Tennessee (Florida/Georgia) Volunteers

In Fla, We signed 4 of the top 100 Sunshine state's players:
#15 Curt maggitt
#23 Marlin Lane
#70 Tom Smith
#76 Marcus jackson

(and thats without mentioning jordan Williams and T. Saulsbery)

In Ga, We signed 7 out of their top 100 players:


#12 AJ johnson
#17 Justin coleman
#29 Brian randolph
#37 Vincent dallas
#42 Alan posey
#72 G Orta
#90 Christian harris


a tidbit about Florida,

there were 338 players who signed D-1 scholarships signed Wednesday, 199 signed with BCS Teams.


we just picked up on some incredible talent out of two of the best talent producing states in the country.

This is exactly why I pull for UT except for when they play us. We know about most of these kids around 10th grade and some of them move on to UT, nothing wrong with that IMO. I don't stop following them just because they end up at UT.

Good luck with this next recruiting year.

Dooley sited the challenge of having to recruit more widely than others as part of what makes the experience of joining together as a team unique and memorable on the Hill. I think there is something to this. I think the geographical distribution of this class is fascinating. There is a plan.

I could care less what some of the laptop analysts on here, who piss and moan everything Dooley, think of this class..

I'd be more interested in the opinions of say.. Saban, Meyer and some of the other elite coaches around college football.. Pretty sure they would say Dooley did VERY well...

edit: Hey, wasn't I supposed to get a prize or something for 1500 posts? Freak?

It used to be that way. Same could be said of South Carolina. Problem is that while we still get many great players from those states, Richt and the OBC have made recruiting the top talent ALOT more difficult.

I have always believed that the UT job has to be one of the hardest jobs in the country. You compete in the toughest conference in the nation and your state does not produce enough SEC-calibre talent. Its very hard to pull blue chip prospects from your neighboring states.

Dooley has done a great job closing this year, especially in Florida.

Uhhh, huhhh....... I mean we never get any talent out of the state like Berry, Lewis, etc, etc, etc. . . . . Georgia high school system = Tennessee's minor leagues.
