Why Tennessee football has barely tapped into one of state's most talented recruiting classes ever

Eeeehhhh…I get it, but most of them were committed to their respective schools 1-2 years ago. If this story still exists in 2024, we have problems. As of now, I’m not worried about it

Let me guess….

John I never cared for Tennessee Adams?

If we had just landed Nolen, I don't think this would be worth sweating over. Recruiting needs to pick up for sure, but of those in-state misses, only one is truly a game changer... and this class really isn't shaping up to be that bad.

this is more about jeremy burning every bridge we had in state, being bad, a train wreck in UTAD investigation, and being behind in NIL.

wgas where they're from? can they play?

It isn't over yet. We could always flip them. I say we go hard after the UK commits. No reason we should allow Kentucky to steal players from us.

Clickbait. If you ingest it, prepare to squat & divest it.

Maybe he should write about UF missing their in-state talent?

It’s a cycle. The kid from Powell remains to be seen. We will be fine.

OMG for the last time KENTUCKY DIDNT STEAL ANY RECRUITS FROM US.One of the Wade boys wanted to play QB,we respectfully told him it ain't gonna happen.Kentucky offered him the chance at Qb and the rest is history.Would u rather have Heupel lie and tell them what they want to hear,get em on campus and they turn into sour grapes and leave the program in 12 months?I'd love to have had the Wade twins but it is what It is but this Kentucky is raping us narrative is insane.Their 9-3 and gonna get a few recuits here and there but I have full faith anyone we really want head2head with Kentucky will get.

Not only a recruiting game changer but an on the field game.chager at the position that we are in need of high level talent. IMO a couple of monsters at DT will help win more games than most other positions

You can thank the crappy hires of previous coaches for this. Especially you can blame the prior coach to this one.....

Who the hell wants to commit to a team that went 3-9, seriously? Had(s) a NCAA cloud over them and fired their coach for cheating?.........NOBODY........

Article tells us nothing we didn't already know. I would also point out that the high school coaches must be "won over" and I expect this can take longer than "winning over" a high school player.

 

[CAVPUT]

Low hanging fruit for the hack that wrote it. With the chit show our program became after 3 straight frauds for head coaches, what could have expected anything else? That's the past. How about writing about the fantastic job this staff did with what was a severely compromised roster? Why not write about our red hot baseball program? Why not write about the best PG we've likely seen on this campus maybe in my lifetime? Why? Because like most other media types, it's easier to pick at scabs and get the clicks.

Personally I don't think you should kiss an instate kids ass. If they want to go play for someone else by all means go. A football player is a football player regardless where their from.

That happened once before, as I recall. A kid named Cobb…obviously this is not that situation. I’ve asserted and maintain that Cobb was the beginning of the end for Fulmer. All he had to do was let him rep at QB for a month, realize his future at another position, and he’d have been an all time great at UT.

I have been surprised Stoops didn't get an offer to go somewhere. I was hoping he would move on

Between butch and bubba gump burning relationships with high schools and threat of sanctions + covid not making it easy to rectify quickly, is this any real surprise? no. Im with others here in thinking that CJH will need time to turn recruiting around but the 2023 class is the one I feel we really can judge if he is going to hit his stride or not.

I'd like to know if any of these young men have signed with the school which presently holds their commitment? No because NLI's can't be signed until Wednesday if I understand correctly. It may very well stand as is projected presently, but we can still hold out hope that we may indeed flip a couple of the really good ones.
