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

[thebjd]

I am really proud of the accomplishment of our new coaching staff. They have busted their butts visiting and talking up UT! Based on what they started with and a short time to get there, I think they did a helluva job. I also believe the players want to be here and are excited about the coaching staff and will work just as hard. This coaching staff will coach them up and we WILL RISE TO THE TOP....AGAIN!!!

SOON!

Not a single like from even the most staunch sunshine pumpers. There are not many ways to spin this into a positive.

If you take the highest rating from ESPN and Rivals on the players we signed, we have 10 4*s.

That is what I'll go with then. Thanks.

Wow what a dline haul for auburn. Lawson, Adams, Daniel, & Bower. SMDH

You can add Juco ben bradley to that group and subtract Bower since he is going to LSU.

I think bama challenges that group with A'Shawn Robinson, J. Allen, D Liner and Tim Williams based on their rankings on the DL.

People that thought we were going to get a #1 recruiting class were delusional to begin with. We scored some great recruits, lets see how we look this season before jumping on the neg train.

 

[volglassmaker]

Is the Boyd that we were after the one that sign K State? If it was good thing we didn't get him he's in JAIL.

Nice 1st class for CBJ. Wish we could have got the kid who went to FSU from Tenn.

 

[tenn_opie]

Lol he's not a Vol fan. It wouldn't even be a question for any real fan where they would play.

this was the 1st thing i said. Dam son of a butch! His fan card has officially been revoked.

 

[tenn_opie]

Oh God,you`re close to my old stomping grounds of Decatur,Al. CHEER UP! We had an 11 win team last year! We return all but QB&WR! D and O line win games and we are going to have great lines! We will shock Oregon and Fla if we can put together a decent Offensive attack. Then,after WE ARE THE SURPRISE TEAM IN 13,WE WILL LAND A TOP 5 CLASS NEXT YEAR! GO VOLS!

We will pay for the shortcomings in the last two classes in 2 years. We are OK for next season but 2014 season will be tough especially on D.

A few JUCOs will have to be brought in to help fill the void.

Truth. S, CB, DT, LB, RB. One of each would help along with a few freshmen who can contribute

The problem is what is "ok"? We play 5 of the top 10 teams in the nation next year.

Congrats newbies! I know your all going to be champions!

 

[Jojo the vol]

Will get players again once we start winning again...the classic Catch 22 of college football.

I am very proud of the new coaching staff for what they have done . Great job , Welcome to the new volunteers. Proud to be a Tennessee fan!!!!! Go vols

 

[majorvol]

Good job...Coach um up Butch....

 

[majorvol]

Von Bell must want some tats...

 

[VOLorNuttin]

Hope the staff goes after Tevin Lawson and Isaiah Crowell. In my mind, Crowell's offense doesn't seem terribly egregous. Gun charge. Whoopty-freakin-do. Nothing wrong with guns, as long as they are handled responsibly. He should have to have gone through some type of gun ownership/safety class, where legal ownership/carrying is highly emphasized....but that's it.

Would be sweet to see him gashing the muts for the next few years.

Hey Webb, my stomping grounds were up the road from you in Athens!!!

I was in Athens Aug 2d of 2011. I was in Decatur on April 27th,so I barely missed the tornadoes. Good to meet you. Do you remember back in the late 90s and early 2000s? There were more UT flags and radio stations than bammer IN bammer! Now I see people in big cities here with bammer crap on. NOONE in Jamestown though. We`d kill them. lol. nj! GO VOLS!

I'd rather see him land at FSU instead of USC. However, if we would've landed him and Bell, it would have GREATLY helped our secondary, even as freshmen.

There are only 2 teams that finished higher than UT in recruiting that didnt play in a bowl game this year. One was OSU which was NCAA ineligle for a bowl and then Aubarn which had a lossing record! UT and Auburn are the only 2 in the top 25. That says alot about our football program! We just need the results on the field! Kids want to come play here we just need to be competitive again. Just imagine when we start winning big games again! I think we have a COACH again that can develop our talent! Its about to get REAL on Rocky Top! Bleed Orange Baby!
