Would we simply be the best bait to get Tate what he wants at OSU? We do seem to get played in that angle sometimes. Good we are in it at all, but kind of illusionary at the same time for fans.

All true. However how do you know Hartline wouldn’t bring his own wrinkles to Heupels system? Remember Golesh came from Iowa State. They didn’t run tempo. And he learned under Heupel. Hartline has been under some really good OCs. I mean do not think he couldn’t adapt to Heupels system? If not, why?

Do you honestly think Hartline could be any worse than Halze? Also factor in that Hartline would easily be our best recruiter from day 1. Sorry but I see zero negatives in trying to get someone like Hartline.

I would love Hartline. I didn’t realize that was the conversation

Means getting big time playmakers consistently. Need them to start doing that at a higher level outside of QB and EDGE moving forward. I'm not the biggest fan of the 'well we lost to the team that won it all' comments, bc those types of talents are also on Georgia, Oregon, Texas, etc year in and year out, so it's not like Vols were just a lock to win a game if they played someone else. Hopefully, they use this as a learning moment to elevate the program (in a couple ways). If they just keep doing the same thing moving forward, will be in this same position every year. 2026 class will be vital IMO. Don't think it's great in-state either so they really have to go out there and win some battles. Or they can keep going for the guys that we'll see people saying 'well that's not a big loss' in 2-3 years

Heupel isn't going to replace Halzle with Hartline, and Hartline isn't leaving his alma mater for a lateral move. You can speculate all you want about how great it would be, but it's not something that is going to actually happen. You're talking to air.

Oh I know but sometimes it’s fun to dream. Oh and stop using conjecture old man.

Some saying Farooq makes the jump this season. I still think about that hit in the NC State game

That’s who I’m looking at to be a stud. Combine him with Jourdon Thomas as starters, and Jakobe Thomas, Christian Charles, and Turrentine as depth pieces, and that’s a solid unit…IF Farooq can make that jump and the others make reasonably expected progress.

Those guys have to stay healthy. Crazy how injury plagued S position has been of late.

True or not, disappointing to come drop that in here and give us no explanation after the fact at all.

Nobody is gonna start telling fans what happened. Bc then it ends up on twitter and the Vol twitter geniuses would blow that kid up incessantly and he’d never hear the end of it which every other player considering entering back channel negotiations with UT would see.

The less this fan base knows, the better.

I get it that’s it’s recruiting and stuff changes but it’s hard to believe it was gonna happen when there wasn’t even any confirmed smoke
No offense but portal stuff is hard to believe

I don’t think insiders should tell everything. HOWEVER, if you come posting in here about a “splash” player, then ghost, of course people are going to ask questions.

Maybe I’m in the minority here, but he could at least explain “yeah we thought we had someone and it fizzled out” etc, or “we are still waiting to hear back etc”

To drop that nug and just ignore it after the fast, makes it seem not true.
