CJP's first UT recruiting class missing on in-state talent

[85SugarVol]

I harped on this for a while and got torched by some "gurus" on here.But, I talked to a guy (not a call in show) who is a college football insider. He explained what CJP is looking for in HS players and what his philosophy is. I get what he is tying to do and trust CJP.

Aaaaaaand?

It's too long to type out. It has nothing to do with system or camping at UT.
Let's just say that team leaders and size are very important. A lot of the in state players assumed that UT would automatically wait on them because they were "blue chips" and would make them top priorities. One thing stuck out....not many "leaders" and questionable attitudes.

Just a little of what I was told.

Didn't Caleb say they are using their measurements as well? As in Wingspan, flexibility, etc. To include how their body functions as a whole like hips, burst speed, etc.?

And missed on some big ones.... Master Teague..... Tee Higgins to name a few.

True but in all fairness to Butch, he did pretty much dominate instate recruiting.

Tee, yes. But u really can't count Teague, since Butch was fired before both signing periods, although he was more or less an OSU lock, before the firing

Ok...Amari Rodgers...Cade Mays then.

 

[BigOrange15]

> missing.

 

[BigOrangeD]

Just get the Kids that Bama is after. We'll be good.

Cade Mayes was a Butch Jones commit , decommit when it became apparent Jones was getting fired.

 

[swampfoxfan]

We are recruiting kids in the top 1,000 as long as alabama or Georgia natives, very few that any other top school is after

 

[swampfoxfan]

He is saying swampfoxfan is d4h.

Hardly

 

[Sleegro]

He is saying swampfoxfan is d4h.

I'm pretty sure swampfoxfan is either barb or butch Jones. Or possibly one of their kids. Almost every post is a defense of butch.

Lol.

"Because of that, I think you've got a group of guys that they're guys that fit, and if anything, they will outplay their ranking as opposed to underperforming their ranking, which is sort of what we were used to seeing under Butch Jones."

All this trolling just to ignore the very last line of the article.

Ehh. Missing or passing?

We have a lot of in state talent this year. Deep class. Doubt we are passing on the majority of them

We are. This class isn’t very good. Vastly overrated. There’s a reason woodi committed to a school he’s never been to

Looks like someone isnt in the recruiting forum frequently... come on over and catch up before you spew this nonsense.

So kids signing with elite schools, who’ve visited our school, we had no interest in? Seems like an odd argument

Like I said, go back and read. It will all make sense. We only missed on Norton and Patterson. Maybe zion, depends on who you talk to. Everyone else was passed on.

They’ve been very clear about the ones we really wanted that CHOSE to go elsewhere: e,g., Norton, Hampton, Patterson.

There are other highly ranked prospects (by Rivals) that we certainly PASSED on that will still land at good schools: e.g., Woodi, Wilhoite, Anderson, Otey, etc.

Go after the best kids you can find, with gusto, irrespective of where they hail from. Supplement that with those diamonds in the rough, or hidden gems, found all over the country.
