Coach Kiffin got top talent including Bryce Brown the number 1 recruit in the country with a brand new staff, one of the worst offenses in the country and a recruiting season in which we lost to Wyoming and got blasted by our biggest rivals.

I truly believe we win 8-9 this year. Here is my question, how will we handle unreal success? What I mean is this, TN has won 9 games, we won HUGE vs Auburn and now Lamarcus Joyner and DeMarcus Milliner want a shot at being the next Eric Berry. But we already took Dale Trimble so we do not have room for both.

How do coaches handle that situation? Orgeron never had to deal with too much talent wanting to come and not enough spaces, in fact he routinely had massive classes knowing he had signed plenty of academically challenged young men who would not make it.

Can we learn anything from USC? I just do not know enough about their program to know how that is handled.

When you have 1 slot for a TE, do you recruit 5 of them and take whichever one commits first and tell the others you are full up?

In this day and age kids give verbals and then keep looking around and taking visits. Can schools accept verbals and keep looking around and hosting visits? I know that is what happened to Snead and that is why he went to Texas instead of Florida (they said Tebow was going to play LB but he knew it was a lie). Do y'all think that this will happen to UT?

With Orgeron and CLK both being at USC, I don't think handling excess talent will be a problem...

I say load us up

This doesn't seem to me like much of a problem. "Oh no! Now we have too many stud players that want to come here!"? I'd think you keep it the same. You just look at the pool of guys, decide which ones will work the best for what you need, and you do your best to seal the deal with them and bring them in. Seems fairly straightforward to me.
