Ten things to think about while we feel miserable after the UCLA loss and the impending doom of Florida.
1. Staff came in Dec yet still pulled off a #10 class.
2. Got the #1 player in USA to come to UT and we weren't on his radar beforehand.
3. We had kids at summer camp who were among who's who of high school players. Many of the top players are visiting.
4. GPA's are up
5. Arrests are down (zero as of today)
6. On a day after a loss we got commits from the two best defensive ends in SC and started a pipeline to the best program in SC. (maybe a visit from Lattimore?)
7. On the same day we got a commit from the best WR/athlete in the state of Oklahoma.
8. These three commits vaulted us to the #3 class on Scout.com yet we are the only program in their top ten that is not ranked at all and coming off a losing record two of the last four years.
9. We commited no offensive or defensive penalites against UCLA other than the special teams penalties. We are not holding , jumping offsides, using time outs because we can't get a play called etc. so these guys are being well coached.
10. Fulmer couldn't manage even a 50-50 split with Fla so one more this year won't make much of a difference. Take it in stride and think about 2011.
Folks we are laying the foundation for a return to being competitive with the big boys again. To use a much overworked cliche "Rome wasn't built...... and this program will not be rebuilt in a season.
