The final 8

God I hate seeing this. With names like Turman, Ngakoue, Kohler (sp?), Lawson, Green, North, Rumph, Strong, Turman, Crayton, Bell, Gray, Jackson, Johnson, and Garland very interest in Tennessee it is appalling me to know that we have players like Kendrick and Barnes committed.

I know it's not likely that Patrick will make it in and that'll give us a spot to work with but I'm sure there are names out there we haven't even heard yet that will show interest in us before NSD. I just don't understand why we take so many early commits (other than the mandatory summer melt downs for lack thereof).

Amen to that. It is Dooley's biggest fault as a recruiter. The sad part is that for most of these kids that he takes early would be just as thrilled to get a UT offer in December. There is no reason to offer them and take their commitment so early in the recruiting cycle.

i agree but if you see a diamond in the rough and offer before he has a crazy senior year then it can go a long way. but that happens maby 1 out of every 25 kids.
