'19 NC QB Sam Howell

It’s April, he’s been on the job 5 month, Tennessee went 4-8 last year and has pretty much sucked for a decade. Is it really surprising that we haven’t gotten weekly commits from 4 stars? Maybe it takes a little longer to build those relationships and close the deal. Or maybe it’s just easier to blame Pruitt and say he isn’t a good recruiter.

LOL

Pruitt is well known for his recruiting and the BVS sufferers choose to forget that conveniently when they want to wring their hands.

Despite how much talk there’s been about Howell, some things I’ve heard recently have made me think he’s not as high on Tennessee’s QB board as people might think.

Sounds like Simonton was right.

Tennessee used up its allotment of salesmanship under Jones. Kids witnessed Clemson,Bama, GA, etc., actually win.

Pruitt's future in both recruiting and coaching will be determined on the field. We need the best we can get but judging our staffs recruiting at the moment, is useless.

If we win, suddenly Pruitt will be a recruiting genius.

I think it has more to do with how signing day 2018 finished and we didn’t land any of the top targets we were after. Some even mocked us like Quay. With us losing Norton to UGA, Wanya now trending toward auburn and Howell towards FSU, it feels like we’re gonna be the bridesmaids a lot again. But maybe the staff isn’t that high on Howell. We’ll see what happens.

Correct.

Which is why he’s leaving no stone unturned to add talent for this fall with JUCO’s and grad transfers. He needs to show improvement THIS FALL.

Oh I agree.
I do hate having to give up spots but nothing the staff can do will be as good for the future as winning.

And winning as quickly as possible, especially in this day and age.

“That I have. Have noted several times lately that FSU and Clemson were pushing much harder for Howell right now. Sam likes Tennessee a whole lot, but the Vols seem to be taking things slowly with a lot of QBs.”

Why? Usually QB’s commit early and are important for peer recruiting. Maybe they just don’t know who they want yet. Weird
