There is no ignoring the facts. UT use to bring in 10+ 4 Star players and we had great teams. No one is bad mouthing Butch's efforts, but five 4 stars (Rival) and a bunch of 3* looks more like a ACC team vs. SEC. These players will have to be Jr & Sr before their experience and ability become full bull. UT is mediocre and the coaching changes have killed the #1 sport in the State of Tennessee. When Vandy's squad is above ours, then it will actually take twice as long to fix the mess the UT Administration has caused. It could be as long a 6-10 years before we see a really good UT football team. These kids have heart, but the SEC (NFLjr)takes no pitty on UT or any other SEC school. Look at Ol'Miss......PLEASE! they don't have academics on their mind, it's win football games at "any" cost. These kids don't want an education, they want a fast ticket to the NFL.............PERIOD. If UT want the whole cake and eat it too, then they have no earthly idea what they have done and what they are up against. Alabama has one of the lowest adminssion requirement in the SEC.....DUH...players to the right, students to the left. Cheeks has doomed the whole athletic program at Tennessee. We lost to a pathetic UGA team AT HOME!!!! 2nd Tier coaches, 2nd Rate teams.....it is what it is. I will still root for the O&W, but I don't see us in anything remotely associated with the word Championship.
