The CheckerBoard

i got to say from kids this year ,compared to last year i can see a big,huge difference in the recruits first impresion of the coachs and
tenn its self,i do believe we can compete with bama ,florida,georgia,
for recruits now.
where in the past we was taking 2 and 3 picks and all the kids been picked over.go vols

Any forty times or stats on this kid impressive offer list.

I agree with the sentiment here, but we will probably have to look at more than just the W-L columns. This is a very tough schedule for 2013 and an all-new staff with lots of new players in skill positions. Of course, it will only help if we can rack up 8 or 9 wins. That would be huge...and shocking. However, even if we only manage 6 or 7 wins, we need to be competitive each and every game. We need to win the ones we are supposed to win and hang in there even if we are major 'dogs. Pop a few upsets and everything gets easier.

In other words, I am with you, but it means the Vols MUST upset a few teams. Anything's possible. Would love to do what A&M did last year and pop the Tide. Throw in the Gators and the Dawgs and the Vols would be strutting on the recruiting trail.

Vols!!
