Well I agree with the blasting guys who have no shot at catching a ball but all this targeting stuff is a load of crap.

Agreed. Remember when Eric Berry knocked Knowshon into next week? He would've been ejected for that with these new rules.

Quick notes on Wolf and McDowell...

Both commitments had a great weekend and said it was just good to hang out again with coaches, players and coaches families.

McDowell said there was nothing really new to learn about Tennessee. He was here for the Vanderbilt game but it was his first time being in town to hang out with coaches family since Foundation Day and that was the highlight of his trip.

McDowell also visited with Tennessee's baseball staff as he hopes to play college baseball. He is participating in a Major League Baseball event in January, but is focused on being a two sport athlete in college. He's right at 200 pounds after losing some weight during the season. He expects to add it back to 210 or so this spring.

"It was just great getting to be around the coaches and all their families again," McDowell said. "It had been a while since the Foundation Day that I have been able to just hand out with everyone. It was a lot of fun."

McDowell, who will arrive in Knoxville this summer, helped lead Locust Grove High School to their first playoff game this season, finished his high school career with 20 catches for 185 yards and a touchdown in his final prep game.

"It was our first playoff game and I wanted to go out with a bang," McDowell said. "The coaches used me in a lot of different ways in the pass game. It wasn't just a deep route. It was short stuff and rail routes, slants and stuff like that."

"I want to get back up to 205-210 pounds and to add muscle. Getting stronger this winter will help me not only to be ready in the summer, but also will help me in baseball as well."

“It was a good trip,” “I just came to hang around with the coaches and the families of the coaching staff and stuff like that. I had a good time this weekend."

“It just made everything a lot stronger. This weekend, just seeing the coaches with their families and how we all just mixed and mingled together, it was really special.”

“We were breaking down my highlight tape and seeing the positives and some of the stuff I’m going to work on before I come up to Tennessee,” McDowell said. “I need to work on wrapping up better, because I’m good at not wrapping people up when I tackle. I’ve really got to work on just form tackling, really, more than anything.”

“Me and Cameron have grown up together,” McDowell said. “We played rec ball together until we got to high school, so me and him have been real close. Me and Cam’s high schools played against each other the past few years.”

“We still will just, like, check in with each other to see how each other’s been doing, mainly. That’s pretty much just Auburn, and that’s really, like, just to see how I’ve been lately and stuff like that,” he said. “I’m not too sure about (whether I will take) any other officials. I mean, I’m really not too sure. I’ll have to talk with the coaches and see. I’m pretty much just set on Tennessee.”

Said Auburn still contacts but they are "not recruiting (him) anymore."

While others rise... it's all expected. This class is going to be top 5 at best, top 10 at worst. Nothing to worry about because CBJ has it under control.

I was just more worried for the kids. I mean these guys bust their butts to be the best they can be and I am sure when they hear about them dropping, it has to weigh on them.

No worries about Butch, he is going full Butch :good!:

Good to know we have fans telling committed players to "shut the f*** up" on Twitter.

Tweet from Ryan Callahan 247 about 20 minutes ago:

#Vols safety commit. RT @Cortez_mcdowell he made his decision, UT won't be his home. accept it and move on and let's get other recruits.

Anybody know anything about this? Sounded like from the quotes in this thread above he is pretty solid for UT.

Hubbs has a video interview up on VQ with McDowell at the O&D Bowl in Orlando. Hubbs said that the first thing he noticed is that UT has like 7-8 UT commits at the game and all showed up sporting UT gear. McDowell said they're proud of what they're going to do and want to show the colors and let everyone know UT is in town. He said they're all bonding and really enjoying it and will be together all week wherever they go.

Hubbs asked about if other schools contact him and if he listens. McDowell said, "I'm all Tennessee. I won't change my commitment." He then talked some of the playoff game where he had 20 catches at WR and how baseball season is about to start but he's dedicated to playing FB at UT. And then in comes Charles Mosley with the video bomb lol. He slid his face in front of the camera and pulled out his phone as if he was a reporter recording McDowell's answers, it was hilarious. That was good stuff.
