I'm starting to think volfan28 posted a secret message to put a -100 by your name...

fwiw, I gave him a +1
It pains me to see one of our own take a pounding like this. All he did was a question... I feel bad for the guy

I'm always out and miss the best meltdowns!
Plus, I keep watching the basketVols get blown out, decide I don't want to see another, leave at halftime, and what happens? They win in dramatic fashion.
Oh well.

Maybe it is the caliber of player he is recruiting. Lets not be so reactionary to the news of one lost comitt. This was the number one RB in the class. I wonder if a former number one has ever signed with a school with a 5-7 record the previous year. I believe if we had won 9 games last year he would have signed with us. I just glad we are in the battles with Derick Henry and Derrick Green. We just need to become a winner again to actually get these kids.Jay Graham has worked very hard on getting these two guys. The blame can be varried but I believe it falls on wins. Wins cures a lot of what ails us.

A former number one has signed with a 5-7 team (I'm sure you can figure out who that is and what team I'm thinking about-think Orange) before, after a coaching change too, but I don't know if one has signed with a team that has had 3 straight losing seasons.

At what point should he get blame for not locking down a top ranked running back?

Maybe Green didn't want to pay in the SEC, and felt safer in the Big Ten!

Wow, I've never seen this kind of reaction to a simple question. I think everyone is over reacting to the post and the fact that Green didn't choose UT. But back to your question not anytime soon. He held this class together for the most part and the recruits love him.

This shouldn't even be a question. He has having to recruit on pure speculation. No results to point to, we have had four coaches in the past six years. During that time only two winning records but yet we are in the final three with teams that have had a lot better record during that time... But it's our recruiting that is bad? We have results on the field we land recruits simple as that. Any other school that had this type of record would be jumping for joy with where we are in rankings and this proves that Tennessee is still a top 25 job and give Jones and Graham time they will land big recruits.

Chill, dude. People can post questions on this board without being told to "get off the board" and being criticized by someone for asking a "stupid question." We're not OK with that kind of stuff around here.

Thank you for that response. Specifically why I joined this site.

Yes- one of the greats out of Duncan- Byrnes. Teammate of Cory Miller.
This looks like a thread you started Rex!

Like some others I've been away from the board all day today and could not believe the reaction this question has caused. +1 for a legitimate question OV. I don't think you were trying to hammer CJG.
