They may become great players, but we seem to be hitting TN hard but even though they are top 25 rated in that state, I have often read here that TN is not exactly a recruiting hotbed even for UT. Sign me worried that this will even be a TOP 30 class. We must increa$e our recruiting budget big time now.

    It’s about ROI. Why would I fund an NIL or donate $100k+ when I don’t believe in this athletic departments capability to capitalize on it? I’ve seen nothing to indicate it will be managed well. Certainly not in football or basketball. In regards to baseball they had all the momentum and good publicity they will ever have and they flushed it all last year. Total mismanagement. Bad investment at present.

    Certainly believe many folks have at least some doubt that increased giving will elevate us to truly competitive at the highest level.

    Do not donate. Contact the player on your own that you want to get to come to state. Its not illegal for a private citizen to do that if you arent employed by the university.

    Hahahaha. Bracky just had a heart attack.

    Scratch that.... I just saw the visit list for this weekend. Y'all need to get to the game and do some handshaking. It would be nice to flip a certain safety.
