I've said that a couple of times, but he hasn't responded to my comment.

Never thought about the pace, but I'm posting faster than Rex.

That thought should slow me down for a while.

Thanks just trying to get some info on him.His talent speaks
for itself.I think the rating system is a bit over rated.Most 5 stars are combine workout wonders.Doesn't always translate to out on the field.IMO I think Tenn.needs to get back to the basics of panning for talent that borders Tennessee.These kids at least know about the program.And possibly could love the orange instead of looking at just the opportunity to go to the NFL.Don't get me wrong I know we have to go outside of our state.I just think that the borders should be more closed in.Though Tenn. has been very successful with national talent.To love the orange means everything IMO

This not an attempt to get UT to offer.Just to let the fans know about this homegrown talented athlete.

I hate the rating system.

I don't mind the dad giving updates at all either, it's the best way to get accurate information on offers. If the kid can play at the SEC/high Division I level, offer him and get him up here no matter his high school class. It didn't hurt one linebacker from little ole Bruceton, Tennessee.

It does appear that Phil is at least trying to lock the state down.
