Just spoke to Sawyers
Just spoke to Michael Sawyers, who absolutely raved about his visit. Said Josh Malone was his player host, loved the time he spent with Vols defensive line coach Steve Stripling and said it "was an unbelievable" experience when Butch Jones offered him his scholarship papers.
Said comparing UT now to what he had seen in the past was just night and day. Said everything was top-notch and what really stood out was Butch Jones' quest for excellence in all facets and loved the renewed academic emphasis at UT. Academics are a very important component for Sawyers.
Liked his time with Malone and Jason Carr. Malone, Jalen Hurd and some of those other guys Sawyers knows from the Midstate and recruiting circuit said what stands out most is that the Vols' coaches have not changed a bit from recruiting to getting onto campus. Same people, same demands.
Maybe best quote was "Butch Jones isn't going to be satisfied with an SEC Championship. He wants to win a National Championship."
Sawyers will pick from GT, Ole Miss and the Vols on Wednesday, with UT clearly leaving a very favorable impression this weekend.
Full story later on VQ.
