My bigger issue is the secondary specifically needs a change.

2026 class our highest rated secondary player is Zay Anderson 4 star and outside top 200 players
2025 class our highest rated secondary player was Tre Poteat 4 star and outside top 400 players
2024 class our highest rated secondary player was Boo Carter 4 star and just inside top 150 players


If they need more mature/experienced guys in the portal back there so be it...but focus effort on landing more of those guys then.

Bama has 3 top 50 players that are all secondary guys
Georgia has a top 100 player that's a secondary guy, but last class had 3 top 200 players all in the secondary
A&M has 3 top 225 players that are all secondary guys, and had 3 last class in the top 150 all in the secondary

So the teams we're chasing are emphasizing high rated secondary players and we've had one in 5 years and he was a bust.

I think you're missing one "big" piece of information from UT recruiting. "CULTURE"
Our staff has said on many occasions that if a player doesn't fit the culture profile, he will not be signed by UT. Good or bad, that's just part of the profile that our staff looks at when offering players.

Chop and Hobby are already on staff. I assume Chop is as much a part of the recruiting as Garner is.

Chop supposedly leaving with Garner

 

[BigSteve09]

Coach Chop has history with Garner and Auburn. He may be departing as well.

that was the word. Neither signed their new deals with UT.

It needs to be answered why the media has not mentioned Schiano for any of these jobs.

Maybe Dan Wolken can address this transgression.

 

[BbwVol]

Lol

I bet this kid transfers at some point un his career. His recruitment has been all over the place.

 

[Vol423]

i was thunking of that movie the Outsiders, or something like that.

Wow. You should really watch The Lost Boys.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

We’ve recruited edge well, but we’ve not gotten elite performances from edge or DL in a while.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Well that's an issue

Yup.

 

[Jackcrevol]

We’ve recruited edge well, but we’ve not gotten elite performances from edge or DL in a while.

And here comes the coping.

 

[Vol423]

Can Paul actually fly

I think he can. He should definitely give it a shot.

 

[swchandler1988]

that was the word. Neither signed their new deals with UT.

Chop received a 2 year extension in February of this year

 

[MemphisVol3]

We’ve recruited edge well, but we’ve not gotten elite performances from edge or DL in a while.

This year may have been a "downish" year for them than what we're used to seeing from them but they were still good overall.

Who is Coach Chop

 

[volfaninpa]

Chop supposedly leaving with Garner

So, are all the current D-line commitments and Edge rushers going to flip to Auburn or elsewhere?

 

[Jack Burton]

@Jack Burton, you’re embarrassing yourself on your show today. Get it together!

Haha, I heard some of it. Matt was giving TB a hard time about his takes.
