Dan Brooks gets a lot of Tennessee players, or such is the scuttlebutt. One more legacy of the botched Fulmer hiring.
Here is the bitter pill for me....Clemson is everything Tennessee could have been.
Tahj Boyd had a lot to do with starting Clemson down the path of being a national power. And he was committed to Fulmer. Then we hired Lame, and he ran him off (or so Lame says...I still think Boyd told Lame to eff off).
If Fulmer had stayed, or if we had made a better pick, who knows what might have happened. It's as if Clemson has filled the void we left behind.
Back in the day, we used to poach from South Carolina. That started to change when SOS went to USC. But to have the reverse happen is unthinkable.
