'22 TN DT Walter Nolen (Ole Miss)

We should start having a better shot at East Tennessee talent after this year. Gaddis finally stepping down at Oak Ridge will help immensely there. A shame that we've had multiple high four and five star players in the local area but none sign here the last few years. That should soon go back to being unheard of for the most part.
 
Ya who cares. If he wanted the best coaching he’d have come here. RG is the best if the best. But this kid was so in love with the attention etc. Just si weird for a kid in east tn to go to that cult that is A&M

A&M signed, what, 4 of the top 5 DL in the nation this year? Must have a DL specific NIL package coming down the pike. What's gonna be funny is watching them go 9-3/8-4 the next few years. Jimbo's FSU run is clearly becoming the outlier in his career.

According to Ainge a lot of the big NIL deals kids sign have playing requirements . Part of the reason Ewers transferred from Ohio State .

Whatever the capacity is next year, as long as we're all fine being realistic in saying that every game won't be a sellout, we need to start giving free tickets to local-ish high/middle/elementary schools to help drum interest and passion back up to an acceptable level.

Or....we could just keep doing what we just did, pull recruits from all the states.

If so, doesn’t make sense that he enrolled there in the first place…especially in the Summer.

As a rule, it should be much much easier and require less time and resources to sign players who are 25 miles from campus. That's a huge huge boon we haven't taken advantage of recently because we have had terrible coaches.
