Anyone know where Peyton’s chatt house is? My family own a sporting goods business in chatt we mainly do t shirts and such for school or various companies. And I know that Peyton does t shirts and things all the time for his manning passing academy. There is definitely like a 90% chance he would bother but hey why not give it a shot. Also I plan on just sticking a letter in his mail box so I’m not like stalking him lol

Wow this is what other coaches said about UT

"There are some really good quarterbacks in this league, and not many were more highly ranked than Jarrett Guarantano. But he sure didn’t play very well last year when he got a chance. He holds onto the ball too long and takes some unnecessary hits. He has to step his game up. People thought he would step in and be like Joshua Dobbs, but Dobbs is a better thrower than people thought, and he made plays with his feet. Guarantano, I don’t think, is a dual threat like people think. He has a good, live arm, but he’s not a dynamic spread-offense runner. To be fair, I don’t know that he is surrounded by a lot of weapons on the perimeter."

"It will be interesting to see what they do with Tyson Helton as the coordinator. I think they are going to more of a pro-style or traditional offense. We’ll see if that fits with what Guarantano can do well."

"Coach (Jeremy) Pruitt and Kevin Sherrer are obviously very good defensive coaches. It will be interesting to see how they transition to what Tennessee has done in the past few years to their scheme."

"They have done a poor job stopping the run in the past few years. I don’t think they are very big or strong in their front seven, and I don’t think they have the players on the perimeter at the corner positions that Coach Pruitt and that group is used to having. I think they are okay at safety. They have a good player in Nigel Warrior. He’s someone they can build around."

"Darrin Kirkland is a key guy at linebacker. If he comes back from injury, he has the potential to be an upper-level SEC linebacker. But other than that, I don’t see a lot of playmakers on that defense."

Make sure you are logged in. That happened to me once or twice after I had marked all read, and then I noticed I wasn’t logged in. For some reason it’s logged me out, althoUgh I have checked to remain logged in at all times.

Yeah. VN logged me out a couple times yesterday, took me a few seconds to figure out I wasn't getting to the new messages in a thread because of that.

An analyst who covered Jeremy Pruitt’s recruiting efforts as an assistant coach and now studies Pruitt’s recruiting as the head coach at Tennessee said he sees something he recognizes. That’s probably good news for the Vols. Pruitt cultivated a reputation as an elite recruiter during his days as an assistant coach at defensive coordinator at Alabama, Florida State and Georgia. It remains to be seen whether Pruitt will develop a similar reputation and deliver similarly elite recruiting results as the head coach at Tennessee, but 247Sports’ John Garcia Jr. said he’s seeing the same Pruitt he saw during the coach’s time in Tuscaloosa, Tallahassee and Florida State.

“I think ‘attacking’ is a great way to put it,” said Garcia, an analyst based in the Southeast region. “Look, I covered Jeremy Pruitt at Alabama for several years as a recruiter, and that was the style,” Garcia said. “It was an aggressive, in-your-face, take-it-or-leave-it kind of style, and you’re seeing that now with the type of coaches that he’s hiring. He’s hiring younger guys, even though there are several with a good amount of experience. That’s kind of the collective word that’s perfect. “It’s a take-it-or-leave-it kind of approach.”

“Kids want the love,” Garcia said. “They want that effort, and I don’t think Tennessee [under Pruitt] is going to be one of these programs that you hear kids all of a sudden saying, ‘They slowed down on me, they stopped showing me love,’ or what have you. They’re going to be aggressive, which means early scholarship offers — which is something we’ve seen across the Southeast, from Miami all the way over to Mississippi and Alabama and etcetera — and it also means kind of an aggressive approach when things are getting to an apex with a recruit.

“Look at Khris Bogle right now. The first time I interviewed Khris Bogle, the first school that he mentioned was Tennessee. He said they hit him up every single day, and obviously now you’re seeing the returns of that, with him taking visits on his own dime and things like that, and that’s really the ceiling for a group like that. It really does remind me of Pruitt at Alabama. That was what kind of got him a seat at the table early in his career, when he was a younger guy. And he’s still kind of a younger guy. But that staff has kind of embodied that, and it seems like they’re full pedal to the metal all the time throughout the Southeast. And when Tennessee’s good, that’s what it has to be, because you’re not going to get an entire roster in state. It’s just not what they’ve done when they’re a national brand. “Tennessee’s got to do it all throughout the Southeast and those border states, and I think they’ve already laid the foundation for that. And I think that’s become more of the expectation.”
