Wanted to get this off my chest... I know alot of us is worried because NSD is only a day away and.......well nothing has really happened. All we seem to get is hearsay and that seems to be negative hearsay. Basically this is the reasoning behind my post. Go Vols and Go get em Kiffin and Company..........This post is also in reference to the tons of posts that i read about all of our recruits/possible commits........

Hey Guys, look at it like this. "We can never lose what we never had." So if we don't get Brown, Teague, Patterson, King, Bryce Brown, A. Phillips, Montgomery,...etc. then no biggie. Now if we start losing those recruits like Stokes and Oku, then you might get upset because they were in the palm of our hands!

To be perfectly honest with you, I still believe that Kiffin will reel in something pretty special. I'm not overly worried in the sense that all we hear is negative news on these recruits.

Look at it like this, National Signing Day has "its" own day for a reason. They don't call it the day before signing day or the Friday before signing day do they? It's signing day and im sure its pretty special to these kids.

To expect a kid to come out and say I choose.....a week or even a day in advance is ridiculous. It wont happen. Unless you hear it from there mouth, have it tape recorded for all to hear, then there is no source that is reliable, although i will give Hubbs props, but with that said, all speculation is well.....SPECULATION!!!!!

Tommorrow will come and go, we more than likely will have to wait on a few TOP NAMES, but I still am convinced that we will be pleased by tommorrows pledges!!!

And I can already see it now, the disappointment on these boards when we don't get Brown, Patterson, Teague, Montgomery, etc., you know the ones we should of got because Lane Kiffin is such a great recruiter! I might throw up in my mouth if that starts happening! Mainly because Kiffin has only had two months to do what 99.9 percent of coaches have had to do in two years and that is build TRUST with the players!

Think about it like this we have almost 15 prospects interested in UT days before NSD and that is coming off a year when UT was 5-7. Kiffin has to be doing something right or else these kids wouldn't even listen to Kiffin much less visit our school.

CHILL OUT PEOPLE, GO VOLS ON NSD!!!!!!!!!!

Was listening to sportstalk on the way home just to see if there was any new recruiting news of course unless Hubbs is a guest on there it's pointless. Anyway this annoying Chris guy calls in talking about how disapointing it is that Auburn is killing us in recruiting with in his words the double T down there. Why does so many people think Auburn is doing so well? Maybe we lose a couple guys to them which isn't a for sure thing at this time but if we do we will pick up a few guys from another school and that school will pick up a few guys from another school. It's recruiting thats what happens. "Chris" mentioned how it was just stunning looking at the rivals rankings and seeing Auburn ahead of us, but it's purely on numbers not quality. If he would have looked at the average stars he would see that we have higher quality and less quanity because CLK has repeatedly said from now on we are only taking great players. If CLK wanted we could be a top 10-12 class right now by taking a bunch of 2-3 star guys but he chooses to be patient and only take kids that he believes will be stars. I guess if I am going to listen to the radio and read these boards I'm just going to have to get used to the glass half empty people. Posivol is 4-3-2-

Here's another thing that is going to irritate the !@#$ out of me that we might here alot of...."TENNESSEE AND KIFFIN ARE WINNING WITH FULMERS RECRUITS....." and "THE ONLY REASON WE GOT MOST OF THESE GUYS IS BECAUSE OF FULMER...." :blink: Do what!? If that starts happening then I will be the first to make my opinion heard.!

One more thing while I'm at it. Tomorrow is the "real" beginning of the Lane Kiffin era at Tennessee and regardless of how we feel overall about the class we need to welcome the players that do sign to BIG ORANGE COUNTRY and let them know how much we appreciate them. There is very little that can happen tomorrow that will dampen my enthusiasm for the future of Tennessee football. I know our staff has worked their butts off and it bodes well for the future.

Let me correct myself....Tennessee will win with Fulmers Recruits, It should be stated THE ONLY REASON UT IS WINNING IS BECAUSE OF FULMERS PLAYERS....."

It'll happen but of course then we can point out that there were only 14 recruits last year to win with and this is the first year in a decade we couldn't bolster the class with Gerald Williams.
