    '14 JUCO WR Lavon Pearson (UT SIGNEE 12/18/13)

    Everyone seems to be writing off Peterman. He is a good QB. The truth is he never had a chance in that Fl game. The OL was baught in to their own hype. They failed him, he got hurt, and never got a chance to showcase his skills. The same could be said of all our QBs. Last year with the...

    New Rankings Formula - our recruiting class

    Recruiting classes are closer in talent than most think. If your short on bodies, you are better off signing 5x4* than you would be with 4x5*. I realize we have been taught that that is incorrect, based on probability it should be more successful. The more players you bring in the less...

    New Rankings Formula - our recruiting class

    Lolz .. ty. Its the simplest way, and doesn't allow for interpretation!!! The services evaluate the talent, then the evaluate how the talent is calculated. They do a fair job of evaluation of talent, but skew the class ratings to showcase the elite talent. IMO it should be calculated for...

    New Rankings Formula - our recruiting class

    Better way is to calculate the total # of stars for the entire class. That puts us @ 113 total stars, and in 1st place. It puts Bama and FSU in a tie for 2nd with 100 each. It measures total evaluated talent coming in.. Its the raw truth, and captures the whole picture. Not just the...

    '14 CA CB Adoree' Jackson (Signed with USC)

    Based on his fav player growing up getting a house from USCw ... Did he get a Plane ..? There was also that older pic of him stylin in that nice new car. Im not sure UT can afford the risk or the cost of this recruit. Even if he were still on the table. We got our class .. take either...

    Recruiting Forum: Football Talk X

    Calculated total number of stars for each school. Vols have 113 total stars, and is therefore the best. Bama and FSU both tie for 2nd @ 100 total stars. Yep, Vols pulled in more talent than every school. Numbers don't lie.

    Recruiting rankings thread

    Has anyone calculated total composite number of stars for each school. For instance, if you look at bama on rivals, they have 100 total stars. Bama 6x5* is 30* + 13x4* is 52* + 6x3* is 18. The total is 100 stars. FSU also has 100 total stars. 3x5* + 13x4* + 11x3* is 100 total stars. UT...

    Home page Rivals.com article on UT as biggest surprise of 2014 recruiting cycle

    In retrospect, we as fans tried to will the players to greatness in the Dooley Era. We beat ourselves up, trying to make every small difference we could. In the end we learned a hard lesson... the players have to will themselves to greatness. This recruiting class maybe a suprise to many...

    '15 NJ QB Brandon Wimbush

    Kid has all the measurables to really develop into a beast. He could be 6'4" 220 by the time he enrolls. Film looks solid, and is DT QB. Sounds like WRU doin work already in pulling QBs. Of the options we have on the board now, I like Wimbush, then Locke. I know Locke is not rated all...

    '14 CA CB Adoree' Jackson (Signed with USC)

    Tabor is already on campus @ FL as a CB. I gather its pretty even with UT and FL. I see the appeal for both. UT has the edge on coaches. FL has the edge on current roster. UT has more momentum. FL has better track program. UT is closer to parents. FL has a counterpart to him @ CB in...

    '15 LB FL Cecil Cherry (former Vol commit)

    Indeed, and I use those too. I just think it helps people read the post faster. Same principle as double spacing for type and printed material. If y'all don't like it I could do it properly. It just seemed appropriate to me to do it that way. I do use proper punctuation, and grammer. I...
