She could probably do all her psychology Clinicals just with some of the athletes that seem to be head cases and definitely with some of the parents….

I agree. While our recruiting class with the OL is poised to be good for ‘26, and was solid for ‘25, it was the lack of recruiting and development there that had to force us to rely on a LT who had a bad ankle and was out of shape, and a RT who had horrible knees, and a former walkon. That is truely a recruiting and development problem, that in year 4 that’s the best product we could throw out on the OL. WR is a similar situation-we have a bad lack of depth and experience there, so we dont know what we’re getting. Problem is Elarbee is Heupel’s beat friend, so we’ll see how it all shakes out. It also appear to me we treat safety recruiting like an afterthought. Our safety play last year was below average, and really showed against osu, uga and even uf and bama at times

It is a mailbag article, so these are questions that UT fans asked him. If you read the article, then you will see it is not negative in the slightest. While he says that Heupel is not known as an elite recruiter (he isn't), he says that he has done better than every coach since Fulmer. He does not think that he hurts us in recruiting. I enjoyed reading it.

Amazing how stupid people are (A) either without reading the article or (B) even worse they read it but can't comprehend what they read.

No Tennessee football games from last season are being aired as a part of the UT SEC Takeover. Do you think that's on purpose to show no Nico? The only football portion is the Spring-Football All-Access. Could be nothing, but 3 Men's Basketball games are being shown, and I find it interesting. I'd thought the Bama football game would have been aired.

Dang. Just go back to ‘23 and show the Texas A&M win or something.

Let this failure be merely a step upon the stairs to success.

Or, if you reallllly messed up, destroy all the evidence that you tried in the first place and find a new set of stairs to climb.

Failing is a part of life. We fail, we try again, we fail a little less, occasionally we succeed, then we fail again. As long as we are a little better today than we were yesterday then we are failing in the right direction.

It is also dependent on one’s expectations for “on field performance”.

Is it 10 wins and a playoff appearance?
Is it 11 wins and an SEC championship?
Is it 12-13 wins and a National Title?

If your personal expectation is the last one, you probably want to see improved recruiting - given the clear talent discrepancy we saw in our last game.

17-0 🤠

My expectations exceeded reality but I am still here, still hopeful and still optimistic about my Vols! In CJH I believe. Go Big Orange!

Who do you think will make the biggest impact on this year's team from the 2025 recruiting class: 1 from HS and 1 transfer?

For me:

High School: Travis Smith - I think he has an outstanding freshman year

Transfer: The easy answer if Joey A but I am going to go with Star Thomas - I think he will be RB1 and excel out of the backfield.

HS: Rad Jackson- kid is a walking highlight

Edit: David Sanders- nuff said

Transfer- Colton Hood- think he passes the temple transfer(🤞) and starts opposite Gibson until the Stud returns to at least 85%. Also think he picks off a few passes early that will make him hard to take off the field(looking at you Ricky Gibson)

I think Hood and McMurray will at least split time because they want McMurray to help out at Star.
