Raleigh's Future?

We'll be a very talented team in the near future. Well, we're talented now but just raw. If Raleigh can't do anything in the next 2-3 years he should be in very hot water. I'm not calling for his head or anything and I'm saying give him 3 years to prove something but these losses to little OOC teams is weak.

I think your assesment of Tennessee's current talent is somewhat off as well. They might have some individual stars but as far as depth goes I don't see much happening there.

Let him get a roster full of "Raleigh" style players then see what he does.

I agree with that. That's why I said give him at least 3 years to prove something. He's already recruiting big players but we'll see what he does with them.

Ouch... way too early for a Raleigh firing thread... even if you claim it's 2-3 years down the line.

especially since it's going to be 2-3 years before you even can start to see a significance difference. Raleigh should have a shelf life of 5 years minimum before this is even discussed.

Wow, it's been 9 months since he was hired and UT is doing better than expectations, and Raleigh should already watch himself.

Little premature

I'm not sure what his status is, but Hochevar's little brother was signed last year and had to have surgery before fall practice. That's another arm with a pedigree.
