That mindset is the reason why Tennessee is "hoping" for a bowl bid to the Music City Bowl. You sign players who can play. Rod Wilks is a product of the shambles Phillip Fulmer left in his latter years as Head Coach. There were a number of players signed that should NOT have been given scholarships to Tennessee. Plain and simple. They were signed out of necessity because Fulmer could not sign anyone better. Please stop with the BS of "He loves Tennessee and Bleeds Orange", or "He's a local Product" crap. It does no good to sign a lesser player just to sign him and then recruit over him the next five years. Remember, when you sign a kid. You have him for 4-5 years. Rod would have done much Better at a smaller school where his talents could have been utilized. He knows this as well.
