I am sure the Vols staff will get whoever it is they deserve to get. No need to worry about it.

UT staff losing Jones is not concerning. He was destined for Alabama due to his family. He actually said that UT's on-campus recruiting was better than any other school he visisted. And he visited a lot of schools. Walls is not a concern because his decision came down to one thing. Distance was THE factor. He is only going to be 45 minutes from home at Ole Miss. Hightower is one that I am not sure about. I dont really know exactly why UT did not do as well on his recruitment.

he said it's either Vandy or Bama. Sad. I know that Dawson was high on him. I have to give Phil the benefit of the doubt, but it sure doesnt look right now.

Yea he's from Marshall County. To be honest I was not impressed with him when we played him last year.

I think that were wanting to take Higher DE's..
such as Leon Mackey or his teammate Couples, who is supposedly got outstanding potential
so the fact that we dont get hightower, is no big loss in my opinion, cuz we could get two better guys

after last year's class im not too worried. Also, if we make it to the SECCG or even win the SECCG I think that may help a bit. But the class this year really isn't that bad. Would be nice to get a Lawrence Guy and McClain to finish it off though
