Tennessee football recruiting!

[elwestb]

Vol fans, it appears that your new Coach Butch Jones is right now assembling one helluava recruiting class and working his butt off. You just may have a winner! RTR!

 

[BulletTJ]

The last poll I saw had TN with the #1 class in the country. I don't know how great he can coach but he can recruit. GO VOLS!

 

[Javelin33]

I think we've got a good one, as long as talent keeps coming in I have confidence that he can coach them. Can't get much worse than last year!!

 

[screwball]

Going to be an interesting 3 years!

 

[Smalliefan2]

Hope springs eternal. So far, we look better than we have in a lone time. GO VOL'S !

 

[Lucas]

GBO! We're going to bring it this year! emoToast

These are verbal commitments. Look for almost half to sign somewhere else next February.

Perhaps we know why you have to chew through the restraints. Love the optimism.

Javelin's right: Can't get much worse than last year. GO DAWGS!

These kids seem to be on board with whatever Butch is preaching. It helps Tennessee has more overall in state talent than there has been in a long time.

I'm a dawg fan born and raised but it will be nice when the vols get a little more competitive again.
GO DAWGS!!!

Agree! I miss the days when we owned Georgia year in and year out.

Kiffin had a good recruiting class too.

I think it is very exciting to see the work CBJ and company are doing in Knoxville. By big concern is that we are going to struggle this year... Which I believe all realistic Vol fans believe. I mean we go on the road to Oregon and Florida back to back weeks... I don't expect TN to win the games against Oregon, Florida, Georgia, SC, and Bama but we have to play competitively which I believe we will because I know that CBJ will not let his team quit no matter what the score of a game is... He have to be in those games to get these commits to buy into what CBJ is doing in Knoxville. He also has to have a signature moment this year even if its losing to Georgia in overtime or beating Vandy at home... Something to give him momentum and close the deal with these recruits come signing day. If we get blown off the field in a lot of those games then I do think we will lose a number of verbal commitments. However some of the best recruits from the 2014 "legacy" class will be enrolling in Knoxville in January which will help a lot!

It has been a while since I have been this excited about Tennessee football and I do believe CBJ is going to bring Rocky Top back to at least relevance and competing for the east crown within the next 3 years!

 

[Oldman]

yeah if they keep him that long.in the SEC you don't get long to produce a winner.

 

[NickJ5101]

I think a lot of people forget how close the TN Georgia game actually was this past year.

Very true!

 

[backlasher]

Just hope he can coach as good as he recruits. Fired up for the future! Go Big Orange!

 

[saltyduck]

He will get at least 3-4 years. Dave Hart grudgingly fired Dooley after getting destroyed by Vandy. Had that game been close Dooley would still be the coach. They will give him every opportunity to win at UT

 

[offshore]

He's a proven winner. 4 conference titles in 6 years. I understand it wasn't in the SEC but his system works if the players will just buy into it. I'm like you Shane, I haven't been this pumped about the vols in a long time. Butch will bring rocky top back to prominence! 39 days boys!
