I pointed out his lack of offers, not his star rating or what some analyst said about him.

Hope this kid makes the class and is an all-American for us. But competing with Arkansas State for WRs is not going to get us back to the top.

Heupel's first offense put up some of the highest numbers UT has ever had. His choice of WRs meeting your or anyone else's expectations has next to zero to do with whether we get back to the top. Defense, perhaps, but not this.

He only recruited one of those WRs. Payton.

Wasn't even the point. He's built successful offenses everywhere he's been. Clearly he knows what he wants in a player, and since his offensive performance is better than 95%, his opinion is the only one that matters.

You only say that because you know my point is valid. Lmao

Your point was to discredit the kid because he has few offers, and to discredit Heupel because he's recruiting kids who don't meet your standard. I think your point is as ridiculous as you are, so no.

I’m sure competing with Arkansas State for WRs is where we need to be as a program!

TurnuptheVOLtage wants to let the kid go and risk missing the top 100 brother next year. That's fine, others understand this move is for the brother and if this kid makes a splash that's icing on the cake. It's not like there won't be 9 other receivers in the room every year so stop debating this.

Cedric Tillman had offers from powerhouses like Weber State, and had a composite rank of 0.8255. He's been pretty solid for us. Again, if CJH wants him, I don't care what his ranking is. When CJH's offenses don't perform, then we can worry about ranking.

Of course you really don't care about context, only about demeaning and complaining. Cause that's what Turnips do.

I think you are being generous about Turnip's intent.

I fully believe this staff can develop players at every position on the field. If there’s an ounce of talent in a player then they will get it out of them as long as the player is willing to put in the work. I’ve never felt this way with any other staff we’ve had in the last 15 years.

While I appreciate your decision to go positive, that particular poster has a well established history that conflicts with your assessment.

Still my friend, I've been argumentative my whole life and I'm choosing to give the benefit of the doubt rather than engage into why I think he's being a twat. Telling him he's wrong only makes stubborn people dig their heels in to prove their point (I would know). Just disagreeing without attacking his position is easier.

Perhaps, but allowing people to take a crap on our players and coaches can be destructive. Recruits and families read these boards, and yes, comments do matter. We cannot stop stupid people from posting stupid things, but we can confront it for what it is.

That's your prerogative. These players will be scrutinized and fans for every team do the same thing. Especially in the SEC, personally I have better things to do than argue pointlessly.

Tennessee takes Nathan to land brother next year.
Tennessee does not land said brother.

"This is the (Tennessee) way"

I doubt recruits waste their time on these boards

I’m fine with a project here and there, especially if he has upside and can get his brother (top 100 player). Just can’t recruit too many. You can’t rely on finding a Tillman every year.

My first caution flag of this staff is promoting Pope to WR coach vs hiring a proven commodity. WR should be an easy position to fill for us and we can’t afford any risk at this point in the program. Swain said they talked to David Johnson and he wants to come here so o sure hope it wasn’t due to money. He said this smells of a UCF hire so he’s concerned as well.

It can always work out and I hope it does. I just don’t understand taking a risk at this point.

We already have a 4 star visiting who we never heard of before visiting, so I say he'll be as good or better than kodi
