Until there is a decommitment there is nothing to see here.

Until there is a signature there is plenty to see. Just like every other prospect out there. Winning is the greatest, but being on the short dance card can be a plus. Called relevancy. In today’s transfer world second means more than in the previous days. Get them after someone else pays the development year with big bucks.

You recruit OL 2-3 years in advance bar a top, top end guy like David Sanders Jr. David will be the first OL recruited by Heupel's staff out of high school that will start a game. It's going to be year 5 and you have had to get transfers to remake the line again. The high school recruiting of the position has been ineffective to this point. One would hope these classes change that and at least their hand is being forced with Satterwhite and Sanders

Is it the recruiting or the development? I think it’s development. But then again we run the hell out of the ball year in and out.

Well, I am a VOL who lives in Baton Rouge, so I f'ing hope he gets out there and tries to run around in, or even walk down the sidewalk in, this 99 degree steam that we live in here. 🤔

Edit. Tristan, I am from East TN ... it's always about 10 degrees cooler up there. I wish I was back there, and not in this forsaken hell-hole of South Louisiana. 😥

Can confirm that it’s NOT always 10 degrees cooler here. Visit fam in lake Charles and there is no difference. Hot and humid is hot and humid.

It hope it improves.
But Nico gave us 3,000 total yards and 22 TDs as a freshman. The best freshman year ever by a Tennessee QB.

Was it All-SEC? Nope. But take away every TD he scored in each game, and we absolutely do not make the playoffs.

22 TDs is respectable for a veteran much less a true freshman.

It's the 5 passing touchdowns against SEC teams not named Vanderbilt, and the ZERO points scored in the first half during the entire MONTH of October for me.

It seems to me that this is not going to come down to money so it's going to depend on other factors. That may be me stating the obvious but I think it will come down to comfortability and how he expects to be developed. I honestly don't know who that favors.

When he originally committed, he mentioned development as a huge reason why. LSU has developed and put WR's in the league much better than we have. Hell, if I was a WR recruit I haven't seen any development under Pope that would instill confidence. Heupel is so damn stubborn when it comes to his offensive Coach's, especially Online,WR and OC. I know he likes to have Coach's that know his system, but damn it's too hard these days to be a HC, play caller and basically being the GM. I really hope Heupel does like Day and others have started doing. Finally give up playcalling and hire an elite OC/ Playcaller. Just not sure he ever will.

You would think that he would see how well this has worked on the defensive side of the ball and he would adjust. Like you said though, it can be hard to defeat pride. It's hard to argue with the on-field results, but the offense was better when Golesh was here and he had full control of that offense.

Golesh never had full control. I do think he did a good job with planning and giving input from the box in game

Absolutely. He's hired some really good Defensive Coach's and lets them do their thing. I guess if Ryan Day did it, anybody could. HC's have so many more responsibilities these days, there's no way he can just focus on 1 or 2 things. I was hoping he was the offense has been the last few years that he would see that. I'm hoping it was more of a QB issue with Joe and Nico, but I honestly think opposing DC's have figured out how to scheme for our offense. What does our offense have, maybe 6 plays that they just fun in different ways. How often do we run slants over the middle? Very rarely if ever. Take the Alabama game last year. Teams killed Ala with the shuffle pass all year. Not one time did we run one. We had numerous important short yardage situations that we didn't convert and that play would have gashed them numerous times. Just goes back to being so hardheaded. I've never been a Playcaller and never claim to know anything. But, if a certain play has killed a team all year, why would you not pick opportune times to run that? Hopefully we can get back to the offense had under Hendon. Although Kirby has definitely figured out how to stop Heupel's offense.

I think climate change has made all States, warmer. Also, i'm sure its cyclical. Just like is getting feet of snow back in 80's and 90's in winter. Humans havent helped the situation. Its a reality. Warm spells are warmer, hence intensity, voracity, and volume of violent weather.

Objective view. 1974 we were 74 degrees on Christmas Day. 1977 it snowed every Sunday in January and I remember thinking on the 15th of March if East Tennessee would ever recover from the Ice Age.

1997 it was so cool that our local pool did not open until July 15th. We had family who moved here that June from Southern California who considered moving back because it was so cool here.

There is no constant. It is all cyclical.

Where staffing decisions on offense are involved I am going with CJH, with or without your diatribes. You have taken redundancy to a whole new level.

That’s your only retort? Why not address the main point? I guess you can’t.

I see no reason to dwell on the levels of arrogance some of our negaVOLS exhibit. He is a HC, you are not. He knows the players abilities up close and personal, you do not, he knows the real impact of or lack of onfield leadership the last couple of years on that side of the ball, and if you are not there you cannot. Stats can only take you so far.
