Did I read that right? You've got people on here complaining about snagging a WR over 6 feet tall who runs a 4.4?
SMH.
Why are people questioning it? So what if he's a juco or has a low star rating or slim offer list. I trust Dooley and company more than the majority of coaching staffs out there when it comes to recruiting. How's Devrin Young worked out so far? Just because we're early to offer doesn't mean that the guy is bad. Truth be told, I believe a lot of staffs just play it on the safe side by waiting til other bigger name programs offer to offer themselves. One thing I admire about Dooley and co. is that they're not afraid to hand out an offer to somebody they feel is SEC caliber, regardless of what anybody else thinks. I used to be one of those star gazers, but after countless times of seeing a prospect seemingly fall off the map ratings wise because he committed to us has soured me on the recruiting services. I'm no talent evaluator, but if a guy's film stands out, which Comas' did, then there isn't any reason not to like him, which I do. See, I formed my own opinion, and it feels great. Some of you all need to quit questioning a commit just because he's not highly rated by the so called "experts" who have just about as much of a clue as most of the people on here do. Dooley and company have done pretty well on under the radar guys, so just trust that they know what they're doing, sit back, and relax.
I totally disagree with all of this. Why do you trust Dooley more than the majority of coaching staffs? That doesn't make sense. He has a losing record as a head coach both at and prior to Tennessee. I'm not saying he can't be a good coach but there is nothing he has done yet that would ever make me say I trust him more than other coaching staffs, especially successful ones.
And how can you say they have done well with under the radar guys? Just because some have gotten PT? Even if they are getting PT they have still been getting PT on sub .500 teams. If anything that tells me 1) The higher rated guys they are beating out were overated coming out of high school 2) the under the radar guys are playing to their talent level and nothing more and 2) Tennessee needs to recruit at a much higher level.
Once again I agree w/ you MH.
But I also think we all can admit that Dooley has upgraded the roster significantly since he stepped on campus.
I agree that he's upgraded the roster. I still dont think people realize just how truly bad the roster was going to be for at least a few years post-Fulmer. He had the two worst recruiting classes I've ever seen at Tennessee in 06 and 08 where he and his staff landed only around 4 or 5 4-stars and a few of them were major risks from the get go.
