Go ahead and add Janzen Jackson to the list too!
Forget Oku! We've got Lennon Creer for 2 more years!!
bluetick writes:
Did Oku sign with anybody today? And I really hope we get Janzen too. Any word on where he is leaning?
RockyTop writes:
It looks like we're in good shape on defense and Jackson would just put the cherry on top. Oku would help on the offensive side. I don't think you can have enough RB's because injuries can deplete you in an instant.

The defense won us a few games last year. Maybe they can win us a few more this year. We are gonna hurt some people...

I am not going to beat around the bush here and get real technical with you as MRJeffersonCownoverthe1st did in his earlier posts.
I am just going to tell you Defense is the new offense and anybody thinks they are going to put 59 points on us like Florida did under Chief "Chavez" and Fulmer you got another thing coming...
Another thing such as getting crushed by the BIG ORANGE!!!

I am really proud of our coaches and how well they have done!!!! I am very proud to have this staff of coaches and am very pleased at all the hard work they done to land a very high quality class like this one.
I will take quality over rankings any day of the week.
These coaches know what they are doing and that is very new to Tenn.football.
Coach-O said they are going after the top QB's next year.
I predict we land a future Heisman canidate?

Saban already cryed like a baby this year and told recruits don't visit us.

Yes, but as Lane said we didn't want Tahj Boyd and Thigpen. Those two would have moved us up. Boyd was no.5 quarterback

Florida coach Urban Meyer is not sleeping well. Despite winning two national Championships in the past three years, having 19 of 22 of his starters returning, 15 returning red shirts from last year’ recruits and landing an excellent recruiting class, he has nightmares involving Lane and Layla singing Rocky Top in the swamp after the game on September 19th 2009.

No, Tennesssee was 5th in the SEC in terms of Star Power but overall because the lack of numbers they fell below them... I prefer the star power mesurement myself. The next phase is going to find out if these folks can coach. I think 7-5 is going to be required. Anything else then the AD needs to start looking.

LBs and DTs. What the h#ll is up with that?
Trying to do better than 5-7?

I would love to finish with a committ from Jackson and Oku.
Docrok writes:
I disagree with our schedule and returning players anything less than 9-3 is a failure even for this season! Even with bounce passes our record last year should have been 8-4! Thats with bounce passes and giving the other teams points left and right! I think this year with the added discipline the teams production will go up significantly!

Both of these would be nice

I hope you are right...
DrJCrown_theMagicMan writes:
Did anybody notice this but me...It looks Like Zach Rogers has lipstick on , on those pics of our recruits!
theoldbear writes:
With all due respect, this is an ordinary recruiting class, mid-way in the SEC, and several of the recruits are obviously committments made prior to the new coaching staff.
The tackle from Sarasota Booker was a hoss as a junior (I saw him play), but sat out his senior year and is a rehab project at best. If he ever plays a down, I'll be surprised. Although he did have the best knee surgeon in the country.
My prediction for 2009 is 4-8, and I'm going to have to listen to those Gator fans gloat again this year, I'm afraid.
And man, do I hope I'm proven wrong.
Go Vols Beat Gators! And a few other teams along the way!

After all, he did go to David "Lips"comb. <Grin> Sorry, that was too easy to pass up.
Maverick1921 writes:
Hey guys I have a better idea. Why don't we watch the games next season and see what happens. If they go 6-6 or 7-5, but they play their butts off and show vast improvement, then that means we're moving forward from what we had. Don't try to put a record for success out there, because we play in the hardest conference in the land. If you look at the schedule for next year, there are five games that we should win for sure, including Vandy and at Kentucky. The other seven could go either way... At Florida, at Alabama, at Ole Miss, vs UCLA, vs Auburn, vs Georgia, and vs South Carolina. I look for vast improvement on the field as far as effort and discipline, but I will not put expectations too high for next season. If we do get the improvement on the field and a top 15 recruiting class in 2010, then in my opinion, it has been a success so far.

Word on the Tennessean.com thread is that Orgeron offended Marlon Brown's family, his grandmother inparticular. Anyone else know anything about it?
memphis_vol_fan writes:
4-8??
I respect your opinion but if we have anything that resembles an offense this year we will easily go 7-5, most likely 8-4.

lets go get janzen jackson and bryce brown and put this recruiting class to rest real strong

Notwithstanding the defection of benedict arnold to georgia Kiffin did a good job of getting the instate players to UT. There were some questionable decisions made on other players but I guess we just have to wait and hope for the best.

We surely can't control who WINS the Heisman--past experience should have proven that--but we can surely hope to bring in some strong Heisman CANDIDATES. That would be accomplishment enough!
VolGraduate writes:
and your point is? look at the average stars or grade and you will see a different picture. also when you take into account the margin of error for these recruiting services it looks like most teams minus the outliers (lsu and vandy/ky) recruted about the same quality of players.
xvillefan writes:
I an not sure what an "OUTLIERS" is but KY & Vandy are not really UT competion and LSU will be in 2010 & 11.
johnlg00#206211 writes:
Well, I think that 7-5 might start the clock running, but 9-3 is setting the bar pretty high, IMHO. Wins over UF and Bama are the longest of long shots; wins over UGA and Ole Miss are toss-ups. Allow for one "oopsie" along the way due to new coaches, systems, players in new positions, and the ever-popular "Murphy", and 8-4 looks pretty good to me, especially if we avoid any major blow-outs.
johnlg00#206211 writes:
Well, I just chided Docrock for being too optimistic, but now I have to chastise you for being too pessimistic. The Gators may indeed have reason to gloat over us for another year at least, but there are WAY more than four eminently winnable games on our schedule. I would be willing to wager a beer or a coffee on 8-4 or better with a few breaks.
xvillefan writes:
Some fans are very optimistic about the new staff and looking forward to the 2009 season. Some have even stated that anything less than nine wins would be a failure and less than ten would be a disappointment. Has everyone forgot how poor Fulmer recruiting classes were in February 06 and 08? If this years recruiting is not in the top five, the talent level available next fall will be the slimmest in years. Particularly at QB.
A SEC championship before 2013 will be a stretch. In 2009, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Ole Miss will definitely be favored and South Carolina will probably be a toss up. In 2010 & 2011 the task gets tougher as LSU cycles onto the schedule.
johnlg00#206211 writes:
Yeah, it sorta looked like that to me, too! Not the most flattering picture they could have gotten, surely!
johnlg00#206211 writes:
I read an article somewhere that said even the recruiting services themselves don't claim more than 60% accuracy for their ratings based on how the players actually do on the field. Bottom line is that recruiting is FAR less than an exact science--way too many unquantifiable factors--and coaching plays a HUGE role, no surprise there. I like the fact that our staff has a clear idea of what kinds of players they want and do not appear to be unduly influenced by what others think. Whether or not they are RIGHT about their evaluations is a question that only time can answer.

Nice Joe Dirt reference. "Guy likes to see homoes naked that don't help me."
johnlg00#206211 writes:
In the statistics field, an "outlier" is a data point that lies outside the range of the majority of cases. In this case, LSU is considered by many to have landed an exceptionally good class while UK and Vandy had exceptionally bad classes. I'm not sure how true that really is, but that is what was meant by the statement.
johnlg00#206211 writes:
Now that right there is funny, I don't care who you are! Personally, I love to hear Orgeron talk, but I can understand how some might seriously misinterpret what he actually says!

OK for all that think I am wrong I will explain 9-3. I will give the coaching staff losses to AL, Ole Miss, and FL. GA is breaking in a new QB and RB. Plus several new lineman. Sorry they should not beat TN. Oh yea and its a home game! UCLA, traveling to Knoxville and still not a good team. SC another home game and they have yet to get any productive QB play. And the other games I wont even address because they should be gimmes in any year!

Just saying when you take away the best and the worst recruiting classes from the SEC (LSU, KY, Vandy)everyone else got about the same talent this year
VolGraduate writes:
exactly...my first instinct was to pissed at the new staff for letting kids go and not closing on a few others but i think they are looking for a different type of player than what foolmer was looking for regardless of the talent level. i think they are looking for players that want to win and succeed and will walk through he11 to get there. fulmer was looking for something different. this has apparently created a divide b/w the current players who don't fit the kiffin mold and the players that do fit the mold. the players that don't fit kiffin's mold are the ones complaining about the 5am weekday workouts. the others know it will make them stronger in the long run
sorry for the long post
TommyJack writes:
Top-heavy on defense? I'm sure the presence of Monte Kiffin had NOTHING to do with that. Just coincidence. BTW, all you negative nellies and downward spiralers need to find a new team to support. LOFL. (remember that one, Fulmerites??) Hmmm?
THE_VOL writes:
It's just plain stupid for anybody to get all excited about this nonsense and start ranking and rating classes, players, etc. Why don't we wait until they (a) actually get in school, (b) actually break into the line-up, and (c) actually play for about 2-3 years! THEN we can talk about it with some actual knowledge!
