The one concern about Heupel was his recruiting and it’s a legit concern.

I think overall Heupel is doing a great job recruiting. That said we’ve struggled at landing some specific positions and that’s an issue if we continue to struggle at CB, interior Dline and even Oline IMO. Definitely not ready to hit the panic button bc we’re doing better on the field and in recruiting than I thought we would be at this point into the Hype Era but I think it’s perfectly acceptable to question some of our struggles.

I really do believe we are ahead of schedule on the field and recruiting wise. If we lose these battles in a year or 2 I will be worried.

A lot of this investigation and punishment BS will be in the rear view. It’s been used against us a lot in negative recruiting. Also it’s hopeful that Heupel will have another year of winning, putting kids in the league, building relationships with these kids and their families.

Not knocking you specifically, many have said it, but how could the NCAA investigation really be used negatively against UT?

Kids know the NCAA ain’t gonna do squat. They could care less what CJP did three years ago. It’s a brand new staff. Not going to be a bowl ban. UT has already reduced scholarships. What? Forfeit three freaking wins from CJPs last year…..ha

The recruiting has been just fine. Ramil really the only one that I'm placing the blame on us. Can't do anything more with Lucas Simmons, Wilkin Formby, Jeremiah Cobb, Carnell Tate, Kyler Kasper, Malik Benson, Tavion Gadson, Rico Walker, CJ Allen, Justin Jefferson, Ja'Keem Jackson, Rickey Gibson III if he goes to UGA, and Jordan Matthews. We have to produce on the field more first

“Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Georgia, LSU, NC State, Ohio State, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia are my top schools,” Pringle told On3.

AUBURN: “I visited the first time over the summer and I got to meet coach Friend, coach Harsin, and I really enjoyed it. It is a beautiful campus and I really liked it. I got to tour the campus, see the facilities, and I really liked it there. Spending time with the coaches and building on my relationships has helped Auburn make the list.”

CLEMSON: “I camped there early and they made me a top priority early. With their philosophy, they didn’t offer until this past summer, but they told me early that it was coming. Coach Caldwell recruited me first, then coach Austin came in and he never missed a beat. I like my visits up there and how the coaches have gotten to know me.”

FLORIDA: “Florida was my dream school growing up. Jawaan Taylor is my cousin and he played at Florida. I have always liked them and followed them. Growing up, I always thought I would commit on the spot if I got the offer. I got the offer after camping there my freshman year. They showed me a lot of attention. The old staff was great and the new staff has not missed a beat. The new staff has been to see me a couple of times and they have made sure I know I am a priority.”

GEORGIA: “Georgia was first to offer me. I know coach Gordon a lot and I have a strong relationship with coach Searels. As soon as coach Searels went to Georgia from North Carolina, he made me a top priority. Coach Searels is great, coach Smart does a great job, and I think almost my entire family has visited there. They have been solid with me from the beginning.”

LSU: “LSU is the only school I have not visited yet. I have talked to coach Davis over the phone a good bit and he has been to my school a couple of times. He is a really good offensive line coach and he as is big on recruiting his guys. For him to come check on me all the way from Baton Rouge is telling. Coach Kelly has hit me up too and I could see myself taking a visit there.”

NC STATE: “I have visited NC State once and my grandma and sister were with me. Coach Doeren does a really good job of being a family man. My grandma really liked him. I got to spend a day there and get to meet with the coaches. I sat in on meetings and I like it there. NC State is like a big underdog in my recruitment because they don’t get a lot of four-star and five-star recruits. It is a school I really like though.”

OHIO STATE: “With Ohio State, it really started with coach Sollenne, a graduate assistant. He was at Florida when they started recruiting me and he saw me when I camped there. Coach Frye got there and I went up there and spent time with him and coach Day. I spent a couple of days around Ohio State when I visited and I really enjoyed it. The atmosphere is good and I really like the people.”

SOUTH CAROLINA: “South Carolina was one of the first schools to offer me. They got on me early and they are close to home. They have done a great job recruiting me and my family. The fan base is really strong and loyal, so that stands out. I have been there a lot and I will be back this weekend. The coaches are great men and keep their word.”

TENNESSEE: “I have visited Tennessee twice. I really like the staff. They have been down to check on me and the coaches hit me three to four times each week. It is a cool place and I like coach Ellerbe, coach Heupel, and some other coaches. It is another school I am considering big-time.”

VIRGINIA: “Coach Tony Elliott got to know me when he was at Clemson, so that relationship carried over to him being the coach at Virginia. I got to visit up there this summer it was nice up there. The campus was one of the best I have visited. They are a program coming up and I see coach Elliott doing good things there.”

I just saw this. Don’t think it’s totally accurate because he talks about visiting other schools this season but is interesting he’s been here three times.

Curious the difference between OV and UOV. I do know that OV expenses are paid by school but what other perks are there?
