No. 27. Updated 7.5.12

I really don't care where we sit right now. I believe we'll be in the top 10-15 range come signing day.

How is it thay moose-knuckle has the gaydors recruiting so well? They have sucked for a couple of years now and aren't looking much better this year. Are the visitors getting drunk on swamp water while they are there and commiting?

I disagree - its how you start, because our starters need time to evaluate whether or not to transfer based on who we sign at their position like Arnett did (supposedly).

I thought Arnett transferred because of a sickness in the family...is that incorrect?

Its the state of Florida. Hell, I could have a top ten class at UF with all the talent in the area. Very similar to Texas.

I'm not saying ESPN hates us, but year after year they have us behind Scout and Rivals.

No, I was being sarcastic. Some poster on another thread believes Arnett left because he thought Pig would replace him, which is absurd. Arnett left because of his father's illness, and Baggette leaving probably just made the decision easier.

Michigan is in position to finish #1 in the nation, and they are #1 in the nation in July. That whole notion about how you finish is crap, because in order to win, you have to be landing the big dogs, no matter the date on the calendar, and we haven't been doing that.

And if we finish strong and land a couple of big dogs, your argument goes to hell.

Considering how many of the Top 250 players are committed, we don't have many to choose from, and most we aren't going to land any way.

Wow, the negativity is strong tonight. How many top 250 players would we have to land for you to feel good about our class?

I agree with you to some level, but you don't HAVE to be at or near the top to finish at or near the top. On Rivals, Clemson is currently ranked #22, basically because of Nkemdiche. If they lost just him, they would drop ten spots. If they lost him and their second best current commit, they would drop to #48, just below Northwestern.

Meanwhile, if you take us as an example, first of all Rivals still has three commits of ours unrated, Barnes, Kendrick, and Smith. I took the liberty of giving them 5.5 3*'s each. I figure they'll average at least that good of a rating. Then, if you add Vonn Bell, Derrick Green, and Reeve Koehler, it moves us from #25 up to #12, with still plenty of room to make more solid additions to keep moving up.

Not saying we get all three of those guys, but we're high on their list right now, in addition to several other highly rated guys. I think this year we could certainly prove your concept wrong, as it seems several recruits are waiting to see if they can finally see the results on the field and come to a winning program again.

g8torh8torerica went to the dark side months ago, along with many others on this board. It's a defense mechanism, they're tired of being hurt when things go badly for UT and can't handle it emotionally anymore. They assume the worst now so they won't get their wittle feewings huwt. Personally, I hope no one lets them back on the bandwagon after the Vols win big this fall. Bunch of sissies...

And as for the OP, you say you don't care about early rankings but yet you make a thread about them? Genius.

Acctually I said, I don't "really" care. I would like being ranked number one right now but that isn't the case and I'm not going to get bent out of shape. And the reason I made the thread is, because I can and I want to hear others opinions. Thank you for calling me a genius. It's been said about me before just not sarcastically.
