Vols up to 15th in recruiting

[malibuvol]

A&M's defensive coordinator left for Cutcliffe's job at Duke. I wonder if that will make a certain 5 star d.l. reconsider.

Plus, another 5-star DT decommitted from OK, and committed to A&M...Maybe this may help us as well...

Top 12 class, you heard it here first

 

[VolDaddy61]

Heup is a year ahead of schedule imo. If he can land us a top 15 class and kill it in the portal we are a dark horse in the East next season. Haven't felt this optimistic in a long while

If Tennessee lands a top five "portal class", they'll be in a New Year's Six game next year.

We don't have time to wait on younger guys. If the offense is going to carry us, we need guys who are physically ready to play immediately on defense. Doesn't mean don't recruit defenders, but the attention should be on experienced transfers and Juco until we can get our roster balanced out. This gives those mid tier recruits on defense an opportunity to develope while we try to win now. I believe we are one 9-10 win season away from the flood gates opening for us on the National recruiting stage.

I agree 100% with this.

We are about to find out what kind of coach Dabo really is now?

Think if he's built his staff right, there's a few waiting in the wings. Clemson not used to a few "off years". If they were in SEC this year, they probably wouldn't be bowl eligible. Easier to hide in ACC and be modestly good while rebuilding. I DO think we start to regain some of our ground back we lost against Clemson...they fall, we rise.

When all is said and done we will be inside the top 15 outside chance we get to 10.GBO!

Big boys always load up on NSD. We may end up between 12-15.

 

[volinvegas]

Just to be clear, we are UP to 15th, and thats National? And people are concerned if Hype can recruit? And I've said it before, but Clemson is going back to being a doormat, but theybhad a good run.

We may also find out about Kirby. He just lost his defensive coordinator

Kirby is the defensive coordinator. That was proven a couple years ago when they lost Mel Tucker and didn't miss a beat, as long as Kirby is there UGA will have a good defense. Fortunately, Kirby doesn't have the same knack for offense.

This is last year's.

Yes, it is even worse this year!

I am not trying to say who is at fault, just there is a big issue with in state recruits..

 

[TitanicVolz]

The fact that UT has SUCKED and let's not mention the bs that's sourrounded the program the last 10 years,why anyone is surprised were not landing instate recruits is kinda puzzling.It just is what it is right now,gotta let Hype build those relationships and kids wanna see us imporve first.I mean it's really that simple.

Home state school has to have stability and a coaching staff that prioritizes the home state. We now have both so I guarantee you it will get better.

If you want me to take a dump in a box, and mark it guaranteed I will. I've got spare time.

 

[VolsnRavens]

On offense this coach simply needs a strong/good online and a good QB and the scheme will make the WRs and RBs look like nfl caliber.

Eventually the classes will get to were they are stacked top to bottom but this year top 15 is fine and honestly put us in great shape as long as Hooker returns.

I think we’re good there. I heard his web presence is strong…..

 

[spyfish007]

There are plenty of in state kids that don't want to play for TN for one reason or another including they have heard about TN for years and just over it. Sure I want in state kids IF they bleed orange and are VFLs because what I really want are kids that are excited about UT.

Such a classic movie and line.

Still time to flip some of them. Let's see how it plays out.

You can’t pin that on current staff, they didn’t have time to get those guys so many were saying ‘22 was going to be a washout in-state with the top 10.

Those USPS flat rate boxes can be a good deal.

Muschamp is there. Should not hurt them at all.

 

[rocytop2624]

Wrong, Dabo always did more with less *'s until recent years. They'll probably be just fine.

until the playoffs then he had a good DC and Watson and Lawrence.

Adonai Mitchell made plays against us this year too. That always hurts.

I live in the upstate of SC and have to listen to the "Clempson" apologists constantly. I like Dabo and think he is a solid coach, a CEO type. But my feeling is that he is going to be tempted to promote from within to replace his OC/DC this year. And there are no rising stars on his staff in my view. Big risk if he hires from inside.
