Rivals Team Recruiting Rankings Released.

different era back then. a lot more of the top guys commit early now.

 

Well as a positive, listening to JC "orange" sherbert this morning. He said that Tennessee HS talent is really deep for the next couple of years and the Vols should sign about 80-90% of those players. Unless Dooley lets Milk Dud Franklin continue to out recruit for instate talent again

 

You mean like in 2007 when we had our highest rated players commit between December and Signing Day? Or 2004? Top rated players committed early back then as well.

 

It didn't matter last year, it won't this year.

We'll still get the mediocre to good recruiting class we've come to expect from CDD.

 

They're in on some really, really good players. If Dooley could somehow snag that Green kid and a couple of the others, we'll immediately go way up in the rankings. How realistic that is I have no idea.

 

I posted one of the highlight videos on Green and think he will be a stud. Hopefully he'll be a stud here...

 

I think it is born of envy.

 

Lose to NC State and all of those big time recruits stop answering calls.

 

Once Dooley gets canned we'll go from a mediocre recruiting class to a WTF class.

 

The right hire makes that problem go away.

 

It all depends on the hire and who stays. Keep Jay Graham, maybe Hinshaw, Sunseri and Ansley (which is what I see happening if Smart is hired), you keep the class relatively stable.

 

graham is a must keep

 

Kinda why I'm hoping for a large instate pull. Easier to hold onto.

 

You're probably right, but I'd rather see a more qualified coach bring in his own staff instead of just going with the stability route, even if it means possibly taking a hit on a class.

 

Agree. I mean, obviously keep guys he liked (which should include Graham), but don't keep guys just for stability's sake.

 

Me too, I'm just saying if Smart is the guy, the staff will be relatively stable.

 

I would say whoever it is, graham will probably stick around unless he and the incomer hate each other.

 

Yeah, Graham will be here in 2013 unless he chooses not to be

 

Did LWS hack groves account?

 

Hahaha.

The only way Graham leaves is on his own terms, I guess is a better way to put it. It will be his choice, not the next HC if a change is made after this season.
