True UTC has never really had luck with local players for one reason or another. Allison never really recruited locally and as you said family football has kind of left a bad taste and as expected ETSU coming back will take some players away. Giving the recruiting classes over the last few years I look for UTC to be SoCon champs again this year just depends on if they can fill the holes in the O-line and secondary

I'd have to give Furman a better chance on winning it outright this year. They have also recruited well the last few years and were very young last year. I know UTC beat them last year but Furman was playing their 4th string QB in that game and had a few more key players out due to injuries. Furman usually snags a good one or two out of TN each year.

Yeah Furman has been down for the last few years, but they have been putting together some good classes and did improve alot last year. Which really now that App St. and Ga Southern are gone, Furman is going to have to step up along with UTC Samford and Wofford to kind of fill that void that those two monster programs left.

Furman so far hasn't had any one commit from Tennesse but there is still sometime left.

All- State, All- Region, All- District, Defensive/Offensive MVP 2000+yds don't necessarily translate to offers...not even to the Mocs....they still look elsewhere.....it's sad that they let 3 locals get away to a team that will be in the same conference....I don't understand....it's not like they are a winning team ....but I digress...

I have disagreed with some of their recruiting decisions in the past but they are second in FCS now with several who apparently had FBS offers, it is hard to argue about their class. Are there any in particular you felt would be better than what they are getting, at their positions?

the locals are asked to walk on so they can sign the juco players who dont pan out eventually. And I know some that are advised by their coaches to ignore all letters until leadership changes . They wont fill that stadium until they get great talent locally and good leadership.

They rarely sign any jucos. One more commitment announced tonight, a running back, was offered by Air Force and Temple.

That would be a very nice addition to ETSU's first class back. ETSU is doing a very good job so far of rebuilding that program as far as recruiting and hires of staff.

Connor York from Upperman is suppossedly going to ETSU. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/973171/connor-york http://csnbbs.com/thread-660728-page-8.html Edited January 28, 2014 by UpperCumberlandMan

that's g8 but jucos are not rare. They just don't live up to expectations.

since you're on the Mocs jock tell me who they have from Chattanooga that would make an immediate impact thats on full scholarship. We got some good rbs right here in town. ETSU will be ready in 2015.
