This class is about fitting the scheme and culture. It won’t approach top 15. Better hit on evaluations.
We made up a lot of ground thanks to Mack and Burns. He was one of the kids headed to Bama with Simpson at one point.

All business. No fun. Limited personal relationships and life talks outside of football. Treated them like pros instead of college kids. Ate too much.
Is it heating up? Is it becoming apparent that you can be an underclassman starter in the SEC if you come here? And that UT is years ahead on the NIL situation?
If we get to the Florida game with no losses and a commit from Nolen, we'll have a top 12 class. Quote me on it.
Nolen moved to Knoxville to get his NIL relationships built before college. More recruits will do this in the future.
I think this had a lot to do with Walls moving to Knoxville. Will be curious to see if he ends up landing a gig at UT..I think there has to be a 2 year buffer since he was Nolen's HC.
