Look guys y’all are still stuck in this NCAA way of thinking this is highest bidder and take care of my family future type of recruiting.. These type of schools are playing chess while Tennessee still playing checkers
Why? Anyone that actually believed a 5 star #1 overall player type would pick UT this year is lying to themselves. This was always a looooong shot not matter where he moved or what the “insiders” hear and say.Not a class breaker but this is a big blow any way you shake it. Hopefully we can flip.
We hit in the juco ranks and portal, this cycle can still be a major success, even with a class that doesn't crack the top 25 to 30. Juco and portal is where this cycle should be measured. We land another Byron Young or two from the juco ranks, and then go out and hit in the portal, like we have the last couple of years, I'll be extremely happy...even if our high school class is not that highly regarded.Sad thing is Y1 is usually the "new HC bump" period. Pruitt's mess made absolutely sure that wasn't possible. Literally the same advantage every other UT HC has gotten selling a rebuild...Hype won't ever get because of that jackass Bammer.
Hype is going to have to do it the hard way...the really really hard way. Not saying it's impossible, but it sure stinks. Just hope we can finish out with 6-8 wins and the 2022 class sees the light and can build relationships.
He wasn’t coming here no matter who we hiredHow in the hell do you let the number1 player coming outta high school in the state get away from you? i wished they would've never hired Heupel and this staff...no excuses for that type of **** to happen and then he was going to school at Knoxville Powell....i mean really? But you people keep thinking that Heupel and that staff can turn that program around.....pfffffff
