To be fair, we haven't been able to hear from the majority. Especially the young Pruitt recruits.
With any luck, there's an entire section of little JJ's testing their wings as we speak.

Hey, I like the way you think! Makes total since. Probably why JJ doesn’t talk much to the media. He’s teaching them about snakes in the grass and how to be a legend on campus and in our hearts 💯💯💯💯💯

Shouldn’t the coaches clear the way for players that wanna play? He’s admitting to playing guys with no ‘want to’??

But they have the talent and he’s trying to get the “want too” out of them? The players that wanna play may not be ready “Gray getting trucked” but they may have to get thrown out in the fire.

Ok I’m glad y’all are seeing the Dog for what he is. I have a great story about his Senior year at Blackman.

Mid season and the team had gone through an awful week. Several players had been suspended prior to Independence game. Independence was no joke.

Blackman could not stop slant. Can’t think of that receiver that went to Michigan from there but dude was destroying Blackman. Blackman was down 42-14 at beginning of 4th quarter. JJ goes to each and every player on sideline looks them in the eye and said we are going to win this game. Stay in this.

Independence has the ball. They try that slant and JJ blasts that WR. No more. That play was done. Could feel it shift then. Blackman gets the ball and he goes off. They could not stop him. Band playing Drop it like it’s hot as JJ moves down the field. Blackman scores 27 straight points and are down 1 with 11 seconds to play when he asked to go for two. Got it the Blaze won 43-42.

Kid has always been on another level of competitor.

Sometimes thats your best option. Just because someone has the want to doesn't mean theyre ready. What if he put someone out there who wasn't ready size or muscle wise and they got seriously injured that wouldnt be a good look

I remember the recruiting thread and you was giving us details of that night! JJ deserves to be retired as a Vol great. Idc what any of you say. He called out Butch for what he really was & the Florida TD is framed in my living room.

Unfortunately, you really do have practice hero syndrome. Have to go by practice until battle tested.
We'll see if there's any changes on the way as he weeds through them.

Fingers crossed.

Side note:

Kratom isn’t as bad as people say. I’ve been on it for two months now & slowly increased my intake. I’ve lost a total of 27 pounds and feel better than ever.

Believe nothing you hear and half of what you see. No doubt he had a meeting with Pruitt but I am sure it was nothing but support. I don’t believe that story in that “he will be monitoring closely”

The fact it’s being talked about gets me hype thinking about it..I never believed it to be true considering this is a message board.👀🤷🏽‍♂️ Nothing wrong with believing in something even if it isn’t true.we teach our kids about Santa,the Easter bunny and the tooth fairy,it doesn't make us bad parents just cool ones.Fulmer steering this ship to glory would be “cool” considering how he got fired after all done for us as fans and a university.have some fun.👀🤷🏽‍♂️😁🤘🏽🍊 go vols.
