But you can read and post in it too if you want.
Basically the arc seems upward for my Vols, whereas the future seems like a wasteland of shit for my Cowboys for at least the next few years until Garrett is shatcanned. So I'm going to start directing more of my fandom back to my favorite college team.
Just beat the piss out of Northwestern yesterday, so there's room on the bandwagon if you want in.
Tennessee Football recruiting: Vols land two commitments
January 1, 2016 by Matthew Dossett
The Tennessee Volunteers football club kicked off the 2016 New Year with a bang. The 23rd ranked Volunteers dismantled the 12th ranked Northwestern Wildcats in the Outback Bowl game. It was a total beat down and a complete drubbing from the outset. The Vols dominated from the jump and pieced together a complete performance, winning the contest 45-6. After the in game fireworks, the big orange made some noise on the recruiting trail for 2016 recruiting class.
Tennessee had two players hop onboard and commit to head coach Butch Jones and the Tennessee Volunteers football program. Both of the commitments were from prospects who truly fill needs. Offensive lineman Nathan Niehaus and corner back Baylen Buchanan decided to pull the commitment trigger immediately after the Vols decisive victory over the Northwestern Wildcats.
Let’s go next level with offensive lineman Nathan Niehaus. Niehaus was the first commit to pop Friday afternoon. Nathan Niehaus is an offensive tackle prospect out of Colerain High School, which is located in Cincinnati, Ohio. Niehaus was formerly a West Virginia Mountaineer commitment who decided the pull the ole switcharoo to the Volunteers.
Niehaus is listed as a guy who is a hair over 6’6 and 260 pounds. Make no mistake about it, this guy has the frame to pack on some serious weight and muscle. He should thrive in the Tennessee strength and conditioning program. Do not be alarmed if he eclipses the 300 pound mark at some juncture in his Tennessee football playing career.
Niehaus has gigantic upside to his game. He has phenomenal length and athleticism. He is a guy that lives and breathes football. He is a high character guy and a maximum effort offensive tackle. Another word to describe Nathan Niehaus would be versatility. He could play tight end, offensive tackle, or offensive guard. He is more than likely to be a tackle at the collegiate level, though. This youngster is pretty much a consensus three star according to all the who’s who of recruiting evaluation websites.
The second commitment domino to fall was cornerback Baylen Buchanan. Buchanan is a high three star recruit from Peach Tree Ridge High School, in Suwanee, Georgia. Buchanan is only 5’11 but he is pretty stout; he weighs in around 190 pounds. He is a blazer with burning speed. Recently he was clocked running the 40 yard dash at 4.49 seconds.
This defensive back has turned heads of scouts and coaches alike. The scouting report reveals that he is a guy with a ton of upside. Buchanan has superior instincts and he is not afraid to stick his nose in there and make a play. Buchanan is very physical at the line of scrimmage. He also has the ability to not just play cornerback, but play either free safety or strong safety. Baylen Buchanan is pegged as a high three star but has the potential to eventually be seen as a four star.
