Our freshmen are program builders

[Joe Vols]

Kids from all over the country are going to want to come and play with this special group of athletes and coaches. We are going to close on some big time recruits down the stretch this year. GBO

 

[alwaysvol]

well Kippy Brown done alot of good during his short tenure as head coach, and Dooley saved our starting foundation. this recuriting class will add to that foundation. with Bray as our QB we should beable to get any WR we want.

We need help on Defence

What's wrong with de fence? And which fence is the problem?

Yeh we're still pretty weak by Tennessee standards. Id trade a whole class of skill offense players for 2 5 star linebackers and a beastly DT or two

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

Alright so then we have an above average(maybe) defense and an offense composed of Division II talent at the skill positions. I don't like our chances there.

D2 talent at skill positions are you high?

You just said you would trade an entire class of skill players. Who are we going to play at those positions if we don't recruit those positions? Walk-ons is my guess

 

[IPorange]

Ya, that's what I was incredulous about. An entire class is more critical than 2 five star LB's.

Besides, I have a feeling we are going to be okay at linebacker, once we start developing our younger guys.


Hell, I'm just positively rosy after today.

Propst and Crump are reasons to be optimistic about Thompson's ability to find the diamonds in the rough

 

[Wezcoast]

We have enough talented underclassmen to compensate for the loss of one class technically. We need big uglies with speed. We get those and the skill positions are no issue for 1 recruiting year.

 

[IPorange]

Disagree. We absolutely need depth at RB, WR, DB, and QB in this class, and to some extent are getting it. We couldn't afford not to get it.

our guys get 2 pick 6s in one game and get slammed in this thread...

1. Where did they get "slammed?"


2. They were playing against a QB that was obviously still suffering from the effects of a concussion, throwing wildly off the mark on one int, and straight into coverage on the others. Yes, they had a good game but there is a context to it.

Think the intent was we need more horsepower on the line , not so much the db's and such. We need to force teams to spread us out rather than running up our gut. Nobody was really slamming anyone though for this game.
