Looking like most every insider did, not because they have bad info but because we're talking about high school seniors and there's a lot of moving parts. I mean Sanders definitely told the staff yesterday that he would sign with us, and it sounds like Dean and Haselwood may have done the same.

Lots of missed opportunities in this cycles, especially if we lose Haselwood and Stevenson.

Pappoe, Sanders, Haselwood, Dean were 4 big swings and misses (assuming Dean is OM)

This is all Dan Wolken's fault.

And Dallas didn’t get 4000. Bad combination.

The Fields news was meant to harm us. That was a hit piece. Straight up trash journalism at its finest.

That said, we still come out with a bunch of studs and we still have a loaded roster. The future is bright.

The timing was too obvious.

Well Wolken is a Tennessee fan as far as I can tell, so no surprise he'd run with that story. But the real damage came from whoever chose that timing to let it leak. CFB is a dirty business. You have to always be proactive with the news cycle.

On another forum, another known insider posted last night that the staff worked harder and was less certain about today than any other class. They did not know who they were getting. That proved to be right.

I'm not going to be upset with 4 five stars, 14 four stars, and 2 two stars with the opportunity to pick up stevenson, Haselwood, and maybe some others.

That's what happens when you go into Christmas and expect a Ferrari and get a Porsch 911. Hard to be disappointed guys...

I don’t think the Fields stuff hurt us with anyone but Haselwood. I was actually pleasantly surprised by the response of the team on social media to the news

Yeah, I get the impression that he was a bit of a distraction across the board. I hate to hear/see that, but it be what it be.

Maybe not, but good chance that every undecided recruit heard some negative recruiting about lack of qb depth and racism yesterday. It sure wasn't a positive.

How to transfer - Jacob Eason

How not to transfer - Justin Fields

That’s all there is to it.

He may have gone to Vandy, but I've seen him say lots of positive stuff about UT in the past. Most true Vandy fans hate Tennessee but he doesn't fall into that group.

Not a brutal signing day at all. We got 4 5 stars and a bunch or really good players. When you try to land the best recruits in the country you miss sometimes. At least we are on the table for these guys now.

Not really. We got everybody we should have gotten, and just missed on some we hoped to get. And, it's not over. We'll see.

And we have the February signing to go. Not as big of a deal as some are making it.
