| How will last night's game effect recruiting?
I know there were a ton of recruits there for the game last night and us hanging 50 on them and having very supportive fans won't hurt. Who knows, this could be the game that Eric Berry makes his choice from

| both teams are major players for berry and things are gonna look good for us. these high schoolers change their minds so much. one good year and they gush over you, one bad year and they all shun you. now that we're back to being where we should be, they'll all wanna come. |

| I hope that is true. By looking at our commits it doesn't seem to be the case. We have got to get some big time D-Linemen. The way Georgia, Air Force, and Flordia ran the ball. It is easy to spot that the D-Line is our weakest position on the field. | |

| the kind of offense we are playing right now, and the way the skill position guys are being allowed to make plays is going to be attractive to these guys...and beating UGA never hurts when we have guys on the fence....we've won 2 of the last three against 'em, both in Athens....

| Speak to me of Eric Berry. I have't heard about him. Is he a QB?
We're gonna need to recruit another good one this year. | |

| Berry is a Percy Harvin type of player. You could put him at WR, RB, DB, or maybe even QB and get production. It doesn't seem that he's hung up on playing QB somewhere. | |

| This kind of game can help but it probably is a game that divides.
If Berry or any of the other recruits were let down by the result then they're Dawgs. If they were impressed and happy, they're Vols.
With that kind of emotion, I don't know how anyone could come away ambivalent. | |

Probably 3rd string CB. But he's also a guy you could put at WR or line up at QB in the shotgun and just let him use his raw talent to get some yards. He kindda reminds me of a Terry Fair like type of player.

| Success breeds success. The more we win, the more we get national tv coverage on ESPN and CBS. Thats your best recruiting advertising. | |
