I think it's reached the point that Tennessee fans are desperate to get rid of Dooley, so now they're even finding ways to complain about the good things he does. From this point forward, nothing he does will be good enough, and everything good that happens will be because someone else made it work.

Watch and see.

One of Dooley's strengths is always getting on guys early or first.

West Mesquite has several ranked players. LSU offered his teammate, Eldridge Massington. Some of our fans wanted Les to offer Miles too as they visited together and talked the "package" talk.

The LSU staff has several offers to other safeties around the country that they have higher on the 2013 board.

Kameron is a good player who is coming in from a good high school program.

UT was I think his third or fourth offer. He wasn't first, but once he was evaluated further he was offered.

Maybe he just wasn't interested in going OOS until very, very recently when all of a sudden UT offered and became his dream school.

Also got a verbal from this guy. Seems to be like Santos last year, not a lot of early offers but will blow up after the season.

ETA: Noticed he committed April 20th, not May 20th. Totally forgot



Zanca had to play defensive end last year instead of linebacker because of depth. That why there are no offers, most teams wanted him to camp so they can see what he can do in person. Purdue just offered 2 days ago I think.

The head coach at West Mesquite is Mike Overton.

He is a Tennessee alum from back in the 70's. Good coach and a good guy. A good friend on mine coached with him at Commerce a few years back. They both coached for Steve Lineweaver the Euless Trinity coach.

Some Texas kids just become intent on leaving the state, whereas others refuse to do it and just decide between whatever in state offers they have. I'm not sure if this happens in other larger football states, but a few players every year like LaDarrell McNeil who UT signed last year just never seem to have any intention of playing in the state

Miles seems like a good player and as said before West Mesquire is a good HS program
