Lol @ star ratings.

I evaluate these prospects myself. I could care less what rivals or 247 says.

According to my film review, we're looking at only 8 signees with the ability to become significant contributors from the 2016 class (significant contributor = starter).

Compare that to 10 in the 2014 class and a whopping 20 in the 2015 class.

So while not a complete disaster. 2016 is not good enough to be a championship class. It needs a class like 2015 that is significantly better alongside it.

So how do you get actual game film to evaluate prospects? Highlights are for scrubs, as I'm sure you know.

I'm sure HS coaches are more than willing to share their game tape with an amateur scout :crazy:

Who didn't think D4H was a troll from the beginning? There has been absolutely no subtlety to his jig. Very obvious trolling from the beginning, and some of you goobers ate it up.

This.

You can tell it is the boring silly season on here with posters actually quoting him when he should have been on Ignore by everybody in the RF. He might fit in well in the FF.

On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the worst in your opinion how bad is the lawsuit hurting recruiting?

How realistic to think we can get ALL of
Higgins
Smith
Akers OR Chandler
Gibbs

"I could see them ending up with those four guys. I don't know if it will happen, but I think it's realistic."

Gibbs and Higgins are locks. I like Hayden at RB more than those 2. And Trey Smith is a bright young man. If we perform well on the field this year, I think he's in.

This is just a taste of what teams are doing to control the media. I have heard reports of cbj being much more controlling than this


@TyDunne: Here are two excerpts from the Bills' new media policy. https://t.co/m7vgFi92Yd

I wish our media was more sheepy. Seems like Bama and Georgia have lapdog media members while we have John Adams and that crazy liberal from the Tennessean. Not to mention our resident goon Wes Rucker. I like Patrick Brown but even he has to go out of his way to tell you that he "isn't a fan of the team he covers" as if it is impossible to be objective about a team otherwise.

Hubbs and Volquest provide the best recruiting coverage but also cover UT football in general the best.

Slamming the program every chance you get isn't objective reporting. It is click bait and headline grabbing bull crap.

Sorry for the mini rant. Can't stand the majority of Knoxville sports media.
