'10 TN DE Jacques Smith

Quote:
As for his own recruiting process, Smith said most of the calls from other programs ended once he went public with his intention to graduate in December so he could enroll at UT for the spring semester. The only school that has maintained contact is Alabama, but according to Smith, that was because he poor-mouthed the campus after visiting.

"Alabama coaches have said I'm the first player to ever say he didn't like the campus, so they want me to come back down for one more visit," Smith said. "When I went there, it just felt awkward. None of the players or coaches were talking to each other or interacting like we had at Tennessee. I got the impression that I didn't want any of the guys they had committed to be my teammates.

"Coach (Ed) Orgeron said he doesn't mind and told me to go ahead. He said those visits will just make me feel even better about coming back home to Tennessee. My job right now is to help UT be the program it used to be. Those good old days need to be now, in the present. And I want it to be that way not just for my four years but even beyond that. I want to come back like Peyton Manning and keep an eye on things and make sure it's going the way it should."
End

You got to love that

Something tells me this guy is the next Vols' defensive football legend.

He'll pick up where EB leaves off.

What number will he wear?

I didn't know if I'd have another experience like Berry has provided. The pride of knowing that young man is a Vol is amazing. Knowing JS is on his way is almost more than I can take!!!

not asking for a title or respect. Lord have mercy. Just love recruiting. Relax. It's the same three people that get their panties in a wad.

I have followed the vols for decades and I as passionate as can be about the Vols. I lurked on this site for years before getting an account. I am very new on the whole blogging and it's ettiquette so sorry. I had no idea that was so bothersome to people. When I say that I am a recruiting fanatic, I really mean it and have been so for years!

Don't give two poops about titles. I dont even know what they mean. I posted some of those redundant messages thinking that there are people that occasionally pick a thread and maybe wanted a link for more info. Threads seem to get burried for weeks and when they do emerge their might be a newby that is trying to catch up. So a thread pertaining to J Smith who is talking about Scroggins might help the passerby individual pick up info on either especially if a thread is forgotten about for weeks or even months.

I'll stop, sorry. I love this stuff and have loved it longer than some fans have been alive. But don't want to po fellow VN guys.

This is my first post on this site even though I have read many of the post for about 5 months now. I attend Ooltewah and are on the team. Jac is one of my good friends and all he ever talks about it tennessee. You would be surprised about how much he knows about recruiting we talk about it all the time and he is very insightful. He is an incredible player. During spring pratice he played full contact with no pads and still hurt 2 kids.

This kid hasnt gotten a ton of hype this recruiting season since, well, he's pretty much ALL VOL, and we dont have to speculate where he will go, if we'll get a visit, etc. But I still believe that 4 years from now this kid my be the defining recruit out of this class.

He has so much heart and bleeds orange, and to boot he has a TON of talent, mix that with excellent coaching and his productivity could be...deadly. Im psyched hes on our side!

I love the all-Vol attitude this kid has. I have a feeling he will be one of everyone's favorite players in a few years. I believe he will represent the university well.

He pushes everyone on the team cause his drive to win is unreal. I play quarterback and i love throwing to him( he plays tightend as well for us). He is a true leader and outworks everyone.
