[Tennessee Golfer]

We need to join the ACC. Georgia tech can swap with us to the SEC

Boy looks sharp in Pantone 151. And yeah that’s definitely an intimidating sight right there. Get em both in the boat, CJP! Do it now!

 

[UpstateVol613]

I might be in the minority but I would like to see UNC added to the OOC schedule. Would be good for recruiting NC and most importantly I am still bitter about the BS of the Music City Bowl.

 

[VolDC]

This sounds awesome, but who is floating the theory that Clemson wouldn't take the #1 DT in the country late?

 

[MiramarVol]

Someone said that Clemson wouldn't wait on his decision.

 

[VolDC]

Dabo would take this kid on the February signing day.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Good. Hope he takes his time then.

At least from their board...he's the "only" 2021 DT they are after. Who knows if true.

lol

I don't get why this is a "lol".

I'm not asking the staff to take players from UGA and Clemson. If they struggle to pry NC kids away from UNC, that's no bueno.

If you’re paying attention to recruiting, UNC has a boatload of momentum going their way right now. Home state pride is a thing in other states other than ours. We don’t have the best high school football here compared to lots of other states.

If we’re losing kids like Page to UNC, it doesn’t bode well for this staff.

Which would also mean Clemson is losing kids like Page to UNC. Doesn’t bode well for them either then. And they’re Clemson.

See how that sounds to the rest of us?

Clemson wants this kid. If he goes to UNC it means Clemson also missed on him. So they must be equally bad recruiters.

Cool. This is a results based business. Recruiting better than UNC is a reasonable expectation for an SEC program trying to establish itself in the top-middle tier of the conference.

It's really early, so it's not worth fretting over. I'm just saying the "well, do you expect us to outrecruit UNC?!?!?!" line is pretty ridiculous.

Mack Brown has always been a hell of a recruiter. He made UNC relevant before he left for Texas, and he remained in the national spotlight after leaving Texas. Sure, UNC is a basketball school, but their football history isn't complete trash like other basketball schools. It should come as no surprise that they're recruiting well now.

UNC uses its basketball to recruit football players. Always has. They have a nice class going but will lose their share to out of state. SEC in particular carries a great deal of weight over here.

I will never understand why a kid would want to play ball at a school or conference that has no fans. All those shots of half empty stadiums for the ACC title game says it all.

I don't know if recruits saw too many good games at UNC this winter.

Yeah I agree. Doesn’t seem right

I’m 38 this week and I wasn’t alive the last time they won an ACC title. Duke and Wake have won one more recently. The UNC football program can EAD.

 

[secking]

Sounds like Tennessee made a move over the weekend for five-star defensive tackle Payton Page of Greensboro (N.C.) Dudley.

The Vols might've pulled in front of UNC for second place behind Clemson.

2020 class did exceptionally well In-State.
Omari Thomas, Bryson Eason, and Keshawn Lawrence are probably 3 future NFL players.

And we stole 4 stars from the states of South Carolina, Alabama, and Florida.

We have a really good recruiting machine right now. And State pride is higher than it's ever been imo. We signed 5 players from Memphis alone last year....when has UT EVER been able to do that?

Like I said we are the legit threat to Clemson.

Now all we have to do is plant that kilo of Columbian BamBam under Dabo's car and call the cops.

 

[TrippieRedd]

So if we get this dude and Brooks, just take all my money and give it to Pruitt
