Cannot field a team full of WR's and athletes and expect to compete with the big boys.

If we signed the #1 RB, #1 LB, and the #1 OL people would still complain. Considering all the crap that has happened since the Kentucky loss, I'm friggin tickled at what was accomplished in the recruiting class.

Have you seen our Oline numbers and depth. can't and really dont need to sign any more. 1 or 2 would have been the max.

Glad these 20 guys aren't the whole team. Remember all the freshman/ sophomore linebackers and offensive lineman we've been playing lately?

Agreed +1. We do have a "blue chip" in Marlin Lane. Bourque has drawn comparisons to Matt Forte, Alden Hill is underrated, and Quenshawn Watson is stupid fast. Also we have Maggitt, Johnson, and Lathers at the back. Leave the pessimism at VolNation.

True. This is a great class. They don't give you wins for the ranking of your recruiting class. The biggest thing is will their character and scholarship allow them to be a contributing member of the team. We needed more LBs. Ashame we lost Peters and Santos. That would have been the best class in the last five years. The most important signees are Sentimore, Patterson, and Hill. Two will be in spring practice and the other is SEC ready to play. These three will impact next season. With the loss of six coaches, holding this class together was difficult and not without casuaties.
