#4 class in the country and still #3 in the SEC East, hilarious.

hampdawgg · 12-01-2006, 04:57 PM

im sure people will complain about being #3 in the SEC

There is a good chance that we won't be #3 in the SEC when it's all said and done(ie, about 8-10 more studs from now).

why would they not? are we supposed to accept being 3rd in the SEC? Im sure Ole Miss, Miss St, Vandy, and SoCar would be happy to be 3rd in the SEC, but Im not. Im happy that we've rebounded from last year's debacle, but I wish we never had to rebound in the first place.

Griping about being 3rd in the SEC while being 4th in the nation in recruiting(especially this early) is "questionable" at best.

UGA-17 of 21 commits are either from Georgia or are coming out of prep/JUCO. We don't have that luxury.

UF-14 of 20 commits are either from Florida or are coming out of JUCO. Again, we don't have the luxury of recruiting so many instate.

I wholy believe that we will finish ahead of UGA and will finish in the top 5. I would say around 4 being behind USC, Texas(unless the loss of Chizik loses recruits), and very near UF(maybe even ahead).

Are you serious? You have lost touch with reality if that is the case.

Excellent Points.

"I've lost touch with reality." Give me a freakin' break. What you're saying is that it's ok to be 3rd or 4th in our OWN conference if we're top ten nationally. That's acceptable to you????? So, you're fine with playing second fiddle to UF and LSU and UGA? My coach used to always say that second place just means you're the first loser.

Yes, because there isn't much of a difference between 1st and 10th anyways when it comes to these, and make sure you read this part, PROJECTIONS. Besides HV broke it down pretty well for you with UGA and UF getting mostly in state guys.

This is a trip.

Fulmer can't recruit anymore, fire him.

Oh, so it's a top 4 class now, you say? It's not top 3! Fire him.

It's a top 1 class? Well, it doesn't matter, they won't get coached up. Fire him.

I love this place.

so we just lay down and quit because the state of Tennessee doesnt produce as much talent? heck, we cant even hold on to the talent we do produce.

bro, nobody's saying Fulmer cant recruit, he is very capable, can he coach them up? I say no and you are welcome to your opinion. The point Im really hoping you will understand is that Tennessee deserves more than 3rd or 4th or 5th in the SEC, period.

**tidwell** · 12-01-2006, 07:28 PM

They have the 4th rated recruiting class in the COUNTRY.

**tidwell** · 12-01-2006, 07:29 PM

Besides, it really doesn't mean anything. It's nice and cute to have a highly rated class, but what do the recruiting services know? They shouldn't rate a class until 4 years later when they've actually played.

i believe the saying goes, you can please some of the people all the time, but you can't please all of the people some of the time.
