I wouldn't mind if we kept recruiting him. You have to recruit the best players if you want to compete with the best teams. You just don't pass up on a player like Allen in hopes of getting someone who might be a little better.

And when you say "might be a little better", that is only in rankings, correct? I think of how much better Hendrix was rated or perceived to be better than Barnett.

I don't know that we can really predict that one will be better than the other, given similar opportunities. It really depends on how each individual responds to the adjustments of college life, the coaches, teammates, style of play, etc.

So someone said he wasn't announcing tonight?

If you can land Allen, you do it. I'm sure the staff has figured out that Richmond is playing them. Richmond isn't that much better if at all.

Agree. If this staff is foolish enough to pass on another OT in hopes of landing Richmond, then they only have themselves to blame down the road.

That's why I put the might in there. They're both very good prospects. You really can't project who will be better a few years down the road. Coaching and work ethic will determine that.

Is Hubbs saying he is not announcing now and the Rivals guy is saying something different? Hubbs also wasn't thinking we would get Phillips so hopefully he is wrong about this also....I thought someone said he decommitted from Georgia already is that correct? Thanks guys!!!!

Everyone was wrong about Phillips. He was saying one thing the night before and only he and his Mom knew he was gonna be a Vol.

What have they missed on exactly?

Nothing I know of. Nobody knew that Phillips was going to be a Vol. Just like that WR yesterday in thefourth AA game that was telling everyone he was headed to Ala the night before then changed his mind, same way Phillips was so I don't count Hubbs being wrong on that one.

Hubbs and crew are super-conservative with their predictions. It's almost as though they've learned to manage the expectations of a rabid fanbase.

My best friend's Dad is a camera man at the UT games. I was talking to him at the ETSU vs UT basketball game this week and he was telling me that Hubbs knows his stuff better than any reporter in Knoxville, but he is a very conservative reporter and will not report on items he hasn't 100% confirmed on his own. This isn't anything most didn't know around here. I just want people to know Hubbs isn't a moron, he's just a very conservative reporter, as you just mentioned.

I think the WR was going to Ala till he talked to them the night before, may be the reason he acted the way he did right after he made the declarations. I think Ala. told him no longer needed. He sure seemed mad afterword for some reason. Should of been out of the game after he punched and tried to kick the guy.

They haven't "missed" on anything, and I realize they're very conservative, but I personally don't believe VQ is worth $10/month as of late. jmo
