This class took a step toward fixing our biggest problem - offensive line.

Everything else is icing on the cake. Everything about 2017 - recruiting, s&c, team unity, and staff problems have put us back more than most of us want to admit. This will be a slow rebuild and it had to start in the trenches.
Biggest news of today was Fitz staying.

Let me say this about @Atlanta VOL or any person with sources inside the program, they are getting information from administration inside the football program or coaches. They are simply relaying what they are told by these people. If someone tells them that a certain player has committed and the player is lying or changes his mind, then that is bad information. The difference in what Hubbs and other media report is they have sources from the other side. They have relationships with the players themselves or other media associated with other teams. That's why you hear them say "Both staffs have a degree of confidence." That's where a player or people close to the player tell them one thing and they player or people close to the player tell another staff the polar opposite. Hubbs, Callahan etc. have multiple sources to backup what they hear from inside the program. That's a luxury that AV and others like him don't typically have. They are hearing one side of the story. Y'all seriously need to either understand that things change and these insiders my not be right about everything because things change or just place them on ignore and don't follow them. With the new version of the ignore feature, you don't even have to know they've posted. One thing for sure is no one needs anyone telling them who to believe and who not to believe. If you think someone is a fraud, that's fine. Leave it up to others to determine the credibility of any supposed insider. Quite frankly it comes off as childish and immature.

Great post. I have a theory. The majority of the babies complaining are actually burner accounts of Hubbs, Callahan, Rucker etc. to try to create strife and run people off this site; thus, trying to preserve their information to their own pay sites.

You’re welcome

Pruitt said they really liked Means when he camped. Said he's big at 213lbs and very athletic, could play defense. But said they would start him out at WR. So sounds like he's just a very good athlete, big and fast, and once on campus they'll find a home for him.

His home will be the bench...

SEC network guys very complimentary of our class a few minutes ago.

So we got that going for us.

They said what anyone with a functioning brain already knows. This is a floundering program without an OC, haven’t signed our whole class, and yet we’re still 15th in the country. We’re about to add a stud running back tomorrow too. Anyone whining about this class is 1) a miserable human being 2) extremely short sighted or 3) both. Things are going the right way. We just have to be patient and stop saying “but but we’re tennessee!”

We’re on a 3 game losing streak to SC and Vandy. Mizzou has blown us out twice and probably will next year too. And we’ve got a guy that is being a head coach for the first time in his career. In time I know Pruitt will get this right because he’s only been a part of winning. We need to let him build this program up. Took Majors many years but once he got it going we won championships.

In the meantime we can enjoy what rick Barnes is doing for our basketball program

This is a place for Vol fans to express thoughts and opinions. Check my post history, I’m largely a positive person.... today my opinion is clouded by frustrations that an “elite” recruiting staff couldn’t pull in enough talent. Not to mention I’m still embarrassed by the Vandy and Mizzou performances. They ignored in state talent that signed with contenders, trying to chase big fish and got burned.

Don’t expect everyone to listen to the choir about what a great class this is. Sure we got a few studs, but not nearly enough to keep from getting our a** stomped by Vandy again
