So ... basically ... recruiting is now worse with Butch.

Not really unexpected given the recruiting experience of this staff.

The good news is that we have a lot of Cinci recruits. Maybe we could line up some Big East opponents.

The recruits can hear us sucking all the way to their home towns. I think we should pursue research as our main goal rather than "football factory" because as a factory we are worse that "made in China".

We're not doomed. It is possible that this staff can coach. If they can coach, then they can possibly get more out of this team despite the dearth of SEC-caliber talent.

We're not going to beat Alabama or Georgia or Florida with this kind of recruiting. But, we can still manage 7 or 8 wins a year.


Oh ... and we are still waiting on the volleyball player to fax in his LOI ... so all hope is not lost.

Not good when a 5 star that lives within pissing distance passes right by you on their way to the fooking state of Ohio.

We don't need a coach, we need a magician with all the crap that has happened to this program.

Might just add here: Christian Morris signed with UCLA and Frank Herron stuck with LSU. Two guys Tennessee could have really used.

Something odd happened during Christian Morris' visit to Tennessee ... following his visit, they broke off all conversation.

This is why I don't follow recruiting, I go crazy enough with just the games. If going to UT was a bad business deal for Bell then he knew that all along and shouldn't have even thrown us in the mix, much less act like he was coming here. Then if he's going to blame Dooley, well Dooley is no longer here.

I respect Ramsey so much more with the way he handled it. He thought UT was a bad business deal too so he just never considered us, he didn't use us for personal pub, and he didn't say a bunch of BS on signing day making excuses for not coming here....... I have no use for recruiting whatsoever. Just a bunch of spoiled thugs getting attention for something they haven't accomplished yet.
