Some tweeters worried about Bama.  Just hoping this isn't Von Bell pt 2.

If it is, it won't be for the same reasons. And there's still plenty of time until signing day. Honestly I think the Bammer worry has been manufactured by somebody and passed around . . . but who knows.

If Bates did decide to go to Bammer, I would not blame him for that decision as a football player. But from my perspective as a UT alum and a Vol fan, he will assuredly be dead to me and I will wish for him to go winless and remain unhappy for the next 4+ years of his life.

Sounds like a 4* that's about to become a 5*.

Yeah, those are big time numbers. If he can add 20-25 lbs without knocking those speed and agility times he has the potential to be a monster at LB at the next level and the one after that. I had no idea he was that athletic.

Iris, right now we are #1 on rivals rankings. I'd say this class will finish top 7 for sure. Rankings link below

Should be our best class on paper since at least 2009.  Let's just hope they perform better than that group did.

Better than that so far.  Best since 2007 at least.  Ditto the paper thing.

That started as a troll on FL98, as a joke. And it took off.

It wasn't meant to be a troll that got out... it was somebody trying to troll the actual members of FL98. Half the crap you read on the Internet about UT starts there because one person is pulling another person's leg on a closed forum. But so many people lurk, it spreads.

There have been times that I have read things there and heard about it from people in my office minutes later, specifically during the coaching search.
