Who is Higgins?
As for good news some random arse poll (Milicee I think?) named is the preseason #1. I, of course, hate these type of expectations but some ppl like them

Unfortunately, Higgins gave a lot of people reason to believe he was a commit and losing him after buying into that hurts. I wish he'd played things differently as in hindsight it feels a little shady.

That said, I'm glad he did it today as we can now focus on other targets and make them priorities. In-state guys of Higgins' talent level always get a priority and that sometimes causes us to overlook guys who are just as good or better who might be interested in us but we don't court as hard when we're pursuing an in-state guy.

We'll still recruit Tee but new options open and he won't make or break our future. PWilly is gonna ball out this year and word from the very conservative Matthews is that Jarrett Guarantano will pass Dormady up during the season. He's that good.

I also expect to see Jeff George appear as a redzone threat and for Malone and especially JJ to progress.

We're set for not only this season but future seasons as well.

Anytime Clemson steals a recruit it feels shady. Oh... You've been leading for him the whole time. He says only positive things about your school. Says it's his dream school. Visits almost every week. Goes to Clem$on for the first time and commits. IPTAY.

I'm not going to worry about this class yet, especially when it is a WR who also has his sights set on basketball.

The good news is that Tennessee is being predicted to win the East for the first time since Fulmer was here. The Vols are one of the most experienced and talented teams in the country. Anything less than 10 regular season wins will be considered a disappointment.

If we win like we should then recruiting will come. I am focused on the season for now.

The other good news is that it was just a receiver. We only use those to block with anyway.

Butch will reel in a top 10 class after we win the east, not worried whatsoever.

Clemson now has more 4/5 star players from the state of Tennessee than UT has 4/5 star players combined. What a joke.

Why is it our fanbase gets the rug ripped out from under us so much..

Got a long way to go until February. I think the momentum swings back to us in a big way once the season gets going.

This is the first recruit I can recall where every single one of our insiders not only agreed but were proved wrong. And to make it stranger both Hubbs and PFort felt we were in a good spot. Callahan (the least accurate of the bunch) was the only one who leaned towards Clemson a bit.

I've never really paid much attention to Clemson (no reason to) but from the way y'all talk I'm assuming they have a history of paying players. Are they that bad?

Dabo is a fcking Dwebe. His story seems unbelievable like Tebow's. I mean how does he not have a skeleton in his closet.
