2019 Recruiting Class

Approximately 8,200 cubic inches.

 

I was told there would be no math.

 

Why don't you accept this math trophy?

 

Have seen reporters on the recruiting sites today suggest that we lead for Wright and Crouch.

That's neat.

 

Fields and McCollough possibly too

 

Also looks like we're going after 5* DT that' transferring from Clemson, Josh Belk

 

We got a CB for Crouch. The top 2 players in the entire class very well could both be Vols.

 

As long as Pruitt wins some games, it's possible

 

Has anyone ever landed the #1 and #2 overall in the same class? I am fairly certain that’s never been done.

 

Of course, we’d do it, and promptly turn in 3 straight 6-6 seasons.

 

We may go 6-6, or 7-5, but we're dang sure gonna look like a football team. I feel like it's gonna be similar to Kiffins first year. We'll have our losses, but I feel like We will play tough against everybody we play.

 

Yep. Pruitt’s 7-5 will be infinitely more fun than any of Butch’s seasons.

 

This is how I feel as well. I would love for this year's team, like in Kiffin's first year, have a break out game and just completely destroy uga.

 

Or Auburn. We owe those toilet paper twirling dough bags an L

“You know, the big thing when it comes to guys that are grad transfers is if they’ve shown the maturity to do what it takes to get their degree,” said Pruitt, who worked for Saban from 2007-09 as Alabama’s director of player development, from 2010-12 as defensive backs coach, and in 2016 and 2017 as defensive coordinator.

“Obviously, I don’t think they would be leaving a situation where they felt like they could continue to have success,” Pruitt said. “If they’ve earned their degree, in my opinion, they’ve earned the right to choose where they want to go by their maturity and the things that they’ve accomplished.”

 

Not related to this year's class, but (according to message board rumor) Pruitt beat South Carolina for John Mincey this past Spring by showing him texts from Lance Thompson begging to be on his staff. Love it.

So far I really am liking the fact that Pruitt is basically saying "screw it" I want to get kids in and win now!

 

I like that he's speaking truth to power regarding transfers, too.

 

He reminds me of what Stoops did at OU to get the ball rolling. Plug in as many holes as possible as soon as possible. (don't get excited nyy)

 

Saban retires.

Bama wooes Dabo for weeks, but can’t land him.

Panics and hires Pruitt 3 days before NSD.

The whole class goes with him.

We panic, re-hire Dooley, citing his knowledge of TN, time with Cowboys and that Mizzou had Top 100 offense in time of possession.

With only 3 days before NSD, Dooley signs 20 kids - all from East Tennessee. Extremely high character kids.

At this news, Big Arnge Nay-shun takes to the streets in celebration, and cite his “signin’ only local boys” and “love for Tennessee” as the basis for their demands that the head of General Neyland’s statue be removed and replaced with Dooley’s, instead.

Several months later, Tennessee actually does it, and all while filming it, so as to mix it with highlight film of the ‘cruits in the “all local boy class”, and releases a compilation DVD under some title like “The Boys are Back in Town!”.

DVD’s sell 18 million copies.

We lose every game for the next 4 years by an average margin of 78 points.

Fire Dooley, and hopefully just in time for Butch to have regained his luster.

Rinse. Repeat.
