it big. Give me a 3 star with a killer work ethic (like Jashon Robertson) over a 4 star with a lack of passion for the game (like Carr) any day.

Being highly rated usually means that a player has the physical tools to become a good or great player. That's a good starting point, but there's a lot more to being a good football player than just having the physical tools. McNeil and Carr are perfect examples of this.
