Recruiting Thoughts from _Hyams

This is Jeff Luc, certified Beast-Stud who thinks Herban is a flat out queer for crying in public.

So it’s early as hell in the recruiting season, but some folks out there may be wondering coming off the heels of signing the #1 recruit in the 2009 class, Bryce Brown, just how highly ranked of a player UT can sign in this class.

2010 #1 Sentreal Henderson is no longer considering UT, so that dismisses the possibility of 2 #1’s in a row. Word on the street is it’s because he was deemed as “stiff” around the hips.

Over the next several months, rankings will shift based off buzz and performance, but here are some prospects UT has a good shot at landing. All ratings listed are according to Rivals.com database as of today. None of the recruits listed below possess anything resembling legendary MDVs, but I still hold hope that some of them could possibly contribute to a program without them.

Anyway, first is the ranking, then name, then a reason or two they could likely end up in orange, kicking ass for The Kiff.

8. Jeff Luc – Despite popular belief, I think he could very well fall in love with UT’s depth chart and the idea of playing for Monte. Luc is a freakish athlete many consider a Florida lean, but he could very well be this year’s Bryce Brown for UT, the trademark of a great class. Plus, choosing Florida would almost guarantee that he got arrested and/or formed a drug problem at some point in his career.

10. Lamarcus Joyner – 1. Eddie “The South Florida Closer” Gran, 2. And the likely pitch to Joyner is “We want you bad enough that we didn’t care about violations, we wanted to get you on ESPN.” If he doesn’t choose Tennessee, in all likelihood he’ll pick FSU in order to never have to take a legit test and get all the Nikes he wants. Or, he is also considering Ohio State, which would show a strong homosexual tendency to want to be that close to a man in a sweater vest.

15. Trovon Reed – Frank Wilson is going to help UT take over LA. The UT depth chart at WR will help and Reed was very happy here at camp. Possibly the biggest key to his recruitment is that when Orgeron calls him a “coon ass”, he’ll actually know what it means and not start crying like some pussy WR from Memphis’ retarded grandmother.

19. Kyle Prater – Obvious connections with Zach Fulton as the two know each other well, the DC also will play well with Prater. Let’s hope Kyle isn’t a fan of glorified cheerleading coaches who wear their hat backwards, b/c he’s being courted by Auburn as well.

36. James Stone – I think he’s sold on UT for many reasons, the depth chart, home state and the fact that UT has made him their highest in state priority. James is really big on academics, but in the end I think he’s going to see that starting as a true freshman isn’t possible at UT, it’s pretty damn likely. Alabama is going after Stone hard, but it’s unknown at this point as to whether Stone is a fan of Dodge Chargers or not.

38. Markeith Ambles – Again, WR DC will help. The fact that Ambles still made the trip to camp even though he was only going to get a half day says a lot. The biggest competition it seems for the Vols with Ambles would be Florida, which is bad for UT, considering the longstanding success Gaytor WRs have in the NFL… Uh… Wait a second…

57. Corey Miller – Corey was obviously really trying to impress the staff at camp. He’s another one I really think could easily fall in love with what UT can sell in reference to Monte’s record with fast DEs. Miller could possibly join Joyner at FSU, maybe so they each enjoy New Year’s Eve together every year, since FSU will never be allowed into a bowl game again because they are cheating bastards like Alabama.

Those are a few. I think Miller will move up before it’s said and done. But don’t forget about John Brown. If John got thrown into the Rivals 100, he could easily be as high as 20 and no lower than 50. I know I know, those are some highly ranked players and there are probably some fans of other schools out there thinking to yourself, “man this guy is dreaming”. It’s real bitches. That’s not sense talking, it’s fear.
