'15 WI DT Kahlil McKenzie (UT Signee 2/4/15)

This is how it went down.

<Phone call>

Butch: Hey!! How's the best player in the country!!??

Kahlil: Hey coach. You know, I'm just out here grindin' e'ry day.

Butch: I saw that clip of you and some other kid, you ate his lunch... and his daddy's lunch!

Kahlil: Haha.

Butch: Hey, you know what we talked about earlier, with you making the big splash on NSD?

Kahlil: Yep

Butch: This is the thing. You are the foundation of this class. No one can build upwards, until you've laid that foundation. You see where I'm goin' with this?

Kahlil: Yep

Butch: Kahlil, I need you leading your class from the FRONT. We need you on board now, so you can help us bring in champions. I tell you what. Why don't you drop the bomb on e'rybody at The Opening. That way, you can get the coverage that you deserve, and let em' all know up there where THE football is going to be played for the foreseeable future. Can you dig it?

Kahlil: Yeah coach. I think they all know already. Volnation is all about the bucket hat, but let's get this thing going.

Butch: Boom BABY! That's what I like to hear!! That's why you are the leader of this class. Hey, put your dad on the phone, will ya? I want to schedule him in here for a pre-game speech this season.


... and that, ladies and gentlemen, is what has transpired.

Has Kahlil even said much about Arizona? I don't recall much, especially after his UT campus visit.

That is the only thing that concerns me about this...Arizona came out of the blue and really makes no sense here at all...He never wears their stuff or tweets about them...There has to be something we don't know about here...

Distance from his dad and he said he loves the coaches there.. Has me kinda weirded out too.. But surely to God he would've shown more love to AZ than he has.. The only board I can find of theirs looks like a third grader created it.. Their recruiting isn't a forum, it's a thread with everything mixed into one because they obviously don't care 1/100000 of what we and the rest of the SEC care about football.

Either he is planning to shock the world and go to Arizona to play basketball Or he needs more than one hat on the table for some limited, minuscule amount of suspense.

:good!:

I can actually hear Butch saying every last word with that semi-hoarse voice.
 
Wow! Big time get. Don't want to count the chickens before they hatch, but I agree this feels like Bates 2.0. This class could end up better than 2014's class. Amazing.
 
Ryan Callahan on who could commit to Tennessee early...

McKenzie, who’s the son of former Tennessee standout Reggie McKenzie and the nephew of former Vols offensive lineman Raleigh McKenzie, recently has gone back and forth on when he might be ready to end his recruitment. But he announced Tuesday night on his Twitter account that he plans to make his college choice known on July 10. McKenzie named Tennessee his leader less than two weeks ago, and he said Tuesday night that he plans to choose between Tennessee and Arizona. All signs point to the Vols being the team to beat for McKenzie, and UT has received 97 percent of the predictions on 247Sports’ Crystal Ball.
