'26 NC QB Faizon Brandon (Tennessee commit)

[OrangeMoundTNVol]

Mid major staff doesn’t go 10-2 and make the playoff. Mid major staff doesn’t average 10 wins over the last 3 seasons while playing in the SEC.

I was partly joking kid, calm down

Not a kid

Give me Savion Hiter and I’ll forget about Keys, go 0fer and I’m still screaming mid major staff

Avg’ing 9.6 wins per year the last 3 seasons isnt mid major per se, but to your point: our staff really does struggle recruiting in certain areas, mainly position coaches. Wr and oline mainly, we dont have any difference makers there that we need to take the next step

We are often in the mix for top talent among recievers and o line. Can't remember the last top 5 defensive back we were in on.

Need a difference maker at receiver. Plain and simple. that said. stack as much talent as possible.

In the mix, but never close out on the top talent. Sanders and MM were both all heup and spyre

What if the best receiver doesn’t wanna go to UT

This seems to be your thing. You always say well what if the player just doesn’t like UT. I am sure that’s the case sometimes but come on. How many times do we hear a guy say oh I grew up a TN fan, I love TN or they are at the top. And then boom, they just go somewhere else. Does that really sound like a guy just doesn’t want to go to TN?

Growing up a fan of a team doesn’t mean jack except to people who remain fans and never become players

But why be does your answer to these threads always seem to be the same when it’s just seems illogical? Like I said, it’s not like some of these guys don’t say they like us or anything and commit elsewhere. You seem to always come up with well what if they just don’t like TN? So these recruits say they love the visit, the staff, the players, Knoxville, the stadium, facilities, game day environment and many other things but all of a sudden out of nowhere they just don’t wanna come here? Please.

I am sure that’s the case sometimes but the bottom line is we are getting our bid most of the time. Lay a bigger bag at Keys feet and I would be willing to bet he flips to us.

In the scenario you’re talking about, it’s simple. Recruits can love more than one place/visit. Just about every visit every recruit goes on has them saying the place was amazing, love the staff, the culture, and on and on.

No doubt sometimes it’s money. Other times it could just be they liked one of the many other places they visited more. Knoxville TN does not have exclusive rights to elite game day atmospheres, good coaching staffs, program history, top notch facilities, etc
