We have so many talented, young receivers here and coming in next year that I'm not worried about Malone. Give me Barnett, Mosely, Humphreys, Jackson, and 2 JUCO linemen and I'll be the happiest man in Volnation.
Coach Butch Jones is really trying to do something special in state in recruiting. Kind of like how James Franklin really focused on the state at Vanderbilt, now Coach Jones is doing it at Tennessee so theyre kind of going head to head.
Get the sense from the article that if either in state school were to have a great season (10+ wins) they would likely be his favorite.
I know theyve been more of a power running team, he said of Florida. But they want to evolve the offense into a true passing offense so they say theyre committed to the passing game. They just have to show theyre committed to throwing it. The last few years theyve been running it like 40 times a game.
Barton Simmons sucksArticle written by Barton Simmons, the Vandy247 writer. Basically saying interested in Florida, FSU, Clemson, Vandy, Tennessee, and Georgia. The Vandy247 writer in his post drumming up the article mentions he thinks it is FSU/GA tied for first, followed, by Clemson, then Vandy.
From the article quote regarding UT:
"Tennessee is still in it. Coach Butch Jones is really trying to do something special in state in recruiting. Kind of like how James Franklin really focused on the state at Vanderbilt, now Coach Jones is doing it at Tennessee so theyre kind of going head to head.

I guess its time to move on 10 win, not this year from the get go i didnt think we were at the top of his list i think with all this talent coming in next year, might have scared him off a little, and if he is like that dont waste a scholly.:ermm:Remember we are TENNESSEE THE GREAT ONE.
Putting the most positive Big Orange spin on what appears to be an otherwise challenging recruitment, let us hope that Marquez North catches fire at an unusually early point for an incoming freshman. Simply as an indicator of the possible success that he might achieve early in his career, that development might persuade Malone to give us a closer look than he is presently inclined to take.
