Big time pick up. Big.

 

The offer list on this guy looks really good.

Awesome! I really hope Butch and Co. are able to coach these kids up. They've got a great class going right now with everything considered.

 

I like this.

Hope his hat was up to snuff.

 

Everything considered? This is a great class regardless of situation, when you consider the steaming pile of shit he inherited what he and staff have done so far is miraculous.

 

It's hard to disagree with this sentiment. My biggest complaint is that it would be nice to see some more pickups for the O-line and D-line. It's still far better than we've seen in a long, long time.

 

That's what I meant by it. Considering the dumpster fire that has been UT for I don't know how long now...

 

Nice. Starting to get more defensive minded now

 

Still got like ten spots left. They desperately need to get some OL/DL. I think they will, what caliber is the question.

 

Well butch ****ing jones

 

Butch is going to have a good chance to succeed. The way I see it, good players plus good coaching wins football games. I know this is only one class but he is off to a strong start at having the "good players" part of the equation down. we are still at a wait and see on the "good coaching" part, at least as it pertains to the most elite conference in football. But we couldn't have asked for a better start in recruiting so far

 

I hear the train ah coming...

 

Huge p/u in so many ways!

 

Nice. Jones has been doing a hell of a job as of late on the recruiting trail.

 

Wow. What a pickup! I'm now genuinely impressed by Jones and co.

 

doesn't appear that these kids are afraid to play for Jancek and specifically Martinez. Db hall is ridiculous

 

Recruiting has been surprisingly stout. I hope 5 or 6 wins isn't a problem for these guys.

 

Yeah I think the numbers will work out because a couple of these kids IMO will back out after the reality of our upcoming season sets in.. And that's with Butch selling them on the future.

Apparently Jackson hasn't even visited Knoxville yet?
