Vols debut at #5 in Rivals '15 team rankings

[triad280]

I was just picking at Ron...I thought it was funny about the whole fishing
for likes thing... We used to not even have likes... I wouldn't know 1/5th about these
if not Ron...

and Rivals 1st list is pathetic... its like a Bizarro alternate universe list...

lol @ fishing for likes. I've been doing what I do long before likes were introduced to this board. I couldn't care less about likes.

Not to nitpick, but did you have another name on here before this one?

I thought likes were already around in March 2012, but I could be wrong.

Cecil Cherry, #9 ILB

Preston Williams, #16 WR

Dylan Jackson, #26 SDE

Zach Stewart, #21 OG

Jaylond Woods, not in top 50 ATH

Some of this is just a tad ridiculous. If Preston Williams and cherry bomb are not 5*'s (or at minimum high end 4-5*'s), then rivals can just keep on going the way of not being relevant. Butcher should have a legitimate shot a a 5 star too. I understand that all services give preference to recruits that communicate through them, but this is almost laughable. I really try not to be too much of a homer, but at this point Cherry and Williams should be legitimate contenders for #1 and LB and WR respectively. I don't care who they've communicated through or who they've camped with. They are absolutely game changing beasts at their positions!

Rivals, get on board or GTFO!

I'm sure this has been talked about ad nasuem, but there is no effing way this class has 15 recievers better than P Williams. Everywhere he's gone he's been the best receiver and one of the most impressive athletes. He's a top 100 player at the least and Rivals knows it. They'll probably make a dick move and wait until the All American game when he balls out and shows why two services already have him rated a 5*. He's going to be extremely fun to watch.

Just wanna take time outta my day to say:

Ron Swanson is my hero

What in the world makes you think he will pull off eight wins?

Have you seen their OOC schedule?

Idaho (Bad team)
Eastern Michigan (Arguably the worst football team in D1)
Eastern Kentucky (Louisville played them last year and the game was over before halftime.)
Florida State (The only challenging OOC opponent on their schedule)

I don't know why people are just writing UF off all of a sudden because of 1 bad season. It's highly unlikely they will suffer through what we have. They are still UF and even with their horrible season still managed to land the #8 class for 2014.

Agree 1000%. Muschamp is not a good head coach but Florida is still Florida. They suffered an incredible amount of injuries last year all over the field.

And how in the world can we as Vols fans, who've lost 9 in a row to those guys, be slamming them as losers and saying they suck and won't win 5 games next year. Anyone on here who posts that sounds like a sorry Vandy fan talking smack to UT right now IMO. I don't get it. I'll get back in the "talking smack to/about Florida" game after we actually beat them a time or two.... but not now.
