How funny is it that you have such strong opinions of me that you want me gone, meanwhile I don’t even know who you are 😂

Maybe use the ignore feature 😉

I don’t want you gone just wanted to see if you actually had info, obviously you don’t so A+ getting the “reaction” you were hoping for in a recruit thread for a team you supposedly root for.

I don’t get it most everybody on this board doesn’t get it, but you continue doing whatever it is that you are doing 👍🏻

Elarbee recruited Addison Nichols who never could quite get on the field here. Transferred to Arkansas and became their starting center. Until he got hurt. Point being, we have yet to see a kid he's recruited from high school make a difference on the OL. Our current OL is made up of two guys he inherited (Cooper & Sprags) and three guys we pulled from the transfer portal. We need to see guys like Sham and Lang and Warren develop and get serious playing time.

I guess we can’t bitch about Banks anymore right?

He had no chance in hell recruiting high 4or 5* guys until Darnell got drafted. They did good with the ‘24 class, much better with ‘25. He ain’t goin nowhere so start bitchin about something else. One thing about Knoxville, we gonna bitch about something.

Really all we need to see are successful o-lines.

Doesn’t matter if they’re from HS, the portal, juco, inherited, etc

I don’t think it matters much what the fans are talking about on a message board, as it relates to the football team. Pretty sure the actual team isn’t discussing fahr CGE, and is in fact, concentrating on arkansas

Lol I'm talking about us, the fans. We all know the team, staff don't give 2 sh*ts what we say on here. Just trying to get everyone to enjoy the ride. Decade of the Vols!

You know we can’t just sit back and enjoy anything around here! Lol

After this class and the last OL class, I’m not finding a lot of fault in our OL recruiting. Idc who gets them on campus or how, as long as they make it to campus and are coached up.

Too many examples of family members of recruits / players posting on here being a bit offended by something they read to think the team doesn’t care. I recall Boo’s mom getting bent out of shape on here over what appeared to be a misunderstanding. No way the players wouldn’t take offense to some of the hyper critical takes by some of the self absorbed VN types. JMO

Don’t be shocked if he heads back to LSU after this season ends.

I’d love for you to expound on that statement. I’ve heard some rumors about staff thinking he could play and his “agent” wanting him to sit out bc he wasn’t “healthy enough” to go against a great pass rush. Is this more of a Heard decision if it happens or sort of a mutual parting of ways or are you just kind of guessing?

On a scale of 0-10 with 10 being flawless where are we after AR?

I don’t know.

I put really good before because that’s what some people in the building believe and I thought that would give me more credibility to say what I saw as his flaws.

Saturday was an absolute disaster and makes me think this is even worse than I thought.

Fair. So essentially we need to portal a Darnell Wright and a Mayes brother ever season... which is impossible. I think Addison was not great at AR, but he was up against likely the best DL in the country and was starting.
