We said with Dooley. We said it with Jones. We said it with Pruitt. I honestly believe that Heup can coach great talent to compete with elite talent. Having said that, you have to compete with the best in recruiting, to consistently compete at a championship level.

He is recruiting better than them but no one is going to believe we have gotten there until we actually are able to play with Georgia and not get beat by 2-3 TDs.

I think we could pull a 2019 LSU with the right team, but we need to temper expectations because we just aren't landing the best athletes in the field overall (we are getting them here and there like Nico or Mike Matthews and some of our lower stars could be diamond in the rough situations).

About where I'd expect with ground to potentially cover.

I hate that list...it feels like we are going gangbusters...and then you look at that list and see Bama, LSU and UGA blowing you off the field, and even the sorry A&Maggies, Awbarners and crap lousy Okies ahead of you ..🤦‍♂️

It is demoralizing if you think about it too much..so I usually never do and just go with "we get who we get"...until I see one of those stupid lists.

She is the one that has broadcast herself to the masses...you can't have it both ways, celebrity...especially of the kind she has thanks to herself, has it's downside...if you don't want that kind of attention...don't seek it, and sure as hell don't try to bank on it.

Seems like she has chosen to go all in to me.

Good for him, kind of surprised he's been such a journeyman. A career 16 ppg, 6 rpg, 2.5 apg with a steal a game too. Shoots 47.8% FG, 36.8% 3PT, and 83.5% FT but has already played with 5 different teams at just 31.

I can't believe somebody makes 26 million a year to play meh basketball...the numbers all these athletes makes now is just freaking ridiculous.

The Blue chip thing is so dumb during the transfer era, also Michigan barely makes it on the list

It is hard to not view it as legit with the way Tennessee has matched up against Georgia recently.

Tennessee still needs to pick it up in recruiting. We are often #6 or #7. You look at this list and teams like Florida, Auburn, Oklahoma, and LSU are still doing better as well in recruiting. We need to close the gap by picking up more 4 and 5 stars.

He takes into the Transfer Portal as well and cites it as a legit source and we are NOT even in the list when we include transfers.

Goes to show how ridiculously lucrative entertainment has become in our country, it's pretty absurd when you think about it. Things that actually matter are super undervalued these days.

Bruh is such a troll. He's posted the same thing over and over today, hoping some fool would finally engage. Don't be that guy. Thanks.

That was my first post unless you are talking about the Youtube analyst.

Don't get me wrong, Heupel is doing decent (especially considering recruiting sanctions) but we still have a lot of ground to make up.

Hawk Tuah ...just using that to gather attention for my question, which follows:

Is July 4th, with its tradition of family gatherings, a day that recruits frequently announce their commitment?

In a 12 team playoff winning 10 games is good enough to get in most years most likely, he has already proven he can do that
