That's the standard, if others do it it's OK?

So, if Kendall flips, it'll be because he lacks the character to compete?

I won't have any ill-will either way. I would hate to lose him but if he flips, he flips. It just bothers me that some want to persecute CBJ for being shady, lying, and having a lack of morals when in all actuality he's no different than any other coach. College football is a business first and foremost. Things happen...it is what it is. Nothing to get all bent out of shape about IMO.

Would it be top 5 after you remove Payne, Scott, Hendrix, Sawyers, Henderson, Wharton, Helm, and Paulk?

Will be interesting to see where it ends up in a couple years.

There wouldn't be a lot of change. There is an attrition study on TOS for all SEC teams in the last 10 years. No team had an attrition rate under 35%. Ours was 41% and included a 79% rate for Kiffin's class.

Yeah people counting Jancek as some big signee are just doing that for their stat argument. Kid is a walk on and will not be a legit factor with how we recruit. There had been talk that they hope he can grow into a TE but they may just keep him around as a backup QB to learn coaching ropes.

Will never forget that Charlie High debate lol headed by none other than LEB

If he flips it's because 3QBs in a class and then more offers going to QBs in the 2016 after the staff said he was "their guy" and him committing has him doubting what's been sold to him throughout the process. Imo any QB paying attention would be wise to be very cautious with how QB recruiting looks to be handled at UT.

I'd love to see Austin stick as I think he's the best QB in 2016. That said, I can fully understand how it all looks to him from an unbiased point of view. Sometimes looking at it without the Orange shades allows one to see more clearly.

A lot of QB's are the best athlete on their team and then when they get to college they switch to DB. Coach Majors did this to some of them when he was here. The number of QB's you sign does not mean that that is the number you will have to beat out at that position.

I'm so tired of top 5 recruiting classes. All I want is for no ones feelings to get hurt and just take the first guy to commit at every position. I don't want to have a successful program, I want something akin to college football's American Red Cross.

I don't want my coach to keep recruiting positions just to cover his ass in the case someone flips.

I ESPECIALLY don't want my coach to recruit like every coach since the onset of the Bear Bryant Rule.


But if I had to say if there was one thing I hate the most: it's the ability of some to think through these issues in a logical manner. **** logic and the low born horse it rode in on.

There's a difference in lying to and misleading recruits and continuing to recruit. Don't tell a guy he is the only one or one of two and then sign two more after it's too late for the first two guys to go to plan "B".

If you had the choice to sign with two teams and all things being equal except on misled or lied to you and the other didn't, which would you chose?

I'm just not buying that Butch and staff are being unethical. Dormady and Jennings were told they were going after Jones. Kendall may have been told he is the guy, and he may still be. I don't see anything wrong with offering more QBs after seeing time and time again kids flip at the last minute leaving teams high and dry. Just because we offer a QB doesn't mean he's a take. If Kendall stays with his commitment then I would bet he's it.

My family live in NC and my niece was friends with Riley's younger sister. At Christmas right before he signed, my brother told me that Riley would come in and start as a true freshman or he would be gone.

He was spot on.

You would have Dormady and Jennings competing with whom they were told they would be competing, Peterman and Dobbs. If Peterman subsequently transfers, you would then have three scholarship qb's with one verbally committed for 2016 so far. I can assure you they kept Jancek quiet as they knew he would be walking on long ago and didn't want to muddy the water with the recruits.

Whether it's right or wrong, it will eventually catch up to Jones and the Vols. If not, they wouldn't have put the PR spin machine in motion.

Yes, they were told but when it was too late for them to go to plan B.
