Anyone have the quotes on the D’onte Thornton visit? 247 has an article.

“I liked it a lot. It was good as a whole, overall,” said Thornton, who’s ranked the No. 41 overall prospect and No. 6 wide receiver in the industry-generated 247Sports Composite for the 2021 class.

“The facilities, how big they were and the way they looked, that surprised me.”

The 6-foot-4.5, 185-pound Thornton said he “was coming down to see how it was” after learning of his offer from Tennessee almost two months ago. He said Joe Osovet, the Vols’ director of programming for football, has been in contact with him over the past couple of months and made it clear they’re high on him.

“He said they’re very interested in me,” Thornton said of Osovet. “I’m one of the top receivers they’re recruiting in my class, and they want me there.”

His trip to Knoxville this weekend, which primarily allowed him to attend Tennessee’s “Rocky Top Cookout” on Friday evening, gave Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt and wide receivers coach Tee Martin a chance to tell him the same thing.

“(Martin) said that I’m a very good player. He said I’m very talented and they’d love to have me play here,” Thornton said. “I talked to Coach Pruitt (on Friday), too. Mostly everybody was saying the same thing — that they really like my skill set and they’d love to have me here.

If y'all found out that Tennessee football demise was directly linked to the fact that it was unwilling to break NCAA rules by paying players to recruit student-athletes and that literally every other university in the SEC was guilty of recruiting violations for each signee, would you cut Dooley and Jones any slack?
