VN will find a way too. I am sure the Seahawks fans felt the same way till their last offensive play last night.

We always find a way to come up with a negative. We could win a game by 70 and someone on here would find fault with the play calling.

Too much John Adams influence around! Mr. Negative! UT could go 15-0 without giving up a point, first down or yard & he'd find fault! All should be positive on Rocky Top from now on!!! GO VOLS!!

The Best part of all of this, and our signing class specifically, is all the talent we already have on the roster just starting to get their feet wet and develop! Mosley, Creamer, Bates, etc..... There's no doubt we are gonna have some serious talent in just about every area of the field.
If this class holds true and we get Richmond and/or Allen, I say we load up on DBs/S next season and be done with it!

It will be nice to be able to focus a little bit more on the traditional skill positions.

My perfect class next year, assuming we sign 23:

1 QB
2 RB
4 WR
2 TE
3 OL
3 DL
2 LB
3 CB
3 S

CB should be a focus, with Cam being a JR and Martin is a JUCO...and we aren't quite as deep there.

Safety is a bit thin after McNeil and Randolph leave. We have a few good looking guys there, especially Kelly Jr., but we need to bring in 2-3 more next year.

That looks pretty good to me too my friend.

The really good thing is that if buTch can pull in a really good recruiting class next year then we'll be pretty stacked and we'll finally have a pretty fair recruiting rotation back in place.

Getting the rotation back in place faster than I thought he could will also mean we'll then have to try to recruit top players that will also understand having to redshirt or wait longer for playing time and that's a tough task since all really good recruits want playing time fast.

Being stacked at every position can become both good and maybe bad for top recruiting but it'll be great to have top talent all over the field again and watch the Wins add up.

I think Coach Fulmer gave CBJ some advise about O-lineman last year. And CBJ is showing that he's taking Coach Fulmer's advise. And we're about to bring Richmond home. GBO

WOW, we knew there was a possibility this could happen. But if he faxes his sheet in that would be the best class UT have had in years, now we need to get that same results on the field which I have no doubt it will. Just think the leaders we will have in the near future with these recruits calling out teams, nothing more than a drive they will have on the field.

According to Scout.com, this will be the best class we've had in the 13 years Scout has been grading recruits....without DR. next would have been Lame Kiffins class (which fell apart), then Fulmers 2002 class.

It also said that we have the nations top QB class of the year.

Scary to think how much better Richmond, KMac and Tuttle going against each other all the time their improvements will be.

They'll all make each other much better over the next few years.

I almost pity the guys on other teams that will have to go up against these guys...almost, LOL!

Its fun to watch the power orange phoenix rise from the ashes of Hamiltonism, Dooleyism and Kiffinism.

Not to be a party pooper, but the Vol's must win on the field now or at least by 2016, NO?

Well...yeah. But there is no reason to think that they won't. There is no reason to expect fewer than 8 wins next year. And there is no reason to expect fewer than 10 in 2016. That counts as winning.

I know that Drew Richmond is not in the bag yet, but all signs are pointing that way.

If we add him, we will have the best offensive and defensive line class in the country.

With Drew we will have 5 linemen in the top 130 players overall on 247.

With Drew our offensive and defensive line commits total 209.11 points. That would, by itself, give us the 28th best class in the country, right in between Missouri and Miami.

We know that in the SEC all of the skill players in the world don't mean anything unless you have strong offensive and defensive lines. Butch is on track to make sure that we don't have to worry about that any longer.

Thats crazy, thanks for the research.

Is anyone worried that Drew Richmond and Coach Freeze refollowed each other on twitter tonight? This kid seems indecisive.

In before ...
"No. We'll still be the youngest team in the nation each of those years, have 36 member recruiting classes, and 16-20 transfers at the end of each season."

I don't wanna think about losing Cam. Hopefully he's so vol that he stays for Sr year
