Question for anyone with more of an idea on this...
Something we haven't seen from this staff is taking early committments from future recruiting classes. I'm curious in regards to the current staffs views on taking '14 committments. Is it more due to staff stability issues or is this their general philosophy to wait till closer to/after signing day?
I would love to see us finish the season strong and get a early start on the '14 class with some solid prospects. We have some great ones visiting this weekend thats for sure.

One thing to note, the Vols have a lot of early offers out to '14 kids. In the past, this has not been the case and people have complained that we are not getting in on kids early enough. Because the staff has been here for a few years now, they are ahead in evaluations and relationships with future classes. One of the benefits of having staff continuity.
Great post OCI. This is something I've tried to say for awhile now as something that hurt cdd and staff in the first few yrs. His current leaders are guys he either had a short time to seal up or a yr to get them committed. tough to really build that relasonship with the kids and family's in such short time. Helps make sure they truly like and respect him when on campus. This is important.
