I think this is a very valid point.....I am sure that this will be explained in detail to him....and family.....If he comes here opponents will always have to worry about him and he demands attention.....Thus running game will open up and Defenses will have to adjust.....Hunter, Rogers and Patterson on the field at one time would be a nightmare for DCs....Reminds me of FL in the 90s.

Yep. Think of it this way. Most teams, even in the SEC, are very fortunate to have 1 All-American at WR. Now imagine having 3 on the same team. I don't know that I've never seen that in my lifetime. UF in the 90's was the closest to that, and you saw how they lit teams up every single week.

All I'm saying is not every recruit is Gabe Wright, or DeAnthony Arnett, or Mike Davis, etc.

Cordarrelle doesn't talk to the media much, but when he does, he makes a point to be honest and straightforward. When he says he loves all his trips and all of the five are basically even, I am inclined to believe him.

The problem is that saying teams are "all even" has basically been recruit speak to the point where it's just the thing to say, to conceal your intentions. He can be a good kid(and he is), and still say they're all even when he's got a pretty good idea where he's going.

Agreed. But in Patterson's case I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he went to any of his five finalists.

Well, tell him and his mom that, then. And of course, the counterargument is that while UGA doesn't have a receiver that's as good as Rogers or Hunter (really, who does?) that both T. King and Malcolm Mitchell are more than good enough to make an opponent think twice about doubling Cordarelle---so he will rarely have to face double coverage, and he'll be targeted the most of anyone on the team.

I'm sure we WOULD make him a baller in this offense. But UGA can, and HAS sold him as well or better on what happens there. And all that matters in the end is what he feels and believes, and I can tell you right now, the Patterson group feels like he'll shine brighter at UGA.

The only reason the Vols didn't win the SEC East this year was due to Hunter and then Bray going down. There wasn't enough depth at those positions to keep from having a major drop in production (all it takes to lose most of your SEC games). Going into the UF game, this offense was red hot. Enough to smoke both the Gators and UGA.

That will be the case this fall as well, except we should have more depth/experience behind the starters at both positions if an injury occurs again. Patterson would make (what will be) the conference's hottest offense that much hotter. What I am saying is that there would not be a No.1, No.2, No. 3, etc. This team would effectively have 3 No.1 WR's. A rare occurrence at any level.

Auburn rose out of obscurity in one season simply because of superior talent at a few key positions. I think he knows, despite what you are saying, that he has a better chance to pursue an SEC/NC championship here than with the butt-sniffers.

Bowles gets no press because he just comes in and quietly does his awesomeness. But his recruitment has been silent as a church mouse. I wouldn't trade any of these three for another WR in the country.

Even then, you're looking at three freshman WRs. That's why the staff has been trying to sneak in another 2010 high school graduate to add some experience, and Patterson is a real talent. The trio of Patterson, Hunter, and Rogers could teach the trio of Bowles, Croom, and Howard how to be truly great.

^^ This. Plus, for me, it's the rural areas of West Tennessee and the lack of competition. Now, I realize Jackson is not exactly rural, and that it has produced some great athletes before, e.g. Al Wilson and Jabari Greer. I, myself, actually grew up in Martin, TN, home of Chad Clifton and Justin Harrell, the latter of which I grew up with and graduated with. However, the lack of competition can lead to some serious misses too, e.g. Chris Donald, the former 5* LB from Huntingdon, among others.

Don't get me wrong, I hope he turns out to be a great WR. It's just that right now, as said above, we just don't know too much about him yet. His recruitment has been mostly silent. From what I've read about him though, he seems like a good kid, and I'm always happy to have someone like him at Tennessee.

Auburn doesn't even have an established QB yet, so I don't see them the other choice. We all know that their NC was 90% due to having Cam Newton at QB. Guy is in the Pro Bowl as a rookie. Thank you Lane Kiffin :banghead2:, by the way.

Auburn doesn't have an established QB. However, the real question is does CP want to play with Benjamin Franklin?$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

At full strength I don't think we win the East last year.Even if we beat FL and UGA we don't win Bama, LSU or Arky. With UGA's soft Schedule I think they would win the East with 2 conference losses. jmho

Arkansas would DEFINITELY be winnable with Bray, Hunter and Rodgers all healthy. Neither LSU or Bama were offensive Juggernauts, so it would have been a game with them too.
This was a team that absolutely had the potential to be playing in the SECCG...if healthy. But it was too fragile at those positions, depth-wise, to keep a collapse from happening if an injury occurred.

If Bowles had pretended to be open to other schools, he might have gotten a 5th star. There has been zero hype or drama around his recruitment.

You think he is that good? I'm not saying he isn't by the way, just getting your opinion. I have yet to watch his film.

I always appreciate optimism but that is taking it a bit too far.

I agree with this. UT wasn't really ready on D to beat those teams but the games would have been more entertaining for us. UT might have been the best team in the East with Hunter though.

I think that highly of him. He completely changes how DC's must defend UT. IMHO, UT would have been much better if it were DR rather than JH... and that's not taking anything away from how good DR is. But JH can score from anywhere on the field running any pattern against virtually any coverage.

It wasn't optimism. Take Cam Newton off of the 2010 Auburn team and see how far they would have made it. Never would have gotten past LSU and Bama in the West

Peyton Manning and the Indy situation shows most vividly how hard a team can collapse if only their QB is injured. They went from dominating their division every year to having the worst record in the league. We had not only our QB gone for most of the season, but lost our No.1 WR. So, don't give me that chit.

True, but I don't think you had a player like a Cam Newton or a Peyton Manning on your team last year. I have always stated that I'm a big JH11 fan and think that Bray has a ton of potential but they are not big difference makers, not yet. Maybe JH11 could have been, but not to the point where he would have a Cam Newton effect on the SEC.

I can't speak about Peyton and Indy because I don't really keep up with the NFL. I will say that the NC winning Auburn team was loaded with great talent. They had Dirty Fairley who could take over the line of scrimmage. Auburn also had a very experienced O-line full of Seniors. Not to mention they had Onterio M. and a very good Freshman RB in Dyer. Cam Newton deserves a ton of credit but Auburn was a solid football team that year.

I would say Hunter is a pretty significant impact player. He's put up huge numbers when healthy. He was also just put on ESPNs scariest returning players in the SEC list, despite being out nearly all year, and blowing out his knee. Cam type impact? No, but definitely a significant impact player.
