Chris Donald was easily one of the best LB / WDE coming out of high school. He looked like he had all of the physical attributes, and a killer instinct for finding the ball. You weren't exaggerating with those comparisons, that I'd even argue that he looked like the second coming of Mike Stonebreaker when it came to those amazing instincts.

For him to drop off the face of the earth, makes me wonder what went wrong.

For that matter, the fact that the only winning season with Tennessee's amazing class of 2007 came in 2009, when they went 7-6, shows how bad the management must have been.


On another note, that was the year of our losing a lot of silent and verbal commits. At the time, Charlie Weis had made the mistake of taking them at their word when they were looking around, and not finding replacements.

Chris Donald - went to Tennessee
Martez Wilson - went to Illinois
Aurellius Benn - went to Illinois
Justin Trattou - went to Florida
Greg Little - went to UNC
Chris Little - went to FSU

I think there were one or two more that I can't quite remember.
