Kirby went 8-5 his first year, lost to Vandy, and signed the no 3 class in the country after that season.

You are welcome to compare the instate talent between Tennessee and Georgia but that wouldn’t fit your argument

Tickled to damn death he picked the Vols

 

[BreatheUT]

Just curious where is 1000% on the certainty scale for a recruit now days?

Somewhere between 0 and not on campus yet.

I noticed that one myself. He could still become a good player, very good I might add if he develops. It just means he's not ready to play though at 205lb.

Welcome to Big Orange Country young man !! Excited to have you here.

Uh huh and you probably believe we should be going head to head with UGA/Bama and winning. In a dream world that would be true but other than playing time we have nothing but hope to offer and that isn’t a winning strategy for most 4/5 star recruits. We are going to have to prove it on the field first

I do believe that Tennessee can compete with recruiting four and five star players. There is recent evidence for that. It’s sells itself. The question is whether CJH can recruit at that level. I’m not sure he can but I also don’t think he has to. He seems to be someone that can do more with less. Hopefully he doesn’t have to and that less becomes more. If this is the case, it’s going to be an amazing ride.

What's your point?

You don’t understand this fanbase though after year 2 or 3 of Heupel some fans won’t be happy finishing so far behind Georgia and Bama in recruiting and 8-5 seasons. They will expect a East title by 2024. Remember we ran a coach off here because a 8-4 record wasn’t good enough anymore

What coach did we run off with a 8-4 record?

Last I heard, FL didn't recruit during the season. No doubt they were waiting until next Sunday.

Ten times less likely to de-commit than someone only 100% committed. Come on dude, simple math 😋

Kirby didn’t walk into a dumpster fire with looming NCAA issues. Apples and Oranges.

Reading this thread you would think half of this forum would prefer us to lose every week.

You noticed that. So did I. Welcome, fellow troll lol

 

[stevenrich2003]

Whatever happened to the " he is a 3 star, don't want " comments? I scrolled all of the way through the first page and did not see a single one. Volnation must be watching too much CNN or something.

Totally kidding. Glad he is a vol. Looks like a player. Welcome to Rocky Top young man!

That is a fair assessment. 8-4 isn’t good enough. If the record of results show a HC’s ceiling is 8-4, it’s time to move on. I will never be satisfied with 8-4. I might not even be satisfied with the way we win some games. The only reason we haven’t been firing coaches any faster is that too many thought that which ever one could learn and develop as a HC. None have since Fulmer.

I agree 8-4 will get you fired at Tennessee.

He took 10 of the top 15 in GA in that class. If Heupel could do the same thing here in TN we would be in great shape. As of today we don't have one. Maybe Stoops will take the LSU job. He has 3 of our top 15. As for Kirby he likes Tennessee's talent as he is getting our top running back from Murfreesboro. Saban is getting our top QB and Jimbo took our top player out of Knoxville Powell. Ohio St is taking our 2nd best rb (Aaron Hayden's son). Lots of talent here now. Things can still change and hoping they will. This would be the first year we didnt get one of our top 10 players to my knowledge. We must close the border.

Kirby didn't have an NCAA investigation hanging over him either.
