I certainly understand why folks are upset...it's hard to get excited about a recruiting class that sees one of your best prospects who's been committed supposedly for a long time suddenlty sign with Auburn. It's also tough to see several others who we had legitimate shots at go to LSU, FSU, Auburn etc....
And pointing to CPF and his recruiting skills as a + all this time, and suddenly finish the recruiting season with a gurgle insetad of the bang we are used to, well i can see why people are immediatley angry and look at this as justification for the way they feel about the CPF situation.
But, in the interest of playing :naughty: advocate, well, comparing Ed Orgeron to CPF is, well, useless. I won't argue that THIS YEAR, Ed may have outdone our boy. But please don't start saying that Ed O is a better this or that...he really hasn't done anything yet. it's not like they had a top 5 class or anything....
also, it was only two years ago, right before last season's #1 class in the nation, that we had a #18 class....
let's worry about who we have coming back and whether or not these guys can be coached up to get us back to where we are. I'm not worried about the ones we didn't get. I'm more concerned about the ones we have and currently got.
So, i defnitely understand where you are coming from, if your upset etc....and there is plenty of evidence there to support your reasoning, but try to keep in mind that it's not like we didn't get some talent. It's not like we don't already have some here....let's see what happens in the next season, and the next....that's when we'll be able to go back and say whether or not we did good or bad.
Go Vols. Welcome all the new Vols to Big Orange Nation!
