And? Uh, those losses were a part of my prediction which so far has been correct. Besides you haven't even went through the toughest part of your schedule. Be patient it's coming.

We've already played 3 of our 5 toughest opponents and yet UT is still recruiting extremely well. Tell me, Gump, when is our class going to fall apart?

So you're still saying the same thing you've said since summer, even though Tennessee is 3-3 and still recruiting strong as ever?

I hope you're ready for some crow when UT is in the top 5 come NSD.

And? Every Tennessee poster on here expected that. You said all summer that UT's recruiting class would fall apart as soon as we started losing games. I told you win/losses wouldn't effect recruiting for this class.

---

I think it's a little soon to be saying your losses won't have an effect on recruiting. I still see 4 maybe 5 more losses on your schedule.

There's only 1 game on that list that we don't have a chance to win.

You're gloating about 3-3 like you've beaten one good or even average team.

Reading comprehension, gump. 3-3 sucks, yet we're still lights out on the trail.

All that gloating about being and ending with the number one class in the summer/spring and now you're saying "top 5"?

---

Please link me to any UT poster saying we finish #1 in recruiting. I've said many times,before the season, we would be top 10. Now I think we will be top 5. You're the fool that repeatedly said UT's class would fall apart as soon as we started getting our asses beat.

Dude you guys were trolling the SECrb with your "we're number one" threads every other day. Now you're backtracking and it's hilarious. Come on rocky top, don't get sensitive.

---

You're the one that's butthurt over troll threads. Like I said, I hope you enjoy your crow when UT is top 5 on NSD.

So losing to Oregon, Florida and Georgia didn't hurt recruiting one bit, yet losing to Alabama and South Carolina is gonna unravel it all?

---

Dude those recruits expected you to lose those games. They also expect you to show some growth and actually match the expectations of winning and tradition you're selling them on the recruiting trail.

When you don't we will see how things end. Your legacy players will stay (they'd come to UT even without Butch there) but we'll see about some of those others.

you're the one backtracking.

I have never backtracked and even pointed out how those old posts you dug up are still on course to be correct.

Now your backtracking has been enjoyable. By December top 5 will turn to top 10.

Butch is selling all these recruits on being the class that brings UT back to being elite. He's not selling winning this season because everyone knew we would be bad.

Wrong.
Hurd had UT 3rd behind Ohio State and UF before Butch. Todd Kelly was a Bama lean. Creamer wasn't even recruited by Dooley. Bates was higher on Texas and Florida at the time of Butch's arrival. The Berry bros HATED Dooley, they were leaning Auburn.

I posted this in June, when we were #1 on 247 and Rivals

Where does UT finish in recruiting? Posted by NorthGAVol on 6/3 at 11:18 pm I know we have a recruiting thread but I figured I would get more responses here. I'll say 6th on 247 and 8th on Rivals.

I don't think you know what backtracking means.

This one hurts, we need a JUCO o-lineman badly in this class, makes it even more important that we sign Avery Gennesey, any Ole Miss insiders know how your chances are looking with him? I know he is supposed to visit this weekend for the game against A&M.
