Says JG, Warrior, Byrd, Bituli, Callaway, Williams, and Johnson all look great so far. Kongbo is up to 280. Tatum up to 275.

Also, Bituli could be Kirkland's backup at MLB. Would be YUGE if he's remotely as good as DK Jr was as a freshman.

Doubt he's as fast as DKjr sideline to sideline, but nice to hear he's looking good.

Anything to keep Colton Jumper off the field...

I can't even fathom having this much talent now. It has been so long.

I think team 120 could win 10 games without adding ANYONE from the 2016 class. And yet we've got guys coming in who could be immediate contributors on top of an already stacked roster.

Can't wait to see the new receivers and I hope Kongbo is as advertised.

Anybody who didn't like last years class is crazy. Vols got the best QB in the country, signed quite possibly the best DB and WR class in the country, and picked up an immediate help with Kongbo. The only reason the class wasn't top 10 is because they chose Tatum and Niehaus over Dickerson. Those two guys are great long term prospects with great size. They'll develop into great players imo. I loved last years class. I trust Butch on this class as well.

Bu, bu, but the '16 class was nothing compared to the '14 and '15 classes. Butchs recruiting is slipping.

I didn't even realize it until someone talked about this year being a bad class so far, but Butch's first class that he cobbled together (his worst) has 8 who are big contributors. Dobbs, Sutton, JRM, J. Smith, Kendrick, Weisman, Vereen, and Vickers. Pretty good for his worst class.

This team has got progressively stronger every year. This staff has remedied a major deficiency every year. Butch's recruiting has been stellar every year. This team was the youngest in the nation for 2 years (statistics, not propaganda) and is now a veteran crew with scars to match. This team was bereft of leadership, now is overflowing with it.

Guys, if you can't get excited about what is going on and what's about to happen, find a new interest in life, because this ain't for you.

Go Vols.

Nope.
Butch is on the verge of the hot seat after all of that. They'll tell you all about it

I haven't seen many people hate on the 2016 class. It was a Derrick Brown and a couple of extra 3*/low 4*s (if we had room) from being a top 10 class.

It also had the highest star average of any of Butch's classes.

Good point. If I recall, Kiffin's lone class didn't even have 8 guys still on the team 3 years later.

I'm pretty sure Dobbs, Weisman, and Vickers were the only additions.

Held onto Sutton though.
