Volup1   Great post....   you bring up good points.... and in fact i agree with all of them....   LV tradition is great....   fan base is super... and who can argue with the hanging banners from rafters of TBO....  and even in recruiting.... i have always thought.... even with goose egg in 2016, Holly has brought in top talent.... good enough to compete at top level nationally

I have always thought as well (and here is where you may disagree) that some players choose to go to TN because they want to play their own game... write their own ticket....   the "divas" if you will.....   DeShields is one who comes to mind...  Ariel Massengale is another....   players who do not want to play for an alpha coach....  and be seriously schooled on the fundamentals and finer points of the game....

Looking at the SEC....   i think only South Carolina has brought in talent the last few years to match Tennessee..... I hope for LV fans that the athletic dept looks at the Georgias and Miss States of the conference .....   and even the Arkansas's, Alabamas, and LSUs .....and figure out why LVs are not competitive with them in game situations relative to talent level....

I cannot believe what they believe in Knoxville....   that the SEC is akin to the Yankees Murderers Row of yesteryear....    in past 2 or 3 weeks saw all the games... and LSU, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas did not look like top shelf teams at all.
