- Butch hasn't announced OC hire because he's focused on finishing this recruiting class with less than a week til signing day
-Butch just got back from Memphis where he personally visited Ole Miss commit 5* OT Drew Richmond
-Visit went very well and ended with an agreement that Drew and his family will visit Knoxville this weekend, giving us the chance to make last impression
-Says Ole Miss media and fans are nervous because he previously refused to visit any other schools and now he's headed our way.
-Thinks he might flip but odds are in Ole Miss's favor still BUT we had NO chance before visit.
-Said Butch privately turned away "a handful" of 4* guys, indicating more cuts will be made from current commit list and that he likely has at least 2 planned for NSD
***EDIT*** the previous point was actually made by the 104.5 hosts after Hubbs hung up (3HL?) This was brought to my attention. Sorry for attributing this point to Hubbs. This was posted about 10 minutes after the interview and was entirely based on my memory. So, if you are for some reason offended that the 3HL guys made this point and not Hubbs, I am sorry. Either way, the hosts stated this fact based on their conversation with RH.
Lastly, he said TN COULD end up with #1 class if Richmond flips and we pick up one other 4-5*
As long as nobody flips from our current commits, we will 100% land a top-5 class, becoming the first time in school history with back-to-back top 5 classes. (Including Fulmer era)
All good news! That last fact surprised me. Butch has recruited better than ANY UT coach before him!
Hard to believe, but all I can say is I believe!
