in response to Coach_K:

You clearly don't know much about football or life for that matter. It's effort not talent that will carry you to the next level. Dane Bradshaw was perfect example of that. He had WAY less talent than the other guys guys on the floor. However he had more heart than EVERY1! Therein lies the problem. Very few people were motivated to "give their all for Tennessee" under Dooley. I would take a 3* from say Oak Ridge of Brentwood Acd how lived their whole life a Vol as opposed to a 5* from Cali who just wants to play in the NFL. When a superstar has a bad game or season he shuts it down emotionally, because his dreams are still alive(see Justin Hunter). When a VFL has a bad game or bad season, he knows he must try harder because his dream is to see the VOLS on top again (see Zach Rodgers)!

Coach,
DITTO!!!! I have had that opinion 4EVER. And to expound even more, many, many times a couple of spoiled, over-egoed 5* brats can destroy the morale of an entire team. Talent is a great thing to have, but if it does not come along with, work ethic, desire, and team work it is wasted.
I hope if CBJ does but one thing at UT, it is bring in the best of the in state talent. And when those guys hit the sign above the door on the way to the field, they UNDERSTAND what it means to be a VOL.

GO BIG RNG
