Funny that I caught crap for saying Roman Harrison was the strongest player on the team coming in as a True Freshman..... and now it’s brought to light that it is true.

Just had to pat myself on the back for a second. (Because some of the people on here think they know everything)

One “inside source” that I’d buy this narrative on Chaney...De1Conley. Otherwise it’s bull we started hearing from Dawgies after we outspent them for our new OC and targeting our top recruit right in their backyard. Not saying Chaney isn’t hyped on King, just that he isn’t meh on Bailey.

Haven't followed the discussion completely but I think we're somewhat on the same page.

I wasn't aware the dawg fans claimed Chaney didn't like Bailey(?) Only that he was really big on King, which I do believe. Besides, wasn't Bailey kinda out on staying in Ga early on, even when they were showing interest?

The next couple of seasons are pretty simple-- this staff must fully develop the talent they have to work with (both on and off the field- S&C), win the games they are supposed to, out coach a few rivals and win one or two we weren't picked to win, keep the recruiting train rolling as best we can considering it will be slow since we don't have that much to sell and it is easy to negative recruit us, and I think things will start to fall in place.

We will start getting the higher-tier kids because they will see this staff is creating a great body of work and doing the best with what we have/progressing (not throwing out gimmicky soundbites and taglines, really coaching)... They will see this staff can actually coach and develop players to get to the next level, unlike the numb-nut before, and all of a sudden UT will start to be a place kids want to come be a part of...

We (Staff) must figure out a way to start beating FL and GA, which will be the biggest hurdles in our long term success on the field and in recruiting... we don't figure that out and unfortunately we will be looking for another coach in 3-4 yrs. The deck is stacked against us since GA is currently a recruiting juggernaut/nightmare and doesn't look to be going anywhere but up in the next few seasons. All signs so far point to Pruitt and Co being the guys to get us out of the ditch we are currently wallowing in...

Question for those that follow recruiting more closely than I. I have seen recent concern over the QB recruiting situation but why isn't there more concern about wr? We have generated little interest from high profile guys and those that seemed interested have committed elsewhere. Are there backup plans of similar caliber or am I missing something?

WRs are a dime a dozen. We will be fine in that area.

We’ve generated a lot of interest from higher rated guys. Just not enough to get any on board right now.

Don’t worry though all the .8500 composite receivers we sign just haven’t camped and they’re diamonds in the rough and Roman Harrison! And it’s only June Tee only been here 4 months

They never show up when what they ridicule turns up true. 😉

Yep. Have you on ignore also. Basically have everyone on ignore because I prefer skipping all the clutter that surrounds my posts.

Like Emmitt Smith once said, I’m a diamond surrounded by trash.

Diamond surrounded by “poo poo”. Something’s wrong with your ignore feature btw...cuz you ain’t doing it.

Good lord man.... we went 4 - 8 the year before Pruitt was hired and still pulled in a pretty decent class (21 overall).... Went 5 - 7 this past year and pulled in a good class (12 overall).... and you are worried that we won’t have a good haul this year? Come on now.

Pulled in Ramel Keyton and you doubt this staff?

You seem like a fun guy. I bet you're almost always surrounded by loved ones giving you compliments.
