I hope so, but these guys werent really ever that high on our charts. I will be surprised if Savage doesnt pick UT. Wouldnt it be ironic if we signed like 7 D-linemen and all these guys that have been yelling DL! DL! would have to find something else to gripe about. We want Coples period, he is gonna be a freak. Coples and Martin on the ends would be real nice.

Flustered, not so much. As I am now, I confirmed that I was wrong. At the time, I thought that it was much ado about nothing. I was wrong. Saying that BJ Coleman is a good player is not the same as having a man crush. I know that clever lines like that will get you the attention you desperately crave, but their as erroneous as my post about Ainge. Everyone makes mistakes and can say something that turns out to be inaccurate. I've been wrong before and I'll be wrong again, the difference is that I can admit that and you can't.
As for not being able to wait to tell people your name, if I learned it in October and just now said it, obviously I could wait. I know that you think you're hilarious, brilliant and always correct, but you're wrong. That's the most erroneous position of all by anyone on this site.

VolCR said: "Not enough room for 10-12 more guys on top of what we have publicly committed at this point plus Morley and Warren."

So you don't know? So you are talking out your ear right?

There's error number two today.

Posted by sjt18 on January 29, 2008 at 4:13 p.m. (Suggest removal)

"Back to the 10-12 numbers myth of sphs_vol, we currently have 71 players returning to the team this year counting Gaines, Morley, and Warren. Then you add the 14 current commits (including Floyd) that leaves us at 85. Now, some guys will not qualify (some say Hughes won't), that still will probably leave only a few slots left, not 10-12. I could see us oversigning by a few knowing some guys won't qualify but we will not sign 10-12 more before signing day."

Error number 3 by my count and I'm not even trying. That 71 HAS to include the walk ons or else UT cannot sign anyone else... which obviously isn't true.

No, I don't care whether I'm right or wrong about it. I know you do. It doesn't matter to me whether you have one name or 3. What I do have a problem with is when you get on here and make negative statements in order to provoke arguments. Then you resort to name calling and mocking and act like you're the smartest guy around, all the while doing it anonymously and with unwarranted vitriol. You could argue respectfully, but you choose not to go that route. That's fine. The only thing I don't understand is why, if you hate Fulmer and his ways so much and you're so convinced that the program is in dire straits, do you spend so much of your time being negative about it? Why don't you focus your interests elsewhere? And, if you won't do that, why don't you just try to be positive and respectful with other people?

VolCR, whatever the number is, it is NOT 14 which is what your math says it has to be. You can't sign 8-10 more players than you have scholarships for...

Just keep it up... this could be fun.

Companies have spent millions based on my math. I'm not above mistakes... or learning from them... but it isn't a weakness.

There's mistake number 4 btw for you. My error with Fisher wasn't the math... I was wrong about when he came to UT. I was thinking last year instead of the year before.

Posted by bigbluevol on January 29, 2008 at 4:25 p.m. (Suggest removal)

From the Bohannon, Waggner article:

"UT is expected to sign between 20 and 24 prospects this year."

Since Hughes is probably going to JC or Prep, that's one less they will have on scholly this season. Warren and Morley might not get scholarships for this year. If UT is expected to sign that many, as Hooker said, obviously there will be a numbers crunch in some way. Similar to last year's. Hooker hopefully did not just make that estimate up.

Posted by sjt18 on January 29, 2008 at 4:37 p.m. (Suggest removal)

Oh... VolCR, if the number is 16 rather than 14... it still counts as an error.

The only way UT can take more is if they are all sign and place 8-10 kids which is fairly unlikely.

Error #5: You included Johnson and Poole with the Freshmen. They are early enrollees but Fr and members of the 2008 class with respect to recruiting and eligibility...

See how fun nitpicking is?

Of course the Freshman class doesn't include the early enrollees yet so it should be 14 anyway/

Cutcliffe isn't a complete idiot. He only gave this kid a 'luke warm' interest while at TN. Cutcliffe knew all along he wanted this kid at Duke and also because he has the grades to make it. Pretty good that he can get a top 10 or 15 QB prospect to commit to Duke.

Funny that some don't believe the negative post can effect recruiting but just this past season they believed those same negative comments could persuade MH to fire Fulmer.
Kind of selective in that train of thought don't ya thing?
I know if I was a coach for a competing team in the recruiting war I would use every negative thing I could find about the universities I was up against to convince a kid and his parents I had a better more stable program for him to commit to.
That is one of the oldest sales techniques used in today’s market to make your competitor look less qualified than you are at meeting their needs.

Just out of curiousity. You say that Mallet would have had to sit out 2 full years if he had left Michigan early. Does that mean Warren has to sit out next year as well? If so, will the school put him on scholarship and redshirt him, or does he have to walkon?

VolCR is wrong again about the transfer rule. A player can transfer with permission and play after sitting out 1 year. Michigan granted Mallett such a release.

I am not entirely sure whether VolCR is right about an early enrollee getting a years credit if they transfer without a release to avoid sitting out two years.

That has been part of the problem with Warren. FSU has resisted giving him a release so he's had to appeal to the NCAA.

auttat ,Mallett was given a release by Michigan , so he only has to sit one yr.If Mich would have refused the transfer, and he left in the middle of a semester he would have had to sit for 2 yrs.Warren left FSU in the middle of a semester after FSU refused to release him.Warren then filed for a hardship w/ the ncaa , but was turned away w/ the ncaa upholding the FSU ruling citing there was no reason for a medical hardship b/c his mother had gotten better.However, he won an appeal last fall, releasing him from his FSU commitment.UT now has to file for the hardship for Warren when he enrolls in UT this summer.Until then there can be no contact beetween him and the UT staff.It is thought he will get the hardship b/c he was released from his commitment,therefore not in violation of ncaa rules by leaving mid-semester.

The scholarship is the thing that is only a year long. Transfer rules are different. If a school will not grant a release for transfer (regardless of when the request is made) the player has to sit the 2 years. This is very rare, but it does happen. If a school grants a release, the player has to sit the one year unless he goes to 1AA or lower.

Sometimes teams grant conditional releases. For example, Fulmer could grant a release on the condition that he goes to a school not in the SEC or that they play.

In my opinion, UT needs this class of minimal stars more than they need the high profile recruits. It will be interesting to watch the maturation of this recruiting class moreso than the others. It seems the high profile recruits wash out moreso than the guys that have to hustle to keep up. We'll see

posivol 9:22 p.m. Dang. Man, stay and ride the waves. It gets interesting from time to time. Like feeding time at the zoo.

"Dang sjt18. Dude you are on a roll with the comment removals"

Sorry Dennisvols. Someone was posting with my screen name... couldn't be VolCR though... he/she/it is way too mature for that... you can tell it from all his other posts. LOL.

Have I wandered into a backyard brawl?

VolCR and I have one of these every so often. He/she/it can't tolerate someone who disagrees with them... and I have a hard time letting the delusionally pessimistic slide with their constant griping and complaining.

I'm working on it though. If Balaam could learn from a talking one... maybe I should listen to folks like VolCR.

Any DTs?

So, of qbs that we DO have, with Crompton the only one that I have seen much of in game action ... who has stronger arm, Stephens or Coleman?

Posted by sjt18 on January 30, 2008 at 10:39 a.m. (Suggest removal)

I've read that Stephens has the strongest arm at UT since at least Shuler. It has been reported also that all three have at least as much if not more arm strength than Ainge though others dispute that.

Thanks for response; sounds hopeful that we could be throwing deep a little more.

What have you heard pd?

I've seen that Wadley and/or Henderson could end up DT's in college. TDTN's suggestion of Dareus would be nice but I think that's a long shot.

I still think that could end up being the best position for Aaron Douglas in college.

If UT doesn't sign a couple of potential DT's for next year out of this class then they'll be dependent on both Hall and Sykes making it back from JUCO. Otherwise they'd have to find an immediate impact Freshman or uncommitted JUCO.

Did you see where Rivals and Scout now have Hughes rated? Rivals gave him 2*. If he does well in prep/JUCO, he could return higher than that.

I doubt there's much question that Clawson will want to throw deep more. I believe he made some comments to the effect that they want to stretch the field with the passing game to compliment the run game... and vice versa, he might want to get a consistent run game to open up the passing game.

Whether because of Ainge's injuries or Cut's choice, relying so heavily on the short game couldn't have helped the running game. The D benefited from playing guys close to the LOS against both.

Is the Savage announcement at 10:30cst?

PD, I quit asking for DT's. I am afraid we will get what we ask for and it will be the other kind of DT's. Is there any crossover there if I use DL's?

Savage just committed to Auburn. That blows!

Cut is dead to me. This whole shaddy exit deal with coaches and recuits sucked. I tink gib Phil gave him the go ahead to help him out.

I hope he goes winless in 3 years and gets booted to the Duke door.

Hey thesavageorange, you couldn't deliver another savage to us??? Geez!

utmdm-11:21 a.m.- I'm afraid there's no substitute for the real thing. Phil tried to go without DTs in 2007 and we crested at 11th in the conference in D. But we keep recruiing DBs.

RC is drinkable, but a cold Coke is much better. In my humble opinion. Beat MSU.
