Kiffin already set a record for his time at Tennessee -- the worst attrition rate on a SEC program by any coach in such a short time period. Aside from the 1) cut-and-burn approach he took to the then-existing roster (depleting all depth), or the loss of players in the wake of his sudden departure, and not even counting all the recruits we would have lost had he stayed (Hunter & Stone not here; recruits like Ambles, Stanley, Willis likely would have left for reasons they left those programs), let's just look at his 2009 roster. ...
The only ones out of Kiffin's class that made an impact the past two seasons are....
Janzen Jackson
Eric Gordon
JerQuari Schofield
Marsalis Teague
The one's who still can make an impact the next two seasons, IF they get their stuff together...
Greg King
Nyshier Oliver
Zach Rogers
Marlon Walls
Outside of those 8, it looks like most of that class will be a host of busts and transfers to me, just like the last 4 classes. Hopefully Dooley is right about the 2011 class coming in, that there won't be that many misses. We had better hope so.
Yeah, Nevin McKenzie and DeAngelo Willingham were so productive. Good one :crazy:
