Who are the players that Butch has failed to correctly evaluate, utilize, develop or otherwise wasted, while at Tennessee? Better, how exactly did he fail / lie / misuse / abuse those players? I can't begin to know them all, but thought an exhaustive list might be enlightening. RUNNING LIST (Mods feel free to edit as valid names appear): 1. Alvin Kamara 2. Riley Ferguson 3. Nathan Peterman 4. Jalen Hurd 5. Kyle Phillips 6. Dillon Bates 7. Drew Richmond 8. Khalil McKenzie 9. Vic Wharton 10. Preston Williams 11. Shaq Wiggins 12. Justin Worley 13. Josh Dobbs 14. DeAndre Payne 15. Coleman Thomas 16. Marquez North 17. Daniel Bituli 18. Justin Coleman 19. Neiko Creamer 20. Justin Martin 21. Tyler Byrd 22. Jonathan Kongbo 23. Alexis Johnson 24. Jakob Johnson
Worley, Dobbs, Peterman, DeAndre Payne, Marquez North, Coleman Thomas, Hurd, Kamara, Bituli, I'll think of more
Alvin Kamara Riley Ferguson Nathan Peterman Jalen Hurd Kyle Phillips Justin Bates Drew Richmond Khalil McKenzie Vic Wharton Preston Williams Shaq Wiggins This is off the top of my head, and may not be accurate and/or worthy of inclusion. I'd welcome any corrections.
Ferguson was a little self induced. He didn't run with the opportunity. Kyle Phillips has had multiple shoulder surgeries and is on the field quite a bit now.
Jakob Johnson Drew Richmond Neiko Creamer Justin Martin Khalil McKenzie Kongbo Tyler Byrd Alexis Johnson
Others have brought this up on other social media outlets recently, and to be fair, have said it’s around the average for most programs. Maybe UT is a tick higher.
Marquez Callaway And I don't see him being utilized any more this year as long as Butch Jones is our coach.
I think it's more than that. This is, granted a small sample size and 5 years old, one of the few articles I could find. The NCAA doesn't keep transfer and attrition stats. http://www.espn.com/espn/wire/_/section/ncf/id/7525479
Too many to think of, better question for me is who is a player he actually made better? I can't name one.
