Finally a coach at Tennessee is going after the in state talent.
UT got 6 of the top 8 prospects in the state.

How are we doing on the recruiting trail? Does anybody know if Butch has a target area to get studs from? Just trying to get caught up.

No, no, no! Sounds like you are wanting to peak under the covers!

And we should be able to get any QB we want. Too talented at WR and TE. Plus what kid wouldn't want to learn from the best ever......Peyton Manning.

Tennessee is #2 in ESPN's rankings. :hi:

I was just looking at a list of 2014 in-state recruits & we have #1-4 committed & 6 of the Top 10. Don't think Butch could have done any better in state. 2015 is starting good too.

Those other four t'wrent raised right. :bottom:

Tennessee has 7 of the top 10 players in Tennessee committed.

So you are saying there is room for improvement?

Excellent post "NickCarner". That a real good summary and assessment. I also liked how you tried to control the possibility of over expectations. This class brings a huge increase in speed to the roster. Once these talented players have integrated into the roster, we will be a much more competitive team. Once again, good summary.

A point that often gets overlooked in projections of early playing time for the 2014 class is that returning starters will experience an "addition by subtraction" benefit. Butch commented early in the 2013 season on the inordinately high number of snaps that individual players, particularly on defense, had to play per game. He also hinted at the dire consequences of that unavoidable strategy. This year, the same players should be more effective and less prone to injury, simply because there are talented backups, albeit inexperienced and very young ones, who can effectively spell the upperclassmen.

Thanks for reading. I think the infusion of young blood will help spur some very healthy competition. The calvary is indeed on its way.

I thought it was 7 of the top 10, and those three weren't raised right.

Also, for the original poster, please check out PassedOutAwake's weekly recruiting updates; they are extremely thorough.

POAs weekly update is the bomb
