Trent Dilfer praises Heupel’s recruiting methods

[NighthawkVol]

Trent Dilfer offers 'unique perspective' on Josh Heupel's recruiting ability

“And that’s more than talent. You need to understand that. There are tons of talented kids out there. They are everywhere. The streets are littered with them — meaning they don’t make it. Because they don’t have it up here (head) and up here (heart), what it takes to be a big-time collegiate football player. And the University of Tennessee has recognized that. And they’re recruiting the right kind of kid as well as the right kind of athlete.”

We are building serious momentum. I bet the recruiting office was busy today!

After years of being a dumpster fire, we need all the positive press we can get. More please.....

Nolan commit would be great this week or before OM game

He won’t commit until esd at the earliest because he’s waiting to see how big the offer gets.

A lot of talent will be in future classes at Lipscomb Academy. This is very good to hear. We just have to do what Vol fans are worst at, and that's being patient.

I’ll just leave this here.

Trent Dilfer has high praise for Pruitt's program

 

[Buddr]

I tend to agree with Dilfer. UT has had some really good recruiting classes under the last several HC's and still had losing seasons.

To be fair everyone had high praise for Pruitt coming off the finish he had to the season 2 years ago

A whole slew of Pilot Oil stations?

So 5 star heart is back!

Or see what A&M offers. See if bama and georgia want to match. He’s a highest bidder recruit. Good news is that 2 of those schools may decide they like what they have at a lower price.

There are no lousy commies on Tennessee's staff. Not one!

We’ll don’t you know how to kill what seemed like good vibes?

 

[bigl3327]

This is good because when you're trying to rebuild, you can't have a lot of misses due to a lack of maturity or character issues. 4 and 5 stars only matter if they stay in your program 3-5 years.

Facts, I would be stoked right now. This is going to be the Tennessee's powerhouse that recruits kids from all across the nation it seems like. Would be nice to get some guys like the Spillman brothers, Kaleb Beasley, etc from here in the future

Didn't we hear the same thing when Butch Jones was here? Until we make a serious bowl (Cotton, Sugar etc) and play in the SEC championship game then I will reserve judgement. I'll admit it is an improvement over losing to Georgia St. and the likes, but still a ways to go.

Butch Jones was an amazing recruiter. Just couldn't develop talent, hurt his players with his way too physical practices, and created a bad culture.

 

[MontyPython]

Pruitt took raw talent and molded it into a steaming pile of donkey &#%!.

Huepel took the talent he inherited and seems to be molding it into... something... better.

Probably.

Maybe.

Hopefully.

Meeehhh who knows.

Offers won't stop coming just because he's committed. If Nolen commits to ANYWHERE, and Saban truly wants him, you think he stops just because of a "commitment"? Kirby, Kiffin? NEVER stop recruiting the players you truly want. Be relentless until the ink is dry.

Considering this is a coach who’s Elite 11 QB we haven’t offered (yet), that’s high praise

The list of 4 and 5 star kids who didn't make it due to character issues is pretty long. Oklahoma is down to 2 scholarship RBs (one is Gray, used to be UT's) because one kid transferred in from LSU and then transferred back to LSU last month. Another is charged with armed robbery from a drug deal gone bad with two other former OU players. It's hard enough to win without shooting yourself in the foot by brining in trouble.

We are building a fighting force of extraordinary magnitude. We forge our tradition in the spirit of our ancestors. You have our gratitude.

Just Look at Butch Jones‘ classes and you will see this writ large
