We just hired some boys that are used to getting after it. Where will we wind up? I don't know anything, and I'm saying 12th. Hoping for better of course. Wish there wasn't an early signing period.
That's a great sign, imo. I think Butch's recruiting abilities were either overrated or he's a total fraud of a coach... or maybe both. Probably both. As was joked about before, being sold on Butch was kind of a ding on a player's intellectual understanding of football.
If we wind up with a top 10 class it'll be a real accomplishment. If we get into the top 5 it'll be miraculous.
Kiffin took over a higher ranked class, didn't have the early signing day to race against, signed the number one player in the country, and finished 10th. The existing relationship these coaches have with recruits could certainly help. A top 10 finish would be a hell of a start.
are we really in with some of these new names? I don't follow recruiting too much, but seems like Pruitt bringing Sherrer over was a pretty smoothe move as far as recruiting. Not sure if he's ready for DC, but also assume its going to be a team effort with Pruitt heavily involved. We need qbs badly. Couple OL. More TE's with this group. Pruitt going to have a FB? DL coming in still decent. Badly need lbs and some ball hawks in the secondary. Not sure the last time we could describe a UT db as a ball hawk.
I'd like to see him in the box a lot. He's quick and runs downhill. If he sits back there 15-20 yards off in coverage in space, not so good. Neither is #22, but he gives his best. High school coaches teach dbs footwork and hips better than those guys have been taught
I assume that all of our db's will be doing that damn face guarding now. God, I can't stand to see that shit. bama db's never turn their heads.
