Well he's made it a point in the past that his business does not push a player one way or the other, that they try and stay neutral, that this type of behavior would be bad for business long term... if he is trying to sway/keep kids from coming to UT and has that kind of power, that's really disappointing and dirty/shallow/immature...

True, but he's also admitted to being a handler. He said on one trip the bagmen gave him two bags. One for him and one for the player. He stated the player did NOT end up picking that school. However, it tells me he's a handler...

AV always leaked stuff right before media picked up. They were all wrong a lot lately. Wouldn’t be surprised and always thought he was just a local media guy with a made up persona. Never thought it was legit no matter how many of you complain about it.

I am going to have to leave the RF. This **** and the depressing **** of our program. Just not fun. Guy is legit but information is never factual when dependent on decisions by people you don’t control.

NCAA decision irrelevant. Plowman could have saved a lot of frustration in November. Her signature is all over everything. Phil made a bad hire. REALLY bad. We didn’t know that at the time. Shoot most didn’t know that in October, when we were stonewalling Georgia at the goal line. Several were leery year before after GaSt. Following sports are like that. Winds shift quickly. No need to be a cuck to Fulmer.

Hoople has a much better roster right now than what Pruitt had in 2018. If Hoople can’t win at least six or seven with our weak ass schedule, he will be gone by 2024 along with the used car salesman who brought him here after failing to deliver on what he sold the boosters and administration.

The Horn thing isn't finished. Probably wants to see what the offense looks like. Also, wants a better understanding of what the potential Penalties might be. You know Kirby, Mullen, Saban etc. are telling these kids that the death penalty is in our future.

Meanwhile, QB is not a priority this year. I know, I know, you need to take one every year. I think that used to be more of the case but now, with the transfer portal, you can always grab one. Bailey and Salter will be our QBs for the next 3-4 years. Both are completely capable, very talented quarterbacks.

Priorities are other positions primarily on the line of scrimmage.

I’d bet he sticks with Mizzu. Not many QBs flip

Best thing we can do is support the players we have and the players we get, and hope they overachieve. Dwelling on star ratings and recruiting rankings isn't going to help. We are legitimately back to square one in a rebuild. Maybe even further back than that, depending on what the NCAA does. But win and the players will eventually come.

yep. pretty much this. it is what it is right now. i would venture to say that following recruiting right now for us as fans is pretty pointless.

our biggest sell is gonna be what we put on the field in the fall. our biggest issue is the negative recruiting we have had to deal with the past 5+ years, with a helping of unknown penalties from NCAA sanctions on the side.

so, just grin and bear it. it probably isn't gonna get a whole lot better in the near future, recruiting that is. And honestly, i'm not so sure that's a bad thing. last year we had a bang up spring/summer and it all fell apart. that momentum only goes so far when you can't put anything on the field to validate the pitch.

and i just laugh at anyone that's blaming the current staff or leadership for where we are RIGHT NOW. i can't even bring myself to really respond with any kind of seriousness to the abject stupidity on display by some......lol. but, please go ahead and keep making yourself look like a fool.....i'm here for cheap laughs at this point. lol.

@ no one in particular

Don't be a miserable loser. Don't put your identity and joy in the wins and losses of a sports team. I enjoy and am frustrated by the Vols like everyone else, but I refuse to be a miserable jerk because we are down.

Take a break. Eat a snickers.

Later rednecks.

👍🏻 Just not worth it.

For what it’s worth the Lady Vols whipped Auburn yesterday but that’s not as fun as talking about how bad we suck every where else I guess..

Bragging about tertiary sports or complaining constantly about how bad our primary sports are.

I'm not sure which is sadder from a fan's perspective to be honest.

Like I said earlier, the QB position is the least of my worries. I wouldn't mind seeing him pass on a QB in this class if he has to settle for one. The QB spot is fine for the foreseeable future. All JMO.

I agree with that. Although i like a few of those other offers we made
