I've posted the article countless times. Guess I'll rummage it up again.Lawrence was a huge Tennessee fan. Wanted to be at Tennessee.
Simms would prolly have been alright in Kiffin’s system because he need someone who wasn’t a true freshman post Crompton. Not sure how much better Bray’s career would have been under KiffinBy "us" you mean Kiffin? True dat. Gitshirting Bryce Petty in the same class was a two fer. He actually preferred Matt Simms. Now he did land Tyler Bray for us, so he wasn't a total chode.
Better developed. Chaney was prone to passing tunnel vision and got away from the running game. Checking off to runs is vital in a quarterback's makeup. For grip it and rip it purposes Bray was great.Simms would prolly have been alright in Kiffin’s system because he need someone who wasn’t a true freshman post Crompton.

Tennessee still ran the single wing and Spurrier was a passer. Neither party was interested because it was a bad fit. Spurrier didn’t hate Tennessee. The offenses were so different that it wouldn’t have worked.The worse loss for Tennessee, in my opinion, was not recruiting Steve Spurrier. Not only was he a Heisman winning QB but he also really beat the crap out of us as a coach of Florida in 1990s and frankly, kept us from taking over the SEC East like we should have leading to Florida and Georgia passing us up for years as the power of the East.
Spurrier is our biggest miss based on the ramifications of the fall out from it.
He straight up told Hyatt that he wasn't physical enough.Pretty sure Muschamp wanted Hyatt badly but lost the recruiting battle.
Yeah that hurts, hard to imagine what we could've accomplished with Higgins, Lawrence, Rodgers, and Etienne, and also Cade from the start would've been nice.I've posted the article countless times. Guess I'll rummage it up again.
What could have been: Several of Clemson’s star players discuss their interest in Tennessee before signing with Tigers

Because he has PHYSICAL skills. “Luck” is what you make out of it. Lot of quarterbacks with advanced recognition but no arm would gladly trade places with him. For college purposes, he had us in games despite himself…that’s talent.I dunno man. Tyler Bray has to be one of the luckiest guys on the planet.
He ended up on NFL rosters for what? 7 years or something? More than enough for a decent pension.
Who knows how much he made in salary -not much probably, but certainly more than he would have made just working a normal job.
Never actually had to play so he never got what little brain he has scrambled. I think he ended up throwing 1 career pass didn't he?
Are you saying that they wouldn't have landed Deshaun Watson or Trevor Lawrence without first having Boyd? That's a bit much. He had a good college career, but he wasn't drafted until the 6th round in 2014, and didn't have an NFL career to speak of. He probably isn't well-remembered outside of Clemson fans.Kiffin running Tahj Boyd off and him ultimately leading the emergence of Clemson’s program will probably go down as the most consequential recruiting mistake in Tennessee history.
how about Fulmer and Randall Cobb?

Who's chic is that?This will forever go down as the greatest recruiting mistake of the 2010’s for Tennessee football View attachment 502401
