Will Jackson

Tahj Boyd was obviously a mistake by Kiffin but not offering Will Jackson was another. I can't complain about our current OL but back in 2009 we had basically no offensive line and only signed 2 OL in that class with one of them being Revis. I'm not saying Jackson is an AA or anything but he was 2nd team all ACC and could have added solid depth here if nothing else. Shaq Mason from Columbia is going to be even better but I don't blame UT for not taking him since we signed several good OL in 2011.

As a college QB I would but it wasn't either/or for Kiffin. Tahj Boyd was already solidly committed when Kiffin took over and he wasn't going anywhere until Kiffin told him to get lost. Personally I think Tahj Boyd is a much better leader and would have been a better influence on the team then Bray. Tahj Boyd certainly looks better under pressure they Bray. jmo though doesn't mean I'm right

Because recruiting history is interesting to discuss that's why.

No doubt. I love "what ifs". What if I bought that winning lotto ticket instead of the one that was garbage.

What if I had a porche instead of an accord

What if I had a 15" pecker

What if the Vols won 10 games this year.

What if the Vols actually had a streak of good luck

I don't play lotto. Waste of money.

I'd trade it in for a car built in the USA.

It's pretty cool actually. But sometimes gets in the way.

I'd be at their bowl game today.

We get some bada** recruits come feb.

"Good Luck" is an old wooden ship used during the Civil War correct?

Yeah there are so many players that we either didn't offer, or were once committed to TN, or we couldn't get them after we were in their top 2/3 schools.....It really hurts to watch it play out, meanwhile TN has kept losing....

Guys we really didn't offer include Will Jackson, Cobb, Patrick Willis, many others from state of TN that became SEC/ D1 stars or NFL players.....

Guys that were once committed include Tahj Boyd, DJ Swearinger, DT Shackleford, Aubrey Phillips, Jermaine Copeland, Michael Taylor, and so many more.....

Guys that we were close to getting include Demps, Lemonier, Gabe Wright, Dawson, Christian Harris, and many more....

With all the players that Kiffin and Dooley ran off, the results have been poor... David Oku, Bryce Brown, Darick, BJ Coleman, Darren Myles, Ramon Johnson, and so many more.....

Let's hope that Butch will do 3 things better than the 2 regimes before: (and fulmer's last few years)

1. Evaluate all in-state talent better, and take 8-10 players/ year (more or less) who can play big-time SEC ball, and become studs

2. Keep players engaged in the program in they can help out, if not then they can leave to open schollies up if they will never play

3. Once you get in the players top 2/3 choices for where to go to school, Butch needs to close hard!! Winning and establishing a program will help, but so will superior salesmanship done with character...... I think in 3 years we will realize Butch was the right guy!!
