    opening paragraph says a lot:

    The last time I was in Knoxville was two years ago. Butch Jones had just arrived and the Vols were early in spring ball. It was stunning to see just how mediocre UT had become. It had the worst collection of skill talent from any power conference team I've ever seen.

    The program I spent three days around last week looked dramatically different.

    Yeah but what droski bolded is an exaggeration. We were pulling Top 25 classes annually. I'm sure they were overrated players, and I know there were defections, but still we weren't the woat talent wise.

    Yeah. The Big East is/was a power conference. Vandy and Kentucky are real.

    We'll he did say skill talent, not overall talent.

    Yeah, I drove through Durham and Winston-Salem, NC a few weeks ago. Those colleges are real too (at least they have exit signs.)

    RockyHill Loves Auburn more than Tennessee.

    At an orientation type event I learned Wake Forest is the smallest power 5 school, I had no clue.

    It's probably what I would've guessed. Them or Ohio State.

    The skill talent in the spring of 2013 was Godawful.

    Marquez North was our only offensive playmaker in 2013

    Look at the skill positions on that team (which is what Feldman was talking about): Worley at QB, Jacob Carter was the most seasoned WR on the spring 2013 roster, Coleman was CB #1 and Lane and Neal were the RB tandem. It was pretty bad.

    And Worley could barely get him the ball

    As much as I hate Butch on game days, he's done an unbelievable job flipping the roster. The talent he's accumulating on the dline will have us in contention every year, especially being in the east, but I think Butch will lose games he shouldn't
