can anyone give me a link to his announcement video? I'm in Florida and the 3G is awful. and it was funny, on the beach yesterday, once the rain stopped these guys had a Florida tent set up and we're talking about how important bates was to their class, and saying that they felt confident it was 50/50 UT and UF for bates and that they had a great shot. I was hopin I'd see them today, but the rain was horrible again. go vols :)

Its nice to hear recruits speak of the family atmosphere at Tennessee as to one of the main reasons in their decision. My question is if most of the previous staff are now coaching in very respectable programs, what the he!! is CBJ doing so differently than before. And don't tell me its the damn peanut butter or hot sauce

I've said this for a very long time but Dooley was a jerk and treated a lot of people around him like crap. I'm sure his personality rubbed a lot of the recruits the wrong way.

CBJ fosters the feeling of PRIDE in the University of Tennessee. He feels it, his staff feels it, and his players feel it.

So I don't know if that has been posted or not, and let's be honest I don't wanna wade through the last 30 pages of Booms to find out. But a very reliable poster on TOS who works in the College Athletics at a rival SEC program that was in the final 3 for Bates. ;) Stated that it was known all along by his program that Bates would choose UT, and the reason he even had Florida and Alabama in his final 3 was to have UT Beat them in a very public way on National T.V. and get good exposure for other recruits to see that Tennessee is beating out current top programs for top recruits. It adds up, and this guy has always been right. Had very good info on Mosley too.

Makes sense. Before the announcement, I knew he had too much respect for UT to put them in his final three agains those 2 and choose against us

He basically said that Mosley wants a change to play DT, and that Bama has a history of offering big bodies and telling them what they want to hear, and then signing them and doing whatever they want. Said that Bama already knows they are going to let mosley play DT his during his first year while he is redshirting, and then move him to Guard. Said Mosley would be smart to do the same thing Bates did and leave Bama in the top only to smite them down at the end. Said his info was that deep down Mosley really wants to play D.
