Growing up an Illinois fan and a Bears fan, I know all about this guy. He's a good coach for sure, even if the Bears had a miserable O-line this year. That wasn't really his fault, though, as they had very little talent. His time at Illinois is important in that he developed some very good...

It's Britney Spears from an issue of (I think) GQ a few years ago. As for the topic of this thread: Immediate Impact on O - Michael Palardy Immediate Impact on D - John Brown Best Player - Corey Miller Overrated - Matt Milton Underrated - Marques Pair Not likely to enroll - Broussard/Taylor

I sure hope so. Everybody is predicting this kid is just going to blow up.

This late in the process, I'll take what I can get. Plus, at this point, there aren't nearly as many DL available as WRs, which is a big reason why you're seeing a lot more receivers than defensive lineman brought in. I'm sure the staff would try to bring in D-lineman if they could. There...

This could be a mistake b/c we haven't heard anything on Rivals or GoVolsExtra or anywhere else for that matter, but on Mike Edwards' personal profile page on an Ohio football website, he's listed as committed to Tennessee. The players create/manage their own profile on this site, so unless...

I think one thing that's being overlooked with Ole Miss' huge win and their dominant performances to end the season is something much bigger than just Ole Miss representing the SEC well. Rather, all of the players contributing on that team were recruited to Ole Miss by Orgeron, which bodes well...

Berry won't be a Top 5 pick. Maybe top 10, but that's stretching it. Don't get me wrong, I love the guy. He's my favorite player on the team and is the best football player Tennessee has had in years. But, as someone alluded to earlier, the Safety position just isn't taken that high. There...

If Marve can get out of his clause that says he can't go to an SEC school, I think UT would be a very viable option for this kid. I mean, I'd take a shot at him. He may not have done very well at Miami, but quite frankly, I'll take a chance on him. For all we know he just needs a change of...

Jelani Jenkins would be amazing. Probably too much ground to make up on this recruitment, but this is exactly the type of player you'll see us bringing in next year with both Kiffins and Orgeron getting a whole year to recruit. Anyway, if we can somehow land Jenkins, he would be a perfect fit...

So our staff is shaping up to look something like this (somewhat educated guesses are in parenthesis)... OC/OL - Jim Chaney QB/RC - David Reaves RB - (Eddie Gran) WR - ??? TE/ST - (Brian Schneider) DC - Monte Kiffin DL - James Cregg LB - ??? DB - (Jimmy Lake) I can't really get a good feel for...

If Ohio St gets Morgan Moses, Hall will go to Illinois. If they don't get Moses, still an OSU-Illinois battle with Ohio St likely winning.

Haven't been able to find anything about Marve transferring, but if he does, UT would probably be a viable option especially if Orgeron comes here. I understand Coach O is a defensive coach, but Marve was one of the prospects singled out in "Meat Market" so he has history with being heavily...

Not sure what that means, but I'm just telling you like I see it. I've watched a lot of game film, etc. over the years, and obviously, there's a reason this guy is so highly ranked, but his Rivals videos just weren't that great. Boyd will not be a big loss. I honestly trust Kiffin's...

Yep, not sure exactly what I can write since Rivals is a pay website and I know they're strict about giving out that info... But let's just say Boyd does not have a scholarship offer anymore from Tennessee. I'm honestly not too worried about this. I know Boyd is a 4-star, but what do rankings...

I'm glad you mentioned this book because, seriously, if anyone has a chance to read it, you should. Especially if you love football and want to get a better look into all the work that goes into recruiting... If we hire Coach O, I think I'll re-read it just to re-familiarize myself with his...
