re: Haters Said UT Didn't Have A Chance In Hell.......

Sort how I feel because about the only time UT's class came up on here was when a UT fan started a thread about them one time being ranked #1 when UT already had like 25 recruits committed and everyone else just a handful. Besides that not much of a mention.

I give Jones credit great class but in all reality the high ranking even Dooley would have gotten this year. Kelly and Bates along with a few others were all legacies that would have been at UT even if Dooley stayed. Hurd is from TN and was already leaning to UT under Dooley but only waited to commit because of the uncertainty of Dooley being fired and waiting for the replacement. So Jones really did not do anything to get those guys. Malone for whatever reason in the end seem to not get the attention by the time he committed from other schools except UT. Mosley really had no other option except UT in the end. It great to see UT keep the instate kids but Jones did not do much for the top part of the class coming in. He did do a great job for the rest of the class.
