This has to be Dooley best recruiting class since he has been here. The class is complete and we have"big time"players @ every spot with the exception of OL which we took care of last year. Honestly im more impressed this year selling a 5-7 product then i was his first year when he landed David Ricky,Hunter and Stone. Top to bottom this class has it all.
QB-Peterman
RB-Borque
WR-Bowles,Croom with the potential to add CP or Q.Davis
TE-Meredith
DE-Sentimore,Taylor,Lewis
DT-Big mac,Danny O
LB-Peters,Santos and King
DB-McNeil,Blanc,Gray,Bonner
Thoughts?

I agree completely if we can close all those guys. If we add Patterson and Bonner it almost has to be a top 10 class. That would be unbelievable given all that has gone on with the program.

We will likely lose Gray. He's visiting WV. Bigger fish to fry!

I've said it before and said it again..I'm going to trust Coach Dooley and the UT staff on their evaluations of our future players, and I'm going to enjoy the football on Saturdays !

Based on this class and the recent coaching hires I see no reason why we should not give Dooley 3 more years . He has this thing headed in the right direction , give this class a year of expierence and we will be back. Besides blue chip recruits look at stabality giving him 3 more years would show that we are commited to him , according to ESPN this recruiting class is #20 without the recent commitments add them we should move atleast 5 spots maybe more and next year given him staying we could have a top 5 - top 10 class.

Dooley has to get it done on Saturday before any talk of 3 more years. Can't give him an extension based on recruiting. He has to produce in the win column before we talk about 3 more years, IMO.

I agree with what you're saying, but I think Dooley has certainly put the Vols in a better position for the wins on Saturday to happen with the recent upgrade in the coaching staff. Also with Graham at the RB spot, I think with a little ground game, the sky's the limit for Bray and Co. With what he has accomplished recruit wise and hiring, I think a decent season buys him more time. An 8 win season buys him 3 more years. Here's to an 8+ win season. GO VOLS!

my sources say that I should agree with you... but it's just a rumor at this point.

Give me one example when changing coaches every 3 years has built a winning program. I can give you 2 that they when they stuck with the coach they became primer programs they are Florida State and Penn State. I do not belive that you base everything on wins/losses there is more to a program than that getting the recruits in here will translate into wins .
