It's kind of funny you said that because a week or so ago I was thinking Jarrett was probably never coming here because he couldn't be sure that Pruitt wouldn't move him to CB. I mean I don't know that but it did cross my mind. Last spring Alontae is showing out at WR, he's moved to CB. This spring Gibbs is showing out at WR, he's also moved to the secondary. I guess Keyton isn't fast enough for the secondary. It may end up being difficult for us to recruit elite WRs if they can't be sure they'll get to play that position with us. jmo.

I’m seeing an awesome highlight video for when we win the SEC in a few years. It starts by showing how we sucked under Dooley and the intern, the drafts with no picks, the mocking by the media.

Then it shows this gif, then the hiring of Fulmer, then the hiring of Pruitt, then the foundation recruits of Morris, Wright, Crouch, and others, followed by highlights of games and ultimate holding the trophy. Would be epic.

Popular thing now is you have to have the Titanic music running in the background.

Something you CANNOT help but have fun with when you catch up on the thread all at once.

VN "Let's be honest about Jones"

This draft tells you all you need to know about Butch’s supposed “good” recruiting that people like to bring up when comparing him and Pruitt.

Hank like "Quick, Dooley, Pruitt"

HankHill said:
You’re only as good as your head coach. Dooley had a good staff too. It’s all up to Pruitt.

VN "anyway, we have the final proof on where we stood after Jones"

Vols4us said:
Botch sold his way to millions and millions of dollars at the expense of the UT football program, some of the players, and all of the fanbase.

Hank like "But Barnes!!"

HankHill said:
Genuinely asking.. does rick Barnes have the best contract ever for a coach that has never Even played for a national title?

VN "Whatever Hank, we're accepting where we really stand after the CBJ era"

No. One of the interviews this spring said he didn't really want to last year but this year he's bought in. I think it was Pruitt who said that when talking about how much and why Alontae had improved so much this year.

Well either way it’s good he did because he’s one of the top DBs in the SEC behind probably Fulton from LSU and Henderson from UF. (Both will probably be 1st rounders next year)

I don't disagree with that at all. It did cross my mind though that Jarrett might wonder. Pruitt has made no secret about the fact that he wants guys in the back end who are used to having the ball in their hands on offense in high school.

DB is the position to be right now. Teams are always in sub sets now so rarely if ever is there less than 5 DBs on the field (counting safeties)

Alontae was always going to be a corner at a real program. Saban recruited him as a corner, same as Kirby. Butch wanted WR, should tell you how that would've turned out. Jarrett is a 5 star WR, why would corner cross anyones mind.
