Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

Since discussion here today is all over the place: What are some good sites to shop for Vol gear that isn't...

• Vol Shop
• Volunteer Traditions
• Fanatics

Need something for the wife. She's particularly fond of anything with Smokey on it.

Don’t tell that to Kyle or shy.

New schemes are quite a bit harder for LBs and DBs than Dlinemen...

I'm a big fan of Alumni Hall. Good selection of officially licensed merch, alongside lots of cool retro/vintage gear as well.

I think it is very clear that Pruitt is going to have to upgrade our recruiting staff. We can't be struggling to land prospects over KY, Ole Miss, and SC. We have some guys that just aren't getting it done on the trail.

Hopefully we don't lose coaching ability by focusing on recruiting. But we need more talent.

Wish Nieds had a twin.

It's still early and we don't know who all is in play. Patience.

No lol. 4-3 and 3-4 are totally different positions along the DL.

Expecting/hearing 3-5 changes.

If it's true that the weakest is Tee, that's a delicate situation

Truly turning into an international basketball team...Barnes not afraid to do some globetrotting...

I hate the perception that everyone that Butch recruited on defense can't play. It is a huge injustice for Kyle and Shy and also players like Emmanuel Moseley who clearly are great players and who gave their all for Tennessee under some very difficult circumstances without a lot of developmental coaching.

Alumni Hall is pricey, but has high quality stuff.

Does not make your point any more valid, though.

I still think we have to let this year play out. It does not look great right now, though, for sure.

Upgrade from dial up?

Tee is in no way shape or form the weakest on our staff. You don’t want to lose him.

That's like half the staff...

I don't know if I can get behind that. Not a fan of so much turnover in these first 2 years.

Guess we needed more than 2.

Butch recruited very good athletes and players. The problem was they didn’t always fit what we were doing here so. Take kongbo for example. He would’ve been far more productive as a 3-4 base OLB over a 4-3 end. It can go the other way too. If Barnett played in Pruitts defense he wouldn’t have been as productive. He’s strictly a dip and rip 4-3 end.

I remember saying before pruitts first year here that everyone freaks out about the transition in year one to a 3-4 bc or sunseri but our holdover roster was actually better suited for a 3-4 than what they were recruited for.

Wow. More than I would have thought...guessing Sherrer, Johnson, Friend...who else? Agree that T is a very sensitive decision.

Bass said recruiter by results to present. And mine was a n explicitly hypothetical statement. I think it upped the ante. I think the WRs are noticeably better and better rotated since Tee moved to the sidelines, snd I've said so twice before this.
