If we're recruiting at this level and we've been in total suckdom for 4 years, it's exciting to imagine the recruits we'll bring in when we're a perennial 9-11 win team.

This. Imagine recruiting when butch has proven he can win

There's a lot of haters commenting on that article. GoVols!

But with Tennessee, Ole Miss and even Kentucky putting together highly-ranked recruiting classes and Mizzou winning a dozen games last season, the SEC is getting awfully strong beneath its upper echelon.

This really gets to me. I remember when we were "upper echelon."

In a 9 or 11 win season, recruiting will likely be down. Right now, we have the advantage of selling " Early Playing Time" In later years, we will not be able to sell the idea of "Early Playing Time"

We will at some point, be like " O'Bama" and have 5* as a starter and a 4* as the back up and no possibility of early playing time to offer an Freshmen or any JUCO's.

Recruits believe, current players believe, coaches believe.

Man the butthurt is strong over there

 

[Catbone]

Going to have to get to a bowl game to keep up this recruiting IMO

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Been saying since day 1 that Butch can & WILL recruit here! The future is promising for the first time in awhile if fans will actually give him the time to turn it back around.

I agree mostly. Butch can recruit no matter what, but we really need to have something to build on to keep this going.

The comments on that article gave me cancer

Most of the people commenting on there sound like they've never followed recruiting in their life.

Keep in mind that the average college football fan understands about 1/10th what somebody (like us) does. We are people who obsess about it.

Let me say just a few things. First , I have a very good friend that attended his first Tennessee football game in 1940 in Nashville Tenn. I have been watching Tennessee Football since about 1960. So, I have lots of experience and insight on the program. Personally, I am more optimistic right now than I have been in many many years. Loved when I first heard that Butch Jones was hired. Even more convinced to this day that he is still the man for the job !!! He knows that Tenn is a special place for special people. Go Big Orange !!! It is time to prove it on the field !!!

And yet Bama still has the #1 class, and has for idk 4 years in a row?

I think you're wrong friend, at least on this point.^^ Recruiting should only rise as we win more, as recruits obviously like Jones & the staff and will be naturally attracted to a winning environment that preps players for the NFL (see Bama).

 

[Volador]

My guesstimate for our recruiting bonanza is 70% CBJ & staff and 30% that we have immediate job openings in multiple positions.

1/10th of what we know is like, uh, not much.

 

[Volfan2012]

I'm looking at this class and think about half of them will be in the two deep. Just looking at the offense I see Hurd, Scott, Malone, Pearson, Helm, and Blair getting a lot of playing time.

Defense see seven or eight guys there. This class is our Immediate future to winning and losing. They will contribute immediately.
We'll see some older recruits leave during the summer or after the spring we'll be able to get another big class next year as well.

I think it's so funny that people will still ***** about what TN is doing. I guess they see the writing on the wall that TN is coming back. I love it! Go Vols

Saw this on Facebook. A guy took the pic at a navy exchange.

Actually, one of the guys on Duck Dynasty graduated from UT. Not one of the family members, but one of the crew.
