2012 Volunteers Recruiting

[UTVolCountry]

Drooley can't win a recruiting war with Coach Franklin.

LOL, that is a quote from a Vandy fan over on the ESPN boards.

 

[UTVolCountry]

The only thing that saves Vandy from the toilet is Kentucky (who hasn't beaten us in my lifetime, I believe!).

Not in my lifetime either.

It's always funny when we play them, cause to them every year is "the year", lol.

I was reading a thread on a UK board today, about their expectations for this year and sure enough, one of them said that UK will beat Tennessee.

 

[UTVolCountry]

Tennessee has beaten Kentucky 26 straight years, while Florida has beaten them 24 straight years.

It is hard to believe a team has 2 20+ losing streaks to teams in the same division.

But if you ask any UK fan who they'd rather beat, they would say Tennessee in a heart beat, lol. They HATE the Vols. You hardly ever hear of Florida's winning streak over them.

That's even funnier since Dooley was given credit for contributing quite a bit to two of Saban's top 3 recruiting classes. Yea...he can't recruit.

Last year was about as good of an opportunity as they're gonna get...we see what happened.

I wasn't there, but I heard UK brought a ton of fans last season cause they were so confident they would beat us.

I was reading catspause before the game and some UK fan was talking about how he was going to rush the field after they beat UT (in Neyland), lol. Catspause is always good for a laugh before they play UT. The meltdown afterwards can be just as funny.

Corey Smith recommitted to Tennessee but will be part of the '13 class.

Hmmm...

 

[WestEndVol]

He has to work on his grades in JUCO.

 

[24seven]

Gas pumpers.

 

[The Crimson King]

Copycat

I think I'm gonna do it too......

 

[mem49er]

Gas pumpers.

Your family tree? Or should I say family wreath since it's more of a circle?

 

[mem49er]

10 teams that will rise or fall in the rankings - CBSSports.com

Nothing more than speculation, but nice to have some good press for a change.

 

[UTVolCountry]

Well that is a good thing to see. The recruiting should be picking up even more now with the announcement there wont be any more punishment.

and LOL @ Vandy for being on the "looking down" list

Rivals updated rankings now have Peterman and Peters as 4*'s...they were 3*. They also gave Henderson a 3* rating.

 

[WestEndVol]

Can't believe Santos didn't get a bump, he deserves it more than anybody else, imo.

Thought he had...interesting to note the disparity between ESPN and Rivals. Rivals has him as a 3 star, on ESPN he's our highest ranked recruit.
