Too many kids are interested in Tennessee and want to be a VOL!

See, this is how it should be and should have always been. And, I think, how it will continue to be for a while. What a difference a coach (and a little hard work and effort) makes, boys. We will be back.

GBO :good!:

I have spent the last 6 months watching for news on the new commits. Now I watch to see who decommits to make room for upgrades.

Just remember, Butch says "Brick by Brick", not house by house!

I'm not quite sure what we do with more commits than space but I'm pretty sure CBJ & Co know more about it than I do, so I'll trust them & not worry about it!

If we get Mosley and Thomas we will be sitting at 32... Then we still want another (RB), Two more JUCO (DL), Malone (WR), Sharpe(OL), Johnson(LB), and Adoree (CB). Sweet Jesus.

How many times in the past 5 years have we had the problem of going to signing day with spots hoping someone flips!!! This is a great class (so far) keep it up Butch, these kids believe in what your selling!!

Hahaha, yes! I changed it though because I don't want to even give the perception of negativity here. Just wanted to get a few blood pressure's up and then a nice chuckle.

What a welcomed change over the last few years.

He has had a great senior year, AND is very fast/quick. We were his first real offer, and that came immediately after he camped with us. The coaches saw something early, and obviously he has had a great year to back up what they saw. I for one, hope Dews stays and punks all of the negavols when he goes all sec

Me and you both. Dews was the first commit I have not heard of. And when I saw he was only a 2 star, I will admit I thought offering him was a head scratcher. So, I started looking at his HUDL highlights, and I saw a kid with a lot of upsides. The big worry was he looked a little thin in his junior year highlights for a linebacker. More recent photos I have seen of him shows he has been hitting the weights, and is filling out nicely. He is a listed at linebacker, but also lines up at end in some situations. On offense, he plays wide receiver well. Interested to see, assuming and hoping he remains a part of the class, which side of the ball he ends up playing. Definitely believe he will have an immediate impact on special teams.

This kid has potential. I just wish all the people who can't see past star ratings would take the time to get a closer look at him.
