I feel bad for opposing wr. Gaulden, Kelly and McDowell can lay the freaking hammer down. Not to mention McNeil will be a hard hitting junior.

“just what coach jones is doing over there.”

“i mean, he has all the upcoming seniors recruiting hard, and they have something to believe in now that he’s here,” gaulden said at the time. “that’s good to see.”

“as soon as i saw a lot of big-time recruits jump on board, i mean, that opened my eyes a lot,” gaulden said. “(jones is) doing a good job over there.”

“they’re talking strictly corner for me,” gaulden said in may. “if that doesn’t go well, you know, they can always put me at safety. But they really like me, on my frame, as a cornerback, so we’ll see where that goes. That’s fine (with me). Like i said, i feel like i’m an athlete.

"I can remember in sixth grade, looking up to the guys at Brentwood Academy and seeing them going to play college football and wondering then if I could do that some day," said the articulate, four-star safety from Nashville. "I had no clue if I would be good enough to get some D-1 looks. It's mind-blowing, and I'm just taking it all in."

"I just felt a great chemistry with coach Butch Jones," Gaulden told VolQuest.com exclusively this week. "It was just a whole different feeling when I went up there and Coach hung out with me and my parents. We all really loved it and it felt like family."

"It really wasn't that much of a factor," Gaulden said of the peer recruiting from fellow UT commitments Vic Wharton and Todd Kelly Jr., among others. "I just said all along I was going to stay on track and commit when I felt ready. Not because anybody manipulated me to commit. I just really leaned on my parents and God."

"It means a lot to be this comfortable, and coach Jones had started recruiting me when he was at Cincinnati," Gaulden said. "He recruited me early when he got to Tennessee and gave me one of his first really reassuring offers that this staff was still going to recruit me and make me a priority."

"I really want to thank IFM, Buck Fitzgerald, Cedric Wilson and all those guys who helped me get better and really helped my recruiting take off," Gaulden said. "And really I just want to thank God. This is a great opportunity to play at the next level, and I just want to glorify Him in all I do."

its been hard to find jr high and hs kids in this area that are fans of UT because of the crap we have been through and the losing. Butch made a plan to get the help of lettermen and current recruits to show these kids that they will be among friends and family for 4 years on a close knit team and to get away from the bad funk and apathy that has been in the air here since Fulmer's last year. Butch is selling the total package, and it's working perfectly as far as recruiting.
I really can't believe it. After he was hired, I was pleased with what I thought he could bring, but had no idea this run had a chance to happen.
