2013 OFFICIAL SIGNING DAY THREAD!!! (first post will be updated)

So with our 21 commits at present, where do we land in the recruiting rankings (not that it really matters)?
 
We had 1790 points on rivals and Vandy had 1840 and Vtech had 1863...The 75 points from Malik put us at 1865 and in at #19...

Somebody a page or two back said that we had to subtract 45 points for Quinn being 2 star and lowest rated recruit, that would drop us back to 1820 and still behind Frankenweenie.
 
Who cares what is "should" be. It is what it is, if dad is to be believed. He said it was because of Dooley. I don't care if you think that its a bad reason. But to say it's not the reason he chose OSU is stupid when it's straight from the horse's mouth. He gave us a chance, but in the end Dooley did him wrong or left a bad taste in his mouth when OSU did not. Add in their success and our recent failures and there you have it.


Maybe if we handed out Escalades, free tatoos and were coming off probation, we could go 13-0 and be a much more attractive choice for these young recruits and their parents. :good!::good!:
 
I disagree. We competed well with the best of the East this year. We're not that far away. The switch back to 4-3 will help a lot. We are still miles away from being a NC contender though.

I think the switch back to the 4-3 WILL help. Of course we competed b/c of the QB WR position. That wont be the case in 2013. HOWEVER, better coaching and a new offensive system should conterbalance that. The defense will be better as well. Just wish we could have gotten one of the top RBs to run behind that OL. Hope Jabo (RB) is a diamond in the rough.
 
All hope and glory are fleeting. We wont be able to compete with classes like this..... I know some of you say well we were in it with the big shot 4 & 5 star guys. Just Being in it and actually signing are two different things. If they aint signing just being in it dont mean ****.

@StephenHargis Vonn Bells dad told me "this is bc of Dooley. If UT had recruited Vonn from day 1 he'd be going there.

Thanks Dooley, you screwed us over in more ways than one.

I'm sorry but I don't buy this. His dad is going to blame UT for Dooley not recruiting him. CBJ went as hard or harder after this kid than anyone. I guess that doesn't count for anything. This is just a cop out in my opinion.

agreed. if tennessee had any chance we would have gotten him. apparently we were never going to get him
 
I'm honestly okay with a smaller class this year. Leaves more room for all the legacies next year. Bold prediction - UT signs a top 5 national recruiting class next season. Bash away.
