'17' TN ATH Tee Higgins (Clemson commit)

All big time programs offer some french benefits. But some take it to another level.

This 2017 dream class is off to a rough start. I may be wrong but I can't think one elite TN prospect that we have the inside edge on.

Didn't the same thing get said about Hurd and Malone in 2014? How about Phillips and Richmond in 2015?

Kids just love the attention. I have faith in Butch Jones closing on instate recruits.

Have we lost a top 100 instate prospect while Butch has been here? I don't think so.

I hate to bring bad news guys but here goes. Did some digging with my guy and asked what happened between Monday when I was told he was 100 percent committed to us and now. On his visit he talked with Amari Rogers and they are wanting to go to the same school and play together and that Clemson made him an offer he can't refuse. Not sure what that means. Next time I talk with him I'm gonna get him to elaborate a little on that but if NSD was today he would be headed to Clemson. This is all I know at this moment just passing along what I've heard. Whenever I hear more I'll be sure to pass it along.

This reads too much like other things that have been posted here to be taken seriously. Sources always go unnamed. The bad news always involves an "offer" and the closer you get to NSD, so called package deals never seem to come to fruition.

The real development with Higgins will be how serious he is about playing basketball and the interest he has from the elite programs. Ohio St, Michigan St, Michigan would probably more attractive than either Tenn or Clemson.
 
I know it's hard to read kids, but honestly I would be surprised if he comes here. He just never appeared that interested in UT for whatever reason.

Yeah, funny how that 5 month long commitment really threw some people off... Give me a break.

Clemson is the flavor of the month for him right now... just as Oregon was in the summer. His commitment to basketball is all that concerns me. I don't think he ends up at Clemson.

It seemed that Warrior was in a wait-and-see mode this year, and the situation with Tee Higgins may be no different. He and Rogers have got a team that just played for the national championship in their ears right now. If we live up to expectations this year, it would go a long way toward improving UT's chances with Higgins and maybe even Rogers too. Relationships and $ are important, but nothing really recruits like winning.

Team isn't the problem and Dobbs isn't the problem. Our lack of creativity to get playmakers at WR the ball is the problem. There's a reason Debord was visiting Clemson as soon as the season was over. He was there learning new passing concepts. We were extremely bland in the passing game and it's from play design not any personnel.

Not disagreeing with your entire premise but when you are pitching a ball 10 yds to a fairly open receiver, and you over/under throw by 2-3 yds, that's not all on scheme.

I think we still are the favorite, calm down. And Butch will land at least 4 of the top 8.

Dillon Mitchell in 2016 class & Alex Bars in 2014 class. And even though he had only been on the job a few months, Butch Jones was UT's HC when UT lost Jalen Ramsey & Frank Herron in the 2013 class
 
We must be watching two different games. Cbs constantly jumped routes throughout the season.

I'm really glad we have Dobbs so I'm not going to build a case against him.
I'll leave it at this - If you didn't see many under and overthrown passes, then yes, we apparently saw different games.
