You stated Harbaugh coming back loses Kirkland and that we lose all the top rated Tennessee kids this year...that and the "mass defections" would signal the end for Butch...I'm pretty sure you used to post as rcvol...you have the exact same style.
On an off topic, this friggin commentator is pissing me off saying that Kirkland is undecided! He said it TWICE & how many commitments do we have there cuz they really didn't mention us at all!

Not even close. He may have been in practice but in game he didn't do much. Jack Jones got several snaps against him and did really well vs Cowart.... Phillips made these tackles look like middle schoolers
Wow what a great week to be a Tennessee Vol! Chavis leaves LSU, Martin commits, no championship game for Bama, Tennessee absolutely dominates in their bowl, and then we get Phillips commitment today! Excuse me while I go do some back flips!! GBO!!!!
Butch is really blowing it in-state this year. 2 of the top 10 is not going to get it done. Amadi is #11 and not a huge deal but losing Phillips at #2 is discouraging to say the least. The top 10 prospects in the state are now committed.

If Butch is going to lose 5-6 of the 4 star players then we can no longer say we had a top 5 class. The reason why they left does not matter. Going forward, I will be suspect of any class that Butch signs. If he can win by running off top tier talent then I will be the first in line to congratulate him. I don't think that style is going to work and will lead to his downfall, but it is his behind that is on the line.
No more free passes for Jones. He recruited these players and in the end he is responsible. I am tired of hearing excuses. We cannot say we had a top 5 class at this point. Losing 5-6 of the 4 star players has reduced the 2014 class to a mediocre level. That is the reality, you either keep the players or you give up saying it was a top 5 class. Excuses as to why it happened are irrelevant. Good for discussion but irrelevant.
