Yeah, he sucks anyways. He doesn't have the heart like a southern QB. I mean, look at Crompton, he is lightyears ahead of Barkley...:crazy:

If Nunes goes to Stanford there is a lot more compititon in front of him. In 2007 and 2008 they got 4 star quarterback. 2006 and this year they already have a 3 stars quarterbacks. If he came to UT there would be less compitition. All he has here is Crompton who is not smart enough to be an SEC QB. Stevens who holds on to the ball too long and Coleman. No one knows what Colemans problem is but it sounds like he is worse than Stevens. It seems like UT is a faster option to the field and a better conference. Plus I havent yet figured out why so many good recruits go to good teams. To make it to the next level 95% of the time you have to play on the field. Rarely do backups make it on pro rosters.

Whatever you say JZ... just keep booing and you'll get exactly the team that amount of class deserves. Boo Fulmer out of town... then the next guy... then the next... then the next.

The fact is, UT isn't USC, UF, UGA, or even Bama. There IS virtually NO in state SEC caliber HS talent growing up dreaming to be a Vol. Out of state talent is UT's lifeblood and every indication of instability gives other SEC coaches ammunition to sway those players.

UT will get one shot at replacing Fulmer... not 5 or 6 like these other schools got. If they blow it, the program will sink like a rock and will take years if not decades to recover. You see programs explode onto the scene... but not in the SEC. The level of competion simply doesn't allow it. As other conferences catch up, it will only get harder.

Do you think losing to Florida every year hurts us with southern recruits, or national recruits for that matter?

Losing to UF has nothing to do with Tennessee HSFB's failure to produce the talent needed to compete in the SEC.

UT could and has benefitted from weaknesses at UF or UGA but in fact the answer to your question is "no". If Fulmer were 2-2 vs Meyer it would have virtually no impact on recruiting.

The quality and support of the fanbase OTOH has alot to do with it. All you have to do to know that is read recruit comments and count the number of times "fans" and "support" are mentioned.

The issue is distance though. It's very hard to overcome that obstacle with recruits.

You are right, but I think the uncertainity over the future of the coaching staff has more to do with it. If its a distance issue, why not decommit altogether? I think its a soft verbal so he can see how the rest of the season shakes out. We win and he comes, we continue to lose and he bails for palo alto.

Why would UF, UGA, or Bama be swaying these out of state recruits if they have in state talent?

The majority of in state talent here either goes to UA, UGA, or ND

If phil were 2-2 against meyer it would have a lot of impact on recruiting because he wouldn't be feeling all the heat from the fanbase. Duh.

Are you seriously going to have a sign bashing Nunes? He hasn't even decommitted.

Miami, FSU, Ron Zook Florida, Notre Dame last season... plenty of teams haven't been hurt by booing fans. Nunes isn't an idiot. He knows that as long as Fulmer is at UT and Meyer is at UF he has 0% of having an undefeated season. He knows that coming to UT means four or five years with no championships. He's a winner. He wants to win. Good for him. I wish we could offer him a winning product.

Completely absurd. We've lost recruiting battles over a few good players that could have really helped us. Carlos Dunlap comes to mind.

Honestly, I could not blame any young man for reconsidering his thoughts of joining this program.

As recruits, I'm sure that Nunes and others access this site, and read posts like the one quoted.

Negative quotes like this don't help the situation whatsoever. I'm not saying that you shouldn't be upset at where we are as a football program, but think before posting something like that.


On the subject of Nunes, Rivals says his interest in Stanford is "High", while Tenn is a "Soft Verbal"... I feel like it would be to his best interest to play at Tennessee. Crompton only has one more year, and Nunes could take over as a RS Freshman and play all four years (if he didn't beat out Crompton for the job as a true freshman). Stanford, however, has recruited a 4-star QB each of the past two recruiting years, and Nunes will most likely be spending time on the bench behind these two.

Nunes won't be coming here. I do truly believe most of the reason is decommitted is because of distance.

I would much rather have Jimmy Clausen than Cromtpn right now. Just decided I'd throw that out there.
