He hasn't always been like that, but recently, he has become more of a troll poster.

Judging by Kiffin recent comments I’d say he was outbid by Texas AM which isn’t a suprise considering a certain group is wanting to continue their ties and expansion in that area which is why TCU was being fed players.

Are you inferring NPA? I have never kept up with the de1 drama, so forgive me ignorance.

Yes they hooked TCU up with Evans, McAlister and the OT from Memphis. Barion Brown final 3 were Bama, KY, TCU before picking KY the other school deepthroating them. Look at who all Callahan listed as players TN had trouble getting on campus from 2022 class. all NPA kids…maybe things are smoothing out over course of the year once they saw this staff can coach and out kids in position to succeed but they were being gatekeepers early on when it really mattered with this class. He will say it’s nonsense because they have sent players here in past but you can’t hide actions and the multiple dots out there easily connected.

Thanks for the rundown. I don’t follow recruiting like I used to, this is one reason why. Ugh.

Y'all let that dude get yall all riled up for nothing. It's no disrespect to him or anything, but y'all give him way more credit than he deserves. He doesn't control where recruits go, all he does is give his opinion. Take it for what it is, just an opinion and his pov. Agree...disagree....whatever, it doesn't hold any real weight or matter

All of this! It’s way too easy to connect the dots. It astounds me that Buck is the head of this, being a former Vol, and astounds me even more as to why in the world you would push kids to Kentucky and TCU! All the schools out there that would make sense, and you are pushing kids to UK and TCU. Maybe those are the only schools willing to play ball the way they want to do it.

He claims that he does have influence with recruits.... and he doesn't have to be a jackazz about everything. I seldom say anything to him or about him. He claims to be a UT fan but appears to steer good players away from UT.

Someone suggested that he really liked Pruitt. Maybe he was on the take too and is hacked off about losing his bonus cash? I really don't know. But he consistently comes off as someone with a vendetta against UT. People are questioning why other programs do better winning their best talent. If you have guys undermining your instate efforts as this guy appears to be doing... it doesn't help.

Totally agree--- I sure hope Buck doesn't consider himself a VFL, because all that guy clearly cares about is $$$$

I keep hearing this narrative that NPA has "black balled" UT. Is there any actual evidence of this?

Personally, if true, black balling a major university seems like a sure fire way to sabotage your business...

Let's see how @de1conley answers and justifies this... Especially with No NPA 2022 class kids gave TN a chance ... They sent kids to freakin KY!? I mean, WTF?
