Rivals Top 250 for 2009

I'm not trying to polish a turd here but the fact of the matter is we signed a smaller class this year. If you bother to put aside sheer volume (we signed 500 2* players, we're #1!) the per player ranking of who we DID get would jump us ahead of Cal, BC, NC St, Neb, Ole Miss, K St, Ok St, MO, WA, IL & Auburn. We signed 32 players in '07 so the smaller class was absolutely expected. The other "weak" class in '06 (which was still top 25 mind you) has given us Lincoln, Vinson, Stocker, Fisher, Hancock, R Johnson, McClendon and Nelson. All of these players are either already starters, had playing time or have been mentioned as being legit on the depth chart.

The '09 class is pivotal. We have an entirely new offensive staff and I can't imagine there are going to be too many players commit on that side of the ball until they get some idea of what that staff will put on the field. Who could honestly blame them? Moreover, success (or lack thereof) on the field will go a long way to determining what recruits are going to think of the long term stability of the coaching staff as a whole, which brings in the D side of recruiting as well. In short, bunching up ones pantaloons in March over the '09 class just doesn't make sense to me.

From what it seems though is that USC is expected to load up again with this years class.

It wouldnt surprise me at all if Marlon Brown pulled a Patrick Turner and went out to USC.

I think that Patrick thought he would be a superstar at USC and it hasnt turned out that way. It still could, but so far it hasnt. You have to hope that Brown wants his family to see him play.

I would think growing up as a Vol fan and how close it is to his family will be the main reasons why he comes to UT.

Then why wouldnt Marlon,Patrick is a Senior this upcoming season and with 2 QB's who can throw the ball better than JDB he could have a great year.

Well after Turner,theres a void of the BIG WR for USC.

Im sure Pete Carroll is on his trails,hopefully UT can pull through but if I were him I would be very torn between both.

If he grew up a Vols fan then why hasnt he committed to us already.

I dont believe nearly anything out of a recruit's mouth until they sign the letter of intent,recruiting has become harder in the SEC with Urban Meyer's,Nick Saban's and Les Miles' around.

If he goes to Bama':hmm:

You're right. Heaven forbid a recruit take his time on where he wants to spend 3,4, or 5 years of his life.

never underestimate the power of a recruit wanting his parents/family to be able to attend games. Now that USC has been busted with Reggie Bush, they wont be able to pay for a kids parents to fly in for the games. That has to work in our favor with Brown.

Slick Rick thinks you shouldn't mention Slick Rick's name because mentioning Slick Rick's name will get you banned.

Dont try to speak reason to Hillbilly. Its completely pointless. Its obvious, right now in March, that our recruiting class is going to be horrible.

I just love to hear the optimism and positive thinking some of you spray from your keyboards. :crazy:

I too have a certain degree of optimism, In fact, I'm optimistically positive that you are a NEGAVOL to the bone, sir.

The person you are quoting is not a negavol, he was being somewhat sarcastic in reference to comments made by another poster, hillbilly. The latter carries many qualities associated with negavolism but I'll leave it up to you to peruse his posts and decide for yourself.
