Mike Griffith's tweet

[l2dab16]

"So Tennessee has only one of the state's Top 24 ranked prospects according to 24/7? And people are saying this is a good class? #GetReal"

100% disagree with him.
My question is how many of Tennessee's commits are ranked higher than the other 23 in-state recruits?

Haters gonna hate

Why would you sign in-state talent when you can get better players elsewhere?

 

[l2dab16]

10000000% agree with you

Exactly.

BS twitter noise doesn't really bother me. He can be publicly incorrect if he wants to.

It can't be repeated enough, Griffith is a joke.

Who is Mike Griffith?

In state talent was not good this year

 

[golfballs]

That would be like Kentucky only getting one of the state's top prospects to play basketball for them...

he's a douchebag

Dumb. There are maybe three or four other guys even worth taking compared to our current class.

This thread is precisely why Griffith tweets this kind of thing.

If Mike was talking about TX or FL in state then I'd be more inclined to agree. Then again he may be taking a dig at fans and the in state talent. Who really knows why regardless his tweet is more of a non issue unless we make it an issue. Adams does the same thing. "Button pushing" columnist.

Who is he?

 

[OCIVol]

Why take the top talent in FL, GA, LA, and TX when you can get the top talent in TN?

 

[Cheese Donkey]

Hey guys let's take offense to what a reporter tweets who has no credible knowledge or experience in sports.

 

[VolFromNashville]

But we have 2 of the top TN players for 2013 already committed. There just isn't as much talent in-state this year. Kimbrow is like the only other TN player that's nationally ranked.

 

[GahLee]

Players abroad > in-state talent...every single year.

Griffith can blow himself.

 

[jspvol76]

This makes zero sense.

Griffith has told me that he isn't even a Volunteer fan; only follows UT. He said he is a UNC fan. With that said, he is always cynical in his posts and tweets.

This... Although, I wouldn't mind having azubike or however its spelled.

This is one of the funniest gifs out there.

Obviously just trying to cause controversy. Following Griffith on twitter makes about as much sense as following Clay Travis.

I don't see how people ***** about Rucker when you have people like Griffith. Sometimes I feel like he is trolling Vol fans. I have given him many a fair chance, but unfollow after today.
