Of course it is always great to be a Vol fan, this day is only sweeter. The birth of a class that will begin to turn things around into national prominence again.Amen!

I hope I'm wrong, and if I am I'll be the happiest wrong fan in the history of sports, but this class is making me feel queasy right now. Hopefully Butch is a more astute judge of talent than the "experts."

Why are you queasy? A top 25 recruiting class? A top QB prospect, WR, some good defensive talent and most of it has been done in a short time by a new staff. Sure its not top in the SEC but lets fast it, over the last few years we have fallen to near Kentucky levels on the field and the 98' NC is all but forgotten. Things will make a turn around and this class is the beginning.

Time for everyone who is going crazy to TAKE A LAP! This class had some high-profile misses, sure. So, punch the wall, kick the cat, and take a spin through the drive-thru.

Now that it's out of your system, take a look at what we did get.

Then recognize that much of what we've got at UT is better than much of what our coaches have had before. And, with less talent they've outdone UT by miles over the last 3 years.

So, trust the hands. We're ok. This is a good day!

Go Vols!

What does that mean? You don't think he was going after good players?

Nothing about today was great. Could this class turn out to be great? Yes, but today is not great.

wake up. We are still on Ky level. We are 11 and they are 13. We suck and will continue sucking. We are at the bottom and that is where we will remain. Tennessee is done! Don't be queasy, you should be down right sick!

No doubt he went after some good ones, but I meant that I'm hoping his "gets" turn out better than the stars next to their names would indicate.

its amazing how good of a class we got considering the coaching staff and considering our coach was like the 5th or 10th guy we wanted ! we are so lucky!!!

I can't believe some of the people on here. Scratch that, I can believe it. The expectations from some of these fans has gotten to the point of delusion. I'm happy with this class and comforted by the fact that we were in on a bunch of recruits when we had no business being in the discussion. Now Butch can focus on getting things right on the field, which is what I'm most concerned about. IMO, it's a great day to be a Vol!

Let's be realistic! For as far back as I can remember, Tennessee has never had a #1 football recruiting class. Florida, FSU, Alabama, Notre Dame, Texas to some extent, Georgia, South Carolina(in the past 6 years), Auburn, USC(w) and Michigan, Ohio State have mostly always been ahead of us in recruiting. I've seen many recruiting shows on ESPN, SportsSouth etc. where Tennessee was never mentioned or only mentioned in an "also-ran" context.......regardless of who the HC is or was. Only time, not the number of stars, will tell whether this is a "good" class or a GREAT class. GBO!

Some of you people need think about what you are saying about our newest Vols. We missed on a couple of big names but that does not give anyone any reason to be labeling this class a failure before they ever even play a game. Maybe we have a staff that can actually coach them up now. Nobody knows until we play a game. Let's get behind our Vols and shew them our support. Go Vols!

i don't believe people necessarily had expectations. they had hope.

they know what it will take to get tennessee back to the program people here want it to be.

and this wasn't it. it was far from it and most people recognize that.

and so, people are that much more down in the dumps because they know the time table got pushed back again.

imo, they are absolutely right
