I think we technically have one even though it’s not the title.

We do…don’t think going into this season with who we had at Safety or Star is ringing endorsement for him.

Just saw the Moa news. Year 5 and the staff is getting out recruited by Utah. Need to get the recruiting in order.

Not their fault, its the fans and their negativity towards Tim Banks. Its got so bad it's affecting recruiting..........

Andy is at #31.

Barton is their secret sauce…if you look at his ROI on players they got out of the portal he is the best in the business.

Love our class, one of the best we've seen in awhile. I wonder though about Caden Harris, 4* CB out of Brownsville, signed with UGA. He visited Knoxville three different times on his own dime. Never really any other info there. I think it may have been said we really weren't pushing...can't remember who said that, though. If we didn't, why not? Anyone got any insight. Kid was committed to Vandy, then flipped to UGA.

$$$$
I was told that Caden was offered an amount from Vandy that we were not willing to match. Eventually, Georgia decided to match Vandy’s offer and Cayden flipped.

It’s Andy. That’s amazing. I mean for the portal though.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Where is the smoke that we’re targeting a portal QB coming from?

 

[TheBigOne10]

So note to self @kemotoe and @volinbama256 are the obvious signing day trolls! Find something legitimate to gripe about, because today was a HELL of a day for the big orange.

Hoping this recruiting class got us out of the sports funk. So far Lady Vols look meh

he's a GM

 

[KB5252]

Lady Vols do something great then immediately follow it up with something mind numbingly stupid

 

[SoilVol]

What’s going on with that? Somebody said Sorsby’s parents are moving to Knoxville? Is that just a coincidence?

Probably moving next door to Gruden

Look very closely to @kemotoe avi and read directly below, it's kind of his thing. I learned this lesson about a year ago. Now the other one was put on my ignore list while I was still a lurker.

It’s women’s basketball.

 

[UTK]

And just remember we didn’t even hesitate to move on from and not overpay for Moa (even though legit his potential could be worth what Utah is playing. But that’s potential. Not what he should get now) because we’re gonna spend some crazy money in the portal this time around.

 

[SoilVol]

Tell you what. Rodney Garner did not close this recruiting cycle like a man packing bags for Auburn.

Those 91+ averages are why I never got worried about the rank. We're improving three talent base in this program.

This year... Very good considering the high end talent, and the haul on both sides of the los.

Didn’t they hire a DL coach?

Basically Auburn is keeping Durkin and most of the defensive staff. I’m really shocked to be honest because the family situation with Garner really had me thinking he would go back to Auburn understandably.
