Speaks for itself, indeed! This is two years in a row I've gotten to say this on NSD. I've been keeping up with several threads all day long, and never once saw the words, "diamond in the rough" like I read on here every year of Dooley's tenure. I'm so glad to have another recruiting class that speaks for itself!

Agreed!! Our diamonds in the rough are walkons or blue shirts, as it should be at any big time program

This morning on doc Jeff and heather, a caller asked about Micah abernathy's brother and his weight...

After many ugh... Ummm.. Wellllss.. Heather sarcastically says, Well I don't understand why we would care about that...

Until the caller fills her in on him being a transfer to UT...

Then they bash his weight and somebody says, well wasn't there a small skill player from Florida that killed UT? Somebody says something james....

Heather says, I think there was a Brandon James, but he was a linebacker...

That show (especially heather and Mickey) is a joke..

These ppl talk UT sports for a living every day and are still clueless... Heather gets off on talking about guys flirting with her when she played volleyball for UT....

Never work IMO. He would be so caught up with the angle, wind resistance, velocity, and other measurables in diagnosing the play, the ball carrier would already be by him. Jmo

Which is actually enough time for him to create a rocket to launch and knock the ball out of the air

After crunching the recruiting numbers, I wanted to give you guys a cursory look at what adding another top 5 class does to the talent based predictions for 2015. Understand that averaging four years of rival classes yields a prediction rate approaching 70% in general and over 80% for UT under Jones. These numbers do not reflect Jones' "coach effect" which is positive overall but negative at UT.

1) this will be the most talented UT team to take the field since 2005, and about the 13th most talented team in the nation.

2) UT gained ground on downward trending UGA and UF, but didn't overtake either.

3) UT is now more talented than Oklahoma.

4) Texas A&M actually jumped UT in these talent averages pushing the Vols back a spot overall in the SEC.

5) Another top 5 class next year could likely jump Tennessee back on top of the SEC east and potentially top 3 in SEC and top 5 nationally. There are currently 2 classes in Tenn's average that were right around 20, bringing the average down. Those need to be flushed before we see big jumps in these numbers.

6) looking at each of the Vols 2015 regular season opponents ranked by talent averages would indicate a record of 9-3 (5-3 SEC). Adjusted for uncertainty puts the over/under at about 7.5 games (4.5 SEC).

I'll clean this up and write more later, with some visual aides.

Ive also been working on a formula to determine 2015's likely outcome. So far the best one i have is B+T=W's. Its quite complex though so ive included a visual aid of my own so as to not confuse anyone. Thoughts?

That variable B could actually be the vast majority of coaches not named Dooley, Kiffin, Muschamp, Chizik, etc.

Signing day video of Austin Smith and Quay Picou.

Btw, under the video is a link to their State Title game. From what I saw Picou had a sack, several tackles, and a fumble recovery for a touchdown, Smith had a forced fumble as well. Chuck Smith is on the broadcast of it.

I'll be ok with 8 wins. As long as one is Florida. I think we finally get Georgia.Florida is a loss until I see the win.

2015 we can beat anyone, depending on if OL has progressed, Dobbs health, and certain curses against a certain team. So tired of finding ways to lose to Georgia and Florida. Maybe we make it over the hump. Gonna be a good year regardless go vols

I have been in the 8 win minimum camp for a while now. We also need another bowl win as well for 9 total. I want to see 2 game improvements until we are at 10 regular season wins a year. Below are the must wins to me. From doing this however there is no reason we cannot get to 9 by simply playing up to our talent and beating either OK, UF, or UGA. I won't lie if we lose to UF again I'll have doubts Butch will ever beat them. I realize Daj says UGA and UF still have more talent but this will be one of the lowest tides for UF. Also he stated we have more talent than OK so there is 9 setting UF hatred aside.

We have to end some of these losing streaks. If we can beat Florida and Georgia, recruiting will be so much easier. We would start some streaks of our own
