Here we go with the all the 3* offers and to kids that do not have very impressive offer lists (some descent schools, but not a lot)...
I thought this staff was supposed to be fishing in deeper waters? I seem to remember folks on here defending Botch on all the 3*, that rankings don't matter and he could evaluate talent and coach them up... we see how that turned out...
Flame away, but I want to start seeing some higher-tier interest... I know we are coming off of a 4-8 season with Lyle at the helm, but I don't want to start seeing the 3* mindset creep in again...
I really think we may have finally found a keeper here with Pruitt and his staff, but with the way GA, AL, and others are recruiting, we need to step it up if we want to compete.

I'll second this. Not recruiting on a high enough level right now IMO. I'm not going to pretend like I'm cool with a bunch of 3 stars.

The 3* DT that committed had a impressive offer sheet for a 3* (Uga, ole miss, Texas AM, Nebraska ) also DT is decently hard position to evaluate. He Also has a great frame. He looks like he’s 275 instead of actually 310.

Hopefully he'll be a nice player. I don't want to have to talk myself into a 3 star anymore like I did some with Dooley and Jones. 3 stars don't win titles.

He’s also the #22 DT in the country. To me that’s more significant than his star ranking. There’s only so many DT that are SEC caliber.

Also if you look at where he falls in the position rankings you can see he is just outside the 4* range.

We have gotten 4 commits for 2019 since Pruitt took over. Lampley is a 4 star. The recruiting services have already stated that Lowe will probably be too. Middleton was a 4 star in high school. It seems to me that 3 out of 4 have 4 star talent according to the recruiting services and the only one that doesn't is a high 3 star.

It’s only April 5. We have three players committed, one of which is a 4 star, the recruiting services have already said the TE will get bumped. I’m not sure why there is concern yet?

Haha right. He's a 5.7 and the lowest 4 star DT is only 3 spot higher than him at #19 and is a 5.8. Oh noes. :loco:

Tennessee 2019 Football Offers

it's called casing a wide net. you have to pick your battles, and you're not going to get every big time prospect you want to go after, and many of the highly rated prospects are going to go thru the whole process and not commit until later in the summer and in to the fall, and still others will wait until Dec or Feb.

it's April. Relax.

Master's this weekend:
OH MY GOODNESS WHAT A SHOT BY (random player)! Ok back to talk about Tiger Woods.
Click to expand...

Bandwagon fan - Let's watch the Masters. I want to watch to Tiger win.

Golfer - Glad to see the Masters is on, such a beautiful course. Hope there is a dogfight on the back nine on Sunday.

Bandwagon fan - with Tiger in contention the ratings will be off the charts.

Golfer - Glad the Masters is on TV because the demand for tickets is so high I'm on the waiting list and I did not get any in the lottery.

Not saying we don't need both because we do. Just wish the media understood and would have some respect for all of the field. Of course, their focus is all about the money. Thank goodness ATT/Direct is showing Amen Corner and 15/16 on 4 K with each group.

Offer lists >>>> star rankings

Consider me an “offer list gazer”

Even then though some "offers" aren't actually offers.


For me personally I think the best way to judge a player is what team is using official visits for him. If a dude is taking officials to Bama or OSU in late fall he's probably a really good prospect.

I'm a golfer (not a good one) and a golf fan. I watch when Tiger is there and when he's not. I am still excited he is there and seems to be playing well leading up to it. And if he is in contention it will probably be more exciting because he is one of the best to ever play the game. I'm also a big Spieth fan and hope he's involved. But I think Rory is gonna win this one. He is just playing so well right now.

Rory needs to win. It seems like all the big names were having good tournaments before heading into the Masters. It should be a good one.
