How many of those CB's would be starting any where else?

Play it how you want but we needed quality CB's and we didn't get them. We whiffed.

Most of them are very young so there's no way of knowing that. I know they were recruited by other big name schools so it's not like we have a lot of projects. Plus with the lack of continuity and hate on the defensive side of the ball there was no chance of success. JK,Abernathy and Warrior aren't bad options to start with though. Wouldn't consider long shots from Cali as whiffs. JP swung for the fences and didn't just settle for guys who didn't fit what we wanted in his DB's. They did whiff on Smith but it's hard to beat out Saban for DB's. It's not near as bad as you're making it out to be. I'll reserve judgement on our secondary after they get great coaching form our coach's

8th in the league and behind three teams in our division. We finished ahead of Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, Arkansas, Missouri, and a team that narrowly escaped the death penalty. Yikes. D+

Even Dooley had better class and he walked into a dumpster fire with less time to get it done. I don't remember a worse class than this in 30 years. F-

And with the way things are shaking up everywhere else in the conference, I'm not sure we win more than a couple of SEC games the next 3-4 years at this point, seriously.

This class is 2008 bad.

Figures, with Fulmer being back (I kid).

Ok so if they are young and not ready then wouldn't they by definition be classified as projects?

Converting safety talent may be an option. We clearly need help at corner and was a position of immediate need. We were able to address other positions of immediate need like DL and I'm not going to fault Pruitt for missing on two elite CB's from the West coast but I can in good conscience fault him for not having a back up plan. We are an injury or two away from having to start safeties at corner and that doesn't end well 99.9% of the time.

Against Pruitt was dealt a bad hand, he did ok holding it together. I'm not condemning him on this class. But I'm not going to pretend that he missed pretty badly on our number 2 or 3 position of need.

This is a bad class. It is what it is, and I know they did the best they could. Tennessee is a joke now..at least for now.

Grading the class BEFORE they play a couple of years is premature.

However, if you're voting for signed stars alone then just go look at the grades put out by 247, Rivals and the likes.

B-

We have 10 secondary players now plus Byrd moving so that's 11. We added a few today including a *4 and Flowers would have been a *4 if he Focused purely on football.8 of those 10 were a *4 or *5 in atleast one service plus Byrd was also,so that's 9 or our 11 scholarship secondary players. 10 of the 13 if you count the 2 we signed today. Wouldn't say that is bad at all. Definitely room to improve but not a bad situation either. OLine is probably the only huge issue we have. And even there it's more a lack of bodies and depth than no talent. We added a couple *4 OLine guys but definitely could have added atleast one more. Not getting Mays did hurt.QB we have no clue what we really have till they get real coaching. Could turn out pretty good or really bad.I really think we add at Grad Transfer QB and I'm sure they will keep an eye out for OLine help or anything else JP things could help.

We can have 100 DB's. It's NOT about quantity. We have very little QUALITY. UT needs difference makers. Maybe Byrd can be one.

After cooling down and realizing where our program is I voted B. With the shat show he inherited and the time constraints inherited with which to work he did a good job. I know we got trolled by a couple but I think we were actually in it for them till the end. Kids will be kids. Give him a full year and longer and we will be top ten year over year with possibility of top five. It’s a B for me. Not a solid B but a B none the less.

Could not disagree more. Very few take over a program where the administration has been in complete shambles and ridiculed on national television like this program was. It more than a toxic situation.

Can someone who know kindly answer this for me? If there is a 25 a scholly limit and we only sign 21, what happens to the other 4? Lose them, carry over or when is the last date we can use them? Thanks in advance as I'm sure it's been discussed before......
