The bottom line, dudes, is that the Vols have been CRAP in recent years--since 2002. So not only has this crop of recruits not seen GOOD UT football, they've seen BAD UT football--often very bad--and that catches up to you. That's the big reason we've lost recruits to schools that we would never have lost prospects to in the past--UVA, Texas Tech, Ole Miss, Miss. State, Southern Miss, Arkansas. Give me a frickin' break! The program plunged into mediocrity under the Big Hand Clapper/Excuse maker--and that, combined with the coaching change, has put us behind the eight ball. A lot of these kids don't have a high opinion of UT football. LSU has won two national titles in recent years while we we were getting our ass kicked by maryland and clemson and hanging on against Kentucky. Georgia had one of the top QBs in the country last year--and probably has others in the wings--while we had a guy who couldn't complete a basic slant and couldn't get a frickin' first down against auburn! Nothing helps recruiting more than winning.
