Another player decommitting

Butler's offer list was not that impressive and as another poster mentioned, may not be physically up to standards to play in the SEC yet. I think the Vols are trending up with better recruits here in the closing days and Pruitt is making some room(JMO). Smashing IU in a bowl game sure wouldn't hurt either.

This recruiting cycle will have a lot of NegaVols eating a large steamy dish of crow. They must like it. Maybe it’s ok with hot sauce.

I hope you are correct. I myself am getting a bit nervous as ESD approaches and we are still hovering in the upper teens in class ranking. Hope CJP and staff haul in some! big surprises down the stretch. Go Vols!!!

Well even after signing day last year some were grumbling that it wasn’t a top ten class. A year later and arguably we may have signed the best group in the country and helped us turn the corner. Next year at this time I think it will be clear that the ‘20 class is the one that puts us back on top.

I will cross my fingers and hope for the best. I think Pruitt is the best we have had in a loooong time at evaluating kids. I know it is only a matter of time

It looks like Pruitt is freeing up more space to get some better rated talent. As much as I feel for the ones we are asking to move on, it's nice to be able to be in a position to go get better talent. Let's keep building the momentum in recruiting. Hopefully we get to sign some of the big fish we are going after.


Alabama edge rusher parts ways with Tennessee

For the second consecutive day, one of Tennessee's Class of 2020 commitments officially has parted ways with the Vols.

Three-star senior defensive end/linebacker Jimari Butler of Murphy High School in Mobile, Ala., announced Tuesday morning that he has decommitted from Tennessee after taking an official visit to Nebraska over the weekend.

The 6-foot-5, 217-pound Butler gave the Vols one of their most recent commitments on Nov. 8 after visiting them Oct. 5 to attend their home game against Georgia. Now, a little more than a month later, he's back on the market leading up to next week's early signing period.

Tennessee also received a commitment Monday from four-star defensive lineman Omari Thomas of Briarcrest Christian School of Eads, Tenn., one of its longtime top targets, and parted ways with junior-college defensive back commitment Art Green on Monday afternoon. Following Butler's departure, the Vols now are left with 17 known commitments for the 2020 class.

Go Vols!

We only have like 65 scholarship players. We need 25 every year for the foreseeable future.

With 65 scholarship players, we can’t sign 25. That would put us over the 85 limit. So, if we can only sign 18-20, we may have to let a few go to replace them with better players.

Are any of the 65 leaving? If not, which players would you cut their scholarship's next year in order to bring in top High School talent?

I see there's a few here who either don't follow recruiting or don't understand how it works. Just so some wont be shocked you may see more "decommitments" in the near future. This time of the year the gate is swinging both ways on recruiting. Its actually a good thing for the kid sometimes to be told what might be the best for him.
