At Fla
UGA
At Bama
LSU
Vandy
S. Carolina

Losing: Dobbs, kamara, Malone, Barnett, (Maybin & Sutton didn't play much this year anyway)

Will be tough to win 3 or 4 of those &
If we get down early to GT it will be hard to catch up with their offense the clock will run.

Dang it's just feb 1 and you already got us behind GT in the first game and they're running the clock out.....

 

[rekinhavoc]

Sometimes you just have to say "Bring the best you got and meet us in the parking lot."

I think this class will surprise. Up to Butch to make sure they have opportunity to grow and excel.

Bama can be beat. Time for Butch to find a way.

Go Vols!

Rankings:

247 - 11th
ESPN - 14th
Rivals - 15th
Scout - 15th

The day is almost over, and we're top 15 on all 4 services, yet there so much *****ing here. It could be better, sure. But it's not terrible by any means. There are not many guys that I wouldn't have wanted to keep in the class.

Same here. I can't think of too many I would cut.

So Fant is in as an official blue shirt?

So Fant is in as an official blue shirt?

Yes. He acknowledged it.

La Vergne's Princeton Fant to be blueshirt with Tennessee

 

[LaagerVol]

Ok, fair. Guess we need an elite coach then.

Volnation would have 100% fired Dabo after his 2nd or third year and there would have been no national championship for Clemson.

 

[LaagerVol]

So the same players we lost to Vandy with this year will handle them next year?. We lose most of our production on offense from last year and our defense loses the most productive defensive lineman we've ever had. Not to mention got toasted bu very bad teams. Missouri set records on our defense and S. Carolina averaged 17 points a game and we allowed them to score more than us. Vandy ran all over us. I'm not saying we will lose but I'm not acting like it's just some cake walk like others... 2-2 against Vandy under butch that's a coin flip.

What part of ZERO scholarship DTs for the game do some of you guys not understand??

During recruiting it's "Butch sucks and is a failure bc he can't recruit DTs and they are critical in the SEC"

Then during the season you lose a game where you had no DTs and then it's "oh that's no excuse, DTs aren't important. Should be able to win without them"

Sheesh

 

[LaagerVol]

It has nothing to do with this. As I have said previously I think Butch needs somebody to advise him on his press conferences. He would be receiving little to no backlash if he didn't make some of the absurd comments that he makes that we all know arent true

Right. Everything would be hunky dory if he was JUST better at those blasted press conferences.....

 

[butchna]

Volnation would have 100% fired Dabo after his 2nd or third year and there would have been no national championship for Clemson.

Sure there would have. Lane Kiffin would have gotten them on their way, and when he was fired after year two, Bobby Petrino would have gotten them even closer in the one year before they made Jimbo Fisher say no to 10 mil a year before they gave 12 mil a year to Gruden...paving the way for Jim Harbaugh two years later. :thumbsup:

 

[logginlarry]

Anyone have the desire to compare our class to that of UF? Curious as to whether or not we'd trade with them. Really like who we signed today.

The day is almost over, and we're top 15 on all 4 services, yet there so much *****ing here.

Here, I've memorized the response:

"Because we're Tennessee. We've had a couple of championship coaches in over a hundred years, so we don't accept mediocrity. All the other coaches have a top 5 class, all of them. None of them ever lose a game, just winners!
Unless we beat them and then they're obvious trash.
Oh, our class is better than over a hundred others??? Don't try to push your mediocrity on me, We're TN.
The recruits beg to come here until they see our loser coach!"



Oh, 3* and Lyle.

Uh oh! Low standards inferior fan sermon on the mount post in 3...2...1...

 

[Mullins2010]

I like it

We have 5 more players in our class. Counts for a lot in my book.

 

[LaagerVol]

I'll know where our secondary is if Moseley is the starting cb

Right because it's impossible for him to improve with competent coaching.

 

[LaagerVol]

Were the kicker and Calbert blue shirts as well?

 

[LaagerVol]

Sure there would have.

Lol possibly your best post ever.

 

[BruinVol]

We're the kicker and Calbert blue shirts as well?

One almost has to be.

Wish I could like this more than once.

 

[VOLinCO]

Someone posted this on VQ via ESPN:



Recruiting is brutal. I think we got a decent class, but it's a 9-4 class, which is exactly where we are as a program. One slip-up or mediocre season without a ring and past success and you're almost toast on the recruiting trail.

Interesting that they didn't include Auburn in 2010. I believe their average ranking for their championship team was around 13 based on Rivals.

I understand that one year with Cam made the difference for them. But, much of their depth was not as highly rated.

 

[CrunchingTheVolz]

You know you're in trouble when the sunshine crew is going with "Well, it's not TERRIBLE".

 

[MockingVol]

Man, there isn't any reason to be sunshine and rainbows about the current state of the program, but I swear it's almost like some of y'all are just trying to ignore anything that doesn't agree with abject negativity...

Oh. Wait...
