Recruits on Strong

Wow! I Think we need to hold on just a day or two we are getting way ahead of ourselves on this hire. I feel Like it is Charlie's to take or leave we need to wait and see if Louisville Annie's up the money and he stays. Now I do not think that will happen however we have been left at the altar before. How is that for optimism!

Personally think Strong was hired after the Vandy game.

Also, believe he has held off some recruits that he had coming to UL so he could have them at UT.

Think he will pull quite a few really good recruits and keep the "good ones" we have now.

I expect at least a top 15 class with alot of voids on D filled.

I'm really excited about this hire and think people are going to be stunned how well he does here.

I wasn't completely sold on him at first,but after some research,i think he could potentially be a home-run hire.We all know recruiting is what can make or break a program and i believe with the resources he will have here he could haul in some great recruits.:)

Just curious Neocon, but how exactly would a coach hold off on some recruits?

Did he just not contact them? Not sure how that would help him now if he didn't even have a relationship with them.

Did he try to recruit them, but not real hard? Same issue as above.

Did he actually hint to them that he may be leaving? There is NO way this would have stayed quiet.

Just how does a coach accomplish what you are suggesting?

The same way a coach slow plays other players. It would only have started happening within the last few weeks.

If you hire Strong, it will be a great hire. You have my congratulations in advance, and I am looking forward to a really heated UF/UT rivalry.

However, holding back on recruits having accepted another job would be extremely unethical if not illegal. From what I have heard, that is not how Charlie rolls. Do you think you are hiring Lane Kiffen again?

Does Annie have deep pockets?

I heard two things in the presser that lead me to believe what I said.

1) He said there would be no firm hired for a coaching search

2) Coach would have SEC experience


None of the coaches (none of them) other than strong have this.It leads me to believe he slipped and went into Strong's resume knowing already who the hire was.


This would also explain why UL recruiting died this fall even while they are having their best year and on the way to the Sugar.

I could be wrong but the presser was weird.

Hart didn't exactly say this, but even if that's what he meant, Fedora's gig at Florida doesn't count?
