Im not a big star gazer Im just wondering how many top top recruits are Tennessee targeting next class and how many of these so called legacies fall into the 5 and 4 star bracket? Cheers

All of them. Its too early to have a limited number of targets. This staff will do the work needed to be successful. We won't get everyone but nobody will outwork this staff. I'm certain of that.

There will be 8-10 junior days this year for UT. I think that's the most we've ever had. Butch understands marketing and building a brand. I'm excited again about recruiting.

The coaches on this staff called, traveled, and visited more prospects in a month than Dooley did in six. Also HS coaches in Memphis and Nashville have praised Butch for his hard work, relationship building, and genuine interest in improving the UT brand. He's contacted more coaches at the HS level in a month than DD did in three years.

Thanks for the reply. Bars, Hurd, Kelly, Wilson and Malone are all uncomitted. Guess we'll see how much this relationship building means soon enough.

I think VolNation will go into MAJOR meltdown if Hurd goes to OSU next year.

The kid's favorite schools are Florida and UT (yeah, I didn't think it was possible either), but CUM's been in touch... I know, I know... too early to say anything.

I feel pretty good about TKjr... not sure about the others. Anyone have some extra info?

Spot on. Not going tk bash Dooley but everyone and there brother had come out and hammered he and his staff for their lack of professionalism. You simply cannot build a brand that way. A 40th ranked class at tje end of his tenure says it all

Legacy class! that does sound cool.
I know TKjr is one but who are the others that should be a part of the '14 class?..

UT needs to get one or two elite recruits to commit early spring or summer. Example an elite RB or QB (example Hurd, Kelley or Bates type) which will get the ball rolling for the 2014 recruiting season.

No problem at all. We will see the results of real recruiters on the program IMO. Bars talks to the coaches at least once a week. That's impressive to me since neither of his older brothers acknowledged our existence. Hurd has us in his top group (osu leads because DD didn't pay him enough attention. He grew up a UT fan.), Kelly is going to be a Vol, Wilson has us in the top group neck and neck with the Mississippi schools, and Malone likes us (Wharton is working here and with Gaulden). I'm excited and ready for a new chapter in our program. Rise to the top, working for 7, GBO!

And not to scare anyone but tkjr has shown some big interest in Alabama I believe his sister goes to school there already

Isaiah McDaniel, Creamer, Cole (TE, mom played for Summit), and I would throw Cooperwood in there too since his mom works at UT.

biggest thing UT can do to help the "cause" is to get some SEC wins. Beat UK, Mizzou and Vandy, plus pull out an upset or two against UF, UGA or SCAR. Keep it respectable in the other games and at least show an upward trend for the program under new management. JMO:hi:
