It won’t just be the losses.
It won’t just be the blowouts.
It will be what comes with it.
For us hardcore fans, there will be the pain of the ridicule and fake pity of opposing fan bases.
For the players, all of the losses will add up physically and emotionally and the inevitable finger pointing and locker room upheaval will ensue.
But, the most important thing for the long term health of our program is this.
Trying to keep our highest level four star commits to stick with us and to cobble together a 15-20 type rated recruiting class.
Our best commits will undoubtedly be deluged with anti UT texts, phone calls, etc. trying to convince them that we are a lost cause and that Pruitt is not someone they should play for.
Pruitt and most of this staff are proven big winners on the field and in living rooms. But, I doubt many have faced the level of adversity that will come with a potential 3-4 win season that includes multiple blowouts to our rivals.
Their recruiting talents will be tested more than anytime in most of their careers.
I hope they can handle it.
We desperately need big time talent and we need it as soon as possible. Go Vols. I’m with you and will pull hard for you thru our coming storms.
