What he saidTennessee football will not be rebuilt with JUCO's. We should only be recruiting high school prospects. There are no quick fixes as we found out under Butch Jones. The part I placed in bold is ridiculous and very short-sighted, as well as impatient. North Carolina and Iowa are only ahead of us because of their sheer quantity of commitments, not quality. They have 20 commitments... we only have 11. This staff is being very selective. I like it. Now, let's get Haynes King, Rakeem Jarrett and Tyler Baron.

I have followed it football and recruiting all my life...... we are ahead of all those schools in recruiting right now. You look at average rating per recruit..... we are beating all those schools even with a long snapper bringing the numbers down slightly..... I feel pretty confident that Baron and Hardy are already in the boat just waiting on their own commitment days.....We will be fine..... it’s about quality over quantity right now.... don’t stress until after signing day.I think if you think it's okay for us to trail those schools in recruiting, you may have not been following UT football for long.
You mean like Leonard Little?
I already addressed every one of those players in post #66 to this thread. You should take a minute to read through the thread before replying to a post. There are only 4 pages to this thread with a total of 88 posts to it. This is the third time I have replied to one of these "__ says hello" posts. I will say it again, S Dale Carter and DE's Chuck Smith and Chris Mims were signed in the class of 1990. WE WERE NOT REBUILDING AT THE TIME. Tennessee had just completed an 11-1 season in 1989 and had most of their offense returning for 1990. We were losing DE's Marion Hobby and Tracey Hayworth from the 1989 defense and desperately needed more speed in the defensive backfield. Carter was a godsend and that class did a great job of filling immediate needs on a team that was already very good, anyway. We were not rebuilding in 1995 when we signed Leonard Little as a junior college transfer either. We had just gone 8-4 with a very young roster. Also, Little had signed with Tennessee out of high school in 1993 and had 3 years of eligibility to play instead of the customary two, so that is different than Davis as well.Dale Carter, Chuck Smith, Chris Mimms, Charlie Garner. Leonard Little, etc say “huh?”
Our only hope is if they do something like take more commitments between now and.... February of next year.
Hope they decide to.
If you think that sounds "incredibly", wait till you hear this.That sounds incredibly! Only problem is...every other team has 6 more months to add new players as well. Can we not agree barely being ranked in the top 30 isn’t a good thing?
Somehow I think we didn't run off a four-star.
Presently we trail South Carolina, North Carolina, Iowa, and Northwestern in recruiting. We should never, ever trail any of those schools for a day.
Are the checks bouncing? Have our hostesses gained weight? Do our hostesses need to gain weight?
All depends on how we play this year, several are waiting to see what happens on the field. Multiple recruits have said Pruitt has told them we will win 8 or 9 games this season. We finished strong last year in recruiting with an abysmal finish on the field and in the draft. If this staff has more to sell recruits on we will be fine.I have followed it football and recruiting all my life...... we are ahead of all those schools in recruiting right now.

truth.A Memphis player with a weird recruitment. Stop me if you've heard this one...
i don't believe you.Sorry to be negative y’all but it ain’t looking good for this recruiting class. We’ll drop out of the top 25 in recruiting after this departure
lol....same here.Lol. I zoomed in to see what the tattoo was and Holy Chit!! Theys a damn goat on her back. Haha.

Now, I did not say that we should never take a junior college transfer! I said that Tennessee football will not be rebuilt by them. JUCO transfers should be taken to fill in short terms needs for teams which are already very good (such as we were in 1990 when we signed Dale Carter, Chuck Smith and Chris Mims and 1992 when we signed Charlie Garner and 1995 when we signed Leonard Little) So, if anyone else wants to play the "fill in the blank" says hello or in this case, huh? game, I am well aware of those players... and I still say that our program will not be rebuilt by them.
