I strongly believe we've lost this one to Bama. No quotes...no inside stuff. Just watching our respective teams and imagining which one a top prospect would gear towards. They physically STOMPED LSU and made Fournette look insignificant. JMO

We are going to have to continue winning battles like this to become elite again. If we as a fan base are content with two top 5 recruiting classes and assume that will get us back we are delusional.

I think I heard the announcers right that Bama was able to rotate two nose tackles throughout the game who have very little to no mileage this year because of all the spread teams they've played. That had to be a huge advantage to have fresh 330-pounders,

How cool would it be to pair up Evan Berry & Nigel Warrior as part of a rotation back there next season? Bloodlines run deep with those two in Eric Berry & Dale Carter. Would be cool to see those two follow suit, together.

Bloodlines will run deep in the whole defense. McKenzie, Bates, TKjr, Berry, and possibly Warrior. These guys' fathers were all good players.

Then, you add Tuttle, Butcher, JRM, and Griffin, whose fathers were all D1 players. It really is unbelievable the bloodlines on our team.

I hear safeties like it when the teammates in front of them do most of the physical domination...they get to make big highlight plays off that. If we land some of the Derrick Brown types we can get in that conversation.

Good grief I think that's more than enough defeatism in this thread. And all of it founded on nothing more than Bama whipping LSU, no quotes from the visit, not even any 247 crystal balls, just that. We went toe to toe with them dudes at their place and UT has plenty going for it in regards to Warrior's recruitment as well. Come on, man.

Reading me wrong...this is an opinion based on the reality of the situation. We were neck and neck with them already and we've added a defeat at Bama and our respective games against SC/LSU to our case. If he wasn't leaning towards us already we ain't done anything to tip him that way. Once again JMO...not done in any official capacity. I never underestimate this staff and it's ability to reel in talent. Btw ask around...I'm the furtherest from a "defeatist". :wink2:

One of those 330 pounders hurdled the entire offensive line to block a FG. Was amazing.

Hardman is still the #1 most important recruit in the 2016 class for us IMO. I think he's got Christian Kirk potential. That type of speedy slot receiver would make our offense unstoppable.

He's the missing piece to making us a playoff team in 2016.

Not even....... You seen Vincent Perry? Kid can fly. Warrior and others are much more important.

One of them is a true freshman. Payne from Shades Valley.

Why would that make a difference? We've played Bama, they didn't do us like LSU. We're passing LSU talent wise too. They've got a lot of athletes but our team looks better on the field.

Our DEFENSE looks better than LSU's? I don't agree. You watch two games...one is a dominant performance against an undefeated team with a Heisman contender...the other a nail biter against a team whose coach left em mid season. With no allegiance, who do you gravitate towards? All things being equal. Warrior most likely starts at either program almost out the gate, so it's a matter of who's going to do what faster ...Bama's already there...once again, I think we lose this one.

We just have the better offense to beat Bama. LSU still has better talent and depth I think.

Agree. More spread and QB runs works better against Bama. LSU is a downhill run team and Bama is built to stop those. Bama is getting good at stopping spread teams as well with all Corners in the Defensive Backfield and with the ability to rotate 9 dlinemen in a game.

LOL. Maybe you should read all the posts around the time of the Oklahoma game saying Nigel and Kyle Davis we're trying to convince Mecole to join the Vols.

Who knows what the kid is gonna do but I doubt Alabama beating the breaks off LSU makes a difference. If he goes to Alabama it'll be about their overall dominance the last 7 years. Not one game.
