I agree about the gentlemen's agreement. but I bet every kid Sunseri and Pittman were recruiting have called them. Some just to congratulate them, but others asking "What about me?" Many time recruiters become the #1 face of the school to these kids. They build a strong relationship.
I'm just glad to see we have a DC in place. Now does he hire a linebacker coach and coach the DB's or does he coach the linebacker's and hire a DB coach?ardon:
Because we're sitting at 18th right now, we've got a handful of commits to go to finish this class, and they're all likely going to be 4stars or better. I honestly can't see this class finishing any worse than 12th.
Agree 100%. This class is a top 10 lock now and 2013 will be pushing top 5 for sure. We have one of the best recruiting staffs as it stands now with a couple more coaching hires to go.
This off season is going to be a lot of fun, I know I'm pretty damn excited :rock:
You do know we are number 20 on ESPN so how are we gonna jump 10 spots in 3 weeks with the guys we have targeted?
I was referring to Rivals rankings. I don't really follow ESPN's that closely but last year UT finished 13th in both, and UT is currently 19th on Rivals, so they probably aren't too far off.
We're still going to take 5-6 more commits and all of them will likely be very highly rated. If we add 5 more 4stars that will give us 14 total and should put us comfortably inside the top 12, and maybe just inside the top 10, I would think.
Maybe Thunder (or someone else who has the rivals formula) could help us out...what would our point total be if we added 5 more 5.8 4stars to the class?

The DC change is starting to look it could pay major dividends for this class. Because of the job Wilcox and Sirmon did selling the program as opposed to themselves, we are in a position to keep all of the players we already had (I don't count Crawley because he's an academic risk and was already looking around) and because of Coach Sal we are in a great spot to swoop on some guys before NSD.
Who knows how it will work out on the field, but for recruiting, this was all for the best.
Y'all, I know how hard it is to find this stuff on the internet...but we actually have a DB coach. We've had him for two years.
