Early Signing Day

I know I am taking a risk putting this here and will completely understand if this gets moved to the recruiting forum but this truly is the biggest conversation we need to be having this week.

The expectation is for Tennessee to pick up 20 of their available 25 spots over the next 3 days raising our class rank to somewhere in the top #15 and SEC rank to #5. That is is the expectation. We have a good start with Omari Thomas, a 4 star OL from Briarcrest in Memphis, announcing his commitment last week. Hopefully he is just the tip of the spear.

In addition to Tennessee I feel like we need to watch Florida. Mullen is a good coach but his negative has always been recruiting. There are signs that is changing. My hope is the next few days are very disappointing for the Gators otherwise we may be stuck at #3 in the East for a few more years.

Put it this way, if early signing day was Christmas, Tennessee would be the equivalent of a child who's been more naughty than nice.

I'm not sure I can help you understand 247's Crystal ball predictions. I guess if you was really interested in recruiting you would look into it.

It's cool. I was just looking for a quick explanation on those 2 columns but I think I got it. I don't really put too much stock into what those sites have to say, get just as good info here IMO.

Hard to really figure out how 17,18, 19 year olds decide on their futures. One item going in our favor concerning DW is the position is his for the taking. Another positive note is the improvement over the last 6 games and making it to a Bowl. I just hope we do not lose any of the commits. Worried a little on Calloway. GBO!

Been reading this board for quite some time, thought I would join the conversations.
Any Big Surprises? I am hoping that Norville will hurt Florida in recruiting starting next year, kind of late for this year.

Two points. One, I hope your expectation turns into reality. Two, Omari Thomas is a fine young man, I hope the rest of recruits are in his mold, we don't need any more drama reflecting on UT or Tennessee.

Mullen sucks at recruiting. He's only having a bump year because fsu fired their head coach, and Miami's head coach is still getting acclimated. A). I doubt his recruiting class stays as high as it is, B). He will be back to mediocrity next year if Norvell is worth his salt (which will actually be a very, very interesting discussion point for this board depending on our recruiting/season next year).

Mullen being a garbage recruiter is kind of the big point against Pruitt. We shouldn't be losing these battles on or off the field.

Mullen is a garbage recruiter? 9th last year and 7th this year at the moment. You sure about that?

Gilbert out of Marietta was on the news tonight receiving the national high school player of the year award. He sounded like a hard lock to LSU to me.

Yall have to go over the the Recruiting Forum. Rumors flying all over the place about who may be signing tomorrow.
