Tennessee is about to have the most talented class ever in the state for 2019. Thomas was instrumental in getting 2 big time prospects to LSU from TN in the 2017 cycle when he was forced to step up and recruit for us because of our interim DL coach not being able to.


He's not a huge get. If you need a young kid to recruit kids from the state to Tennessee, you're in trouble. This is not a huge get. Mike Leach would be a huge get. Hell, Jeremy Pruitt wasn't a huge get, but he was compared to this guy. Tennessee is a lightweight state anyway when it comes to recruiting. UT should have no trouble there.

Ehhhhhhhh its a pretty large get for UT. Especially with their 2019 class. I wonder if LSU plans to fill his position or if we're even allowed to since we had a waiver allowing him to recruit.

Love responses like this.

Somehow people feel the need to remind VOLS that it's not the 90s without acknowledging that Tennessee HS talent has skyrocketed since then. Still not sustainable for a program, but much better than it was.
