Please get over it guys. Stop trying to sell kids on tradition. This tradition is the tradition of the University of Tennessee not these kids. Kids want to win a rightfully so. We dont deserve not one 5 star 4star or any top recruit until we do so.

Eat too many of these? My head hurts from reading this.

I agree, you have to show signs of winning and make progress, but if you are saying that knowing that a school puts players in the NFL doesn't play a factor in some kid's minds at all than you are overlooking some aspects of recruiting my friend.

Well that too is apart of our TRADITION what happened in the years ago. I sure NFL scouts are give anyone any preferential treatment because they wore orange in college they are looking for the best players no matter where they attended school. Tennessee fans think way to highly of themselves. Come back to earth it's ok to have pride but we need to allow this time humble ourselves. Cause bama, UGA, Fla, USC all have a better track record of putting player in the NFL as of recent.

Tell me a more well known qb in the NFL right now that any of those teams have sent to the NFL. Also tell me a top rb that all recruits have heard of from those teams that is currently in the NFL. You can't.

Yeah they go where the talent is, but I have a history in college athletics not particularly in soley football, but in Strength and Conditioning. I have talked with NFL Scouts, and while they look for the talent, they also take into account every aspect of a college athletes life. There are a ton of support structures in a college environment and they all fit together to make a better athlete i.e (Academic support, Weight rooms, nutrition) just to name a few. These are all aspects of a college that are only improved upon despite coaching turnover or your record. So again I'm saying if you say it doesn't play any role at all I'm gonna give you a :salute: and just agree you don't have the necessary intelligence/background to have this conversation.
