Football Update On Visitors

Gabe Wright made it in according to TOS.Thats wonderful news.I had seen an interview this week that said he was wanting to come but had some other things come up.Now Chuck Smith needs to work a little magic today because i think he really likes the Vols.I saw in that interview that he was playing dynasty on NCAA 10 as the VOLS.He also brought a couple of his teammates from Carver - Columbus.No he didnt bring Isaiah Crowell.One is Quincy Mckinney an OL who holds an offer from us and some other top schools.It would be awesome to come out of today with a commitment or two.

The Dooley crew is not like the kif camp. They don't go down the list of Rivals top 100 or ESPN 150 and offer every player. I'm sure they want to actually evaluate him and see if he fits the onfield and off field mold there looking for.

agree but when it comes down to the big uglys, we need them highly rated guys that show this much intrest in tenn. you know they gotta be pretty good when the got got offers from alabama, florida state, auburn, etc

I've got a good feeling about Wright. He's been stated that his relationship with CS is awesome. His last visit here went great and it's pretty public. He's mentioned how he's playing dynasty on NCAA '10 as us. Also the other day when asked about coming here, etc. he said that his coach was making him go to a "stupid" Auburn camp but really wanted to come here. That attitude alone tells me that he feels more attraction to us than other schools. The future looks bright with us and Wright I think.

IMO, that's not the best way to tell if they are good or not. There have been a few instances where a player receives an offer from us THEN they get an offer from bama or uf. It's all about finding the player that fits our system the best.

And, good thing too b/c we wouldn't want to have consistent top 3 or 4 classes according to Rivals. Those teams never do anything nationally.

Exactly what I was about to say. You save me a few button presses.

Rivals is wrong we have offered him.Imo if we dont offer a dl of his caliber its time to give it up.Scout shows he does have an offer in hand from us.

Class rankings aren't everything.

I believe the recruits pay more attention to winning or losing, and preparation for the next level than just where the top recruits are going. Just my oppinion.

This is probably the dumbest thing I've read. You do realize there were several guys that were unrated for a while that we had offered and had commitments from that ended up being 4 stars when they were here right?...Actually you didn't know that. You proved that when you typed that crappy post.
