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.

Yea, Libscomb alumni are borderline entirely made up of Tennessee fans. Yes, that was hyperbole, but barely. I know a lot of them.

Plus, his family are season ticket holders and avid UT fans. You are off base baw.

You, V&S, and David Ricky Bobby all have the exact same affinity for this scouting thing. It's almost as if you were the same person.
You are ONE creepy dude.

The LSU exodus has begun. Is Canada next?

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.

You and I both know that you already are. Otherwise why would it bother you.

V&S forgets what he says under each alter. It's not difficult to figure out.

Does this mean I am Shaft, or that he has a bunch of alters and I'm some other guy?

I'll come clean. Shaft, David Ricky and yours truly are all voices in Robert Goulet's head. Robert is merely an alter-ego of Prof. Prof, MDV, Serraneaux and Phat Phil are actually brothers that board next to each other in a secret bunker under Neyland Drive, trolling all the Rant All-Stars such as yourself.

tRANT is just a fricking huge alter account VOLception.

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.

No question the quantity and quality of TN high school talent has increased over the last decade or so... but bc of the state’s demographics and geography, UT isn’t in a great position to take advantage. Maybe that’ll change with Pruitt?... we’ll see.

There's 13 4* players from the Nashville area in the 2019 class alone. VOLS have done very well in the midstate in recent years and Austin Thomas will only help that. 20 years ago, the majority of football talent in this state was in Memphis/West TN

Vols do well in the mid state, but bc of the people here with all different backgrounds (most of them didn’t grow up here and have not UT allegiance), I’m not sure it’s possible to lock it down (like LSU in LA or Bama in AL).

It's not rocket-surgery. It's not difficult to follow. You prolly ought to stop posting one personality right behind the other in every thread, captain obvious.

You should also limit the number of boy scout references to only one alter. It's a dead give-away. And it's pretty creepy.

What's creepy is that Cobb Dawg follows David Ricky into every VOL thread and accuses him of being an alter.

:ib4 I am accused of being an alter:
