Not sure what is going on with recruiting but Butch needs to get his act together in recruiting FAST! Has he not figured out that cutting players is playing against him with the other schools??

I know he got some bad press and it went viral when the Hart kid in Memphis was cut unofficially from a year ago.

I want be surprised if we continue to lose in-state kids.

Now that is how you come out of the gate swinging on your first post. Similar to this dudes first attempt at using the diving board:

Nice try Leb. Whichever angle we see it from, same result.

Has anyone else started to suspect that TonyB is a second account for CrunchyLeb; that CrunchLeb and TonyB are alternate accounts for D4H; and EastSide is their friend?

I got a post removed right off the bat for saying basically the same thing yesterday, right after winn...I mean crunchyleb...posted that abomination of a double troll attempt. He's making up playmates again since 90% of the board ignored his stupid butt.

Negative. Good story though.

Leb is all of them... lebanonvol preceded them all. He has to make up playmates, nobody else will play along with him except for good hearted newbies and Vol30

I would agree there is a major problem. We only have a commit from 1 of 12 of the top prospects in state. Too many good players are leaving. I know Thig had some problems in middle TN with some of his comments. Was hoping that Shoop would help smooth over some of those issues.

Every program has kids on the bubble that lose their spot if a better player commits. That would be one advantage to an early signing date.

I've recently been in an argument with others about the necessity to keep more instate players.... I believe it can be fixed once the underlying reasons are discovered.

The reason you cite may have some impact.... but it is simply impossible to change under the current rules. You can't hold an offer to a kid that will never contribute except on the scout team when a top tier prospect wants to commit. No one does it... not even low end programs like Memphis or UK.

The difference I see is most schools don't take 20 commitments in June and July hoping to attract better talent later so they can dump a bunch of the early commitments. It's like they are asking for negative publicity. I'm fine with filling a class up early. Texas use to do it every year. But if you do it, you need to know you're filling up with kids you're signing.

Depends on the communication with the kid.

And I would look for 5 or less of the current commits to be dropped. Some will be by their own choice.

It is conditional on both sides until the ink is dry.

Even among the 3* guys, some will look at the situation and decide a different school provides them with a better opportunity. UT's coaches may have to nudge some that way.

On rare occasion, the coaches have to pull an offer or make it clear that the recruit is no longer wanted.

Most of this is very subtle stuff.

I do feel that's why our commits recruiting for us like in past years seems to have disappeared this cycle. They aren't even sure they will get to sign. Why help recruit if you're not sure they even take you on NSD? If I'm a kid like Burnam why help recruit say a LB on the coaches "wish list" when if I help secure his commitment, it may push me out.

I'd say that's much too simplistic.

It is more likely this class simply doesn't have on of those "guys". There aren't many in any given class that really work hard to sell a school to the point of getting noticed. Most will communicate with other recruits.

Well guys, the RF has officially gone to the dumps. Look at all the trash that's been migrating in from over the borders.

Make me a mod and I'll build a YUGE firewall to keep these undesirables out AND I'll make these guys pay for it.

I guess I'm in the minority but generally leb... err... crunch... can get repetitive but the guy believes what he says and I don't think he's deliberately trying to be negative. He's just calling it like he sees it regardless of what anyone else thinks.
