Call me crazy but I'm gonna go with the coach who's been doing this for twenty years with two consensus top 10 classes over some message board posters.

Right. So how can we recruit and sell being elite when 9-4 is the best we've done so far?

Because we are going to be the media darlings and in the top 10.

My apologies on the Branisel post today. I was mistakenly posting about helm.

I wouldn't call Branisel as success at all because he did play Because of the roster like you said. Not sure he could be called a real bust either since his career was cut short with injuries and other issues

I'm way late to this party. But it's my opinion, on strictly science alone, that your sample size is only 3 years. That's way too small. The next 3 could absolutely flip flop the other way destroying your whole theory.

The next 3 years might very well be different I agree but it's good to see people starting to see that the proof is there so far for having patience in recruiting fringy recruits

And that's not even taking into account we are now hearing other recruits mentioning that cutting these kids loose is making them have second thoughts about the vols

4-Star OL Erik Swenson Tweets Decommitment from Michigan | Bleacher Report

Guy has been committed since 2013 and Hardouche pulled his scholly this close to NSD. Is this going to hurt UM's class? Highly doubtful. I am not saying its right or wrong. Its just the way it is.

Every team does it. Its how you build championship rosters. When a better player comes along, you take them. Why some cannot grasp this baffles me.

I am fine with it happening on occasion but my impression is our staff does it much more than the rest. Would love to know the truth on that


This thread wasn't about that anyway. It's about this staffs ability to find the under that radar lower ranked recruits, when we accept their commitments, and how successful they are when they get to campus

Michigan boards saying he was a Hoke commitment and he's known for a very long time Harbaugh was not honoring those. I'm not buying it.

Not surprised. It doesn't fit your agenda. Keep on believing that doing this type of thing will hurt the program. Like I said, you are living in imagination land.

It might hurt. It might not. I think we'll know soon enough. There are a lot of kids in TN I believe the staff would like to sign in 2017.

In the short term there was talk it may have contributed to Woods hesitation with his commitment. We'll see.
