Coach Gillespie actually offered me when he was at West Virginia, Paulk told InsideTennessee. We have known each other for a while. As soon as he got to Tennessee we were talking on Facebook. He has been messaging me on there and talking about how excited he is about Tennessee. I am probably going to call him soon.
"I have Tennessee as my favorite right now," Paulk told Scout on Wednesday.
Tennessee has been recruiting me a lot, he said. I have gotten letters from every coach on staff there. Coach Graham even called me when he was leaving and said they would get someone in there who was a good coach. He told me not to worry.
Coach (Butch) Jones and I talk all the time, Paulk said. We have a pretty good relationship. He calls me and talks to me on Facebook all the time. I think that was what I was the most impressed with on my visit was Coach Jones.
My boy Ryan Jenkins is about to be there and that is cool, he said. He is always talking to me about Tennessee. I talked to a lot of the players when I was there and they were cool. I spent time in the dorms and just hanging with those guys. It was like a family.
