Team Rankings

[knoxville's finest]

Tennessee is currently 17th in team recruiting rankings. If Kiffin is hired can we finish in the top ten aleast?

 

[VOLNBAMA]

no doubt we can, Coach O should bring in some good defensive prospects.

If they can speak caveman

 

[chavisut]

Yes, I'd say we finish right around 10th. If the announcement is made on the 1st, that would leave Kiffen plenty of time.

 

[thunder5]

If it is indeed Kiffin...there's a chance we pull back Giles and it gives us a good chance with Brown...

I also think it will solidify the current commits that are possibly wavering(whether its publically or privately) since our current staff has completely dropped the ball on recruiting...

Then with a solid staff in place(such as Orgeron, Reaves, Drayton, Scott and Norton Jr.) we go land some big guys like Moses, White and possibly a few stud defenders left on the board...

I could definitely see us going up to 8-10 in the rankings

 

[chavisut]

We won't keep Drayton. There is probably a small chance we keep Scott.

 

[VOLNBAMA]

say what you want but the man can recruit.

No doubt...it's just too easy to take jabs at him...

Did you ever see the car commercial Orgeron did while he was HC at Ole Miss...

It was a classic

I agree with you completely except I think we could do a little better than 10th. No matter what it will be a good class.

Weren't we 10 before losing Oku and Giles? I think we'll end up around 7 or 8. Possibly even higher if we get Moses/Brown/or Te'o

Te'o will NEVER come to K-town.

 

[bburger991]

Te'o will NEVER come to K-town.

You never know. I thought I heard someone mention that Kiffin has some Hawaii connection and has already called him.

wouldn't want Te'o in k-town. It would be Mapu all over again.

If the #1 MLB wants to come here, I'd at least make room for him.

Is he still a possibility? I kinda thought we had taken a back seat to some other schools.

I think we're in his final grouping with Alabama, Florida, and Ohio State. That's his top 4 really, and then WVU, Virginia Tech, Georgia, and Florida State are a lot farther back.

 

[bburger991]

Also, he was pretty interested in who we were going to hire, so I think Kiffin would be a good thing for him.

 

[bignewt]

I wonder if Giles will think about coming back now?

 

[govols182]

Well, Reggie Bush was recruited as an APB, and Giles is an APB.

 

[BIG GUY]

do you really want him. NO LOYALTY

 

[chavisut]

do you really want him. NO LOYALTY

how dare some 17/18 year old kid change his mind or even consider changing his mind.

 

[BIG GUY]

One word ego thinks he can commit decommitt like it is a game

 

[chavisut]

How is that an ego thing. He hasn't signed any papers.

 

[BIG GUY]

Committ here comitt there that is a bunch of bs!

 

[bignewt]

i can get why he would feel unsettled by the Fulmer firing. I'd give him an opportunity to return if he wanted to. If not, good luck being a gamecock. Seriously.
