Title: 7.1.15 Post by: Creek Walker on June 23, 2015, 07:46:27 EDT After back-to-back Top 5 recruiting classes, our first class under the Nike brand is currently ranked No. 20 according to Rivals.com.
Someone needs to let these recruits know that they're supposed to be knocking down the door to come to Tennessee now that we're a Nike school. :laugh: Title: Re: 7.1.15 Post by: PirateVOL on June 23, 2015, 10:13:49 EDT Well, wait till the last 10-15 are added, oh wait :powert:

In all seriousness, I wouldn't put it past Butch (or Nike) to have a few silent commits waiting in the wings that they're putting off until 7/1.

Will be nice to have 2-3 deep at every position with talent. Looking back, man do you realize how stacked some of those late '90's teams were? Some of those teams look like an NFL roster.

Over the past five recruiting cycles, only one team has been in the top 5 every year. I'll give you three guesses who that is, and the first two don't count. Hooray for roster management. :rolleyes: We probably only have about 20 schollys (at most) to give this year, so even if we get every target on our board, we're not likely to end up in the top 5. The quantity isn't going to be like the past two years, but I'm sure we'll all be satisfied with the quality when all is said and done.

Hopefully the average star rating is up and we address needs. |
