Who do you think the vols best recruiter is?

I really only know of CLT and CJC. Everyone else I have no clue about. I think the last staff attracted a different breed of kids. This is telling by who they recruited and who they dismissed from the team last year. James Stone jumping on board after they left is telling, too. I'm not saying this in a negative connotation. Another thing, I think this staffs ability to spot talent will be good, considering a lot of these coaches came from schools who had to pick the best from the rest. Wilcox, Dooley.

Care to explain? I think they are pretty dang close! Last year everyone was saying the previous staff were just a bunch of good recruiters but couldn't coach. Now I think we have a good balance. We have people that will do things the RIGHT way. But think what you want. I don't even know why I really waste my time.

Best recruiters right now on staff....

Thompson and Chaney

Best chance at being the best by this time next year....

Thompson and Smith, with Wilcox a close second.

Most of the rest of the staff will do well too, I just think those 3 are going to be the best this time next year.
