'18 OH LB Dallas Gant (Ohio St Transfer)

[VolMarine1371]

Or maybe OSU overlooked them. However, I do think that some of the Pac12 teams are better than rated. They put a lot of money in their recruiting and facilities.

Oregon had the facility and more money at there disposal than most if not any school in the PAC with Nike being in there side.

Are you suggesting we are on the same level as Ohio State? Reminder that they just made the national championship last year lol. Not saying this dude is Burrow, but Joe Burrow couldn't play there

 

[willinhf]

He can’t play there why would we want him? I mean our depth isn’t that awful. We need to get 4 year players in a system not keep plugging holes.

<<Joe Burrow has entered the chat>>

I just don't think Ohio St. is as good this year as they typically are or at least what they are perceived to be.

Correct their D has sucked for 2 years now and they’re breaking in a young QB

It’s not good depth.
They still can’t cover a slant.
Any and all competition is a great thing

Actually we’ve done a good job vs the slant this year. It’s impossible to stop it every time but we’ve covered it well

Our depth is that awful. You guys have lost your minds if you think the transfer portal isn’t our best way out. It is literally the best thing for Tennessee right now because if we don’t win something of value soon… none of the elite 4 year players are coming .

Regardless of sanctions, we need to win, now! Wins is what high school kids look at, for the most part. JMO

Need slow bleeding before stopping it. Waiting 3 full years to be competitive is death wish for coaches these days

The model has changed, you won't see teams built solely on 4 year players going forward.

We saw LSU win a title by 'plugging holes', recruiting is quickly evolving into 'roster management' and I'm pleased the coaching staff isn't so short-sighted as the opinion you've expressed.

Truth. This transfer rule may be our golden ticket out of the mess we’re in. No way we’d compete with recruiting solely HS athletes as it takes too long to develop productive SEC players. It almost isn’t fair to the athlete.
