Since we don't have one I'll throw this out there..

Alden Hill, Cody Blanc, Justin Meredith, Darrington Sentimore, Trent Taylor, Nathan Peterman, and Tino Thomas were all EEs.

Faxes have been received for all of the following:
Jason Croom
Justin King
Deion Bonner
Q. Watson
G. Bullock
LaTroy Lewis
Daniel McCullers
Alton "Pig" Howard
LaDarrelle McNeil
Drae Bowles
Daniel Gray
Danny O'Brien
Cordarrelle Patterson
Davante Bourque

A bit of a disappointing day but grabbing Patterson definitely takes some of the sting away. Being able to hold onto McNeil is huge. Kenneth Bynum, Cincy commit, did not sign today and will visit Tennessee Monday and Tuesday so I would expect for him to be added to the class.

I think that pretty much covers everything. Let me know if I missed something.

It's easy to give-a-fuk about UT since y'all been so shitty the last few years.

I really enjoyed the early 90's when UT was so good but never beat the Tide.
The UT hate from Tennessee fans was unrivaled.


Solid class of players if each one reaches their potential.

I'm happy with the class overall

Brought in some speed at the skill positions which we need, especially on special teams.

Good WR, DB, and DL groups.

3 impact jucos that should really help in Patterson, Sentimore, and McCullers.

Losing the LBers hurts and still need an elite RB, but we'll load up on RB/OL/LB in '13

If you are disappointed with this class you don't have a fricking brain in your head.

We've gone through the worst 5 years stetch in the program's HISTORY. Not only that, Dooley had to replace 6 of his assistants in the last 3 months. Not to meantion dirt bags negatively recruiting our commits. And finishing with a 5-7 record and losing to UK for the first time in 26 years.

Top 20. Jesus, some schools never crack the top 20.How we made it with all the obsticales meantioned above is anything short of a damn miricle.

Not to meantion it address a lot of the needs we have. Our OL is still young with red shirt Jrs. and Sophomores. So why take some this class? We did need depth at WR, we got it. A quality QB. Added more depth at DB and a HUGE pull of DL.

The only short coming was losing Santos & Peters. Truths is we have Maggit & A.J. who were pretty damn good this year as true freshmen.

I'm a lot happier with a class that fills needs than say a class like UFs. Who took top rated defensive players, but really didn't address anytihng on offense. Which is where they're weak.

Dooley's Press Conference

Dooley addresses everything about this class. Very nice insight.
