Boom !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ritzman is the F-ing man. Way to rep the Vols.

I agree completely with that reasoning and think your right. I was more getting at using the reasoning of a tweet that said I'm a vol for life.

Yeah, that's the only thing at all I was basing my opinion on.

I see. :hi:

We now have a DE commit in each of the '14, '15 and '16 classes. the depth is building

Yeah, that's the only thing at all I was basing my opinion on.

Since he tweeted "I am now a Vol for life", I'd be really shocked if he doesn't keep his word.

:good!:

This is for you guys who know more than I do about recruiting. Is it normal to have has many commits as we do from players two years away from HS graduation?

For a lot of schools it is. Recruiting has been trending that way of late with kids committing sooner. At Tennessee we just came to expect slow starts and figured that would never change. Obviously if the right people are in place, we can recruit on a level playing field with anyone in college football. If these kids are being told that once they commit early(especially 2 years early) that visits to other schools will not be acceptable to the staff and they could lose their spot if they "look around", then I think it's great to get these kids on board early. Every kid who is a VFL today adds 1 more recruiter working to make us better.

Something to keep in mind. All of the '14 kids shut it down after commiting to the Vols. So you can expect the '15 kids to do it as well. I'm pretty sure Butch tells these kids don't commit unless you're comfortable shutting it down on the trail.

We have a lot of fans who have been hurt and scarred by young men changing their minds and leaving us at the altar...they can't enjoy anything fresh and exciting without thinking of the pain (cue HURT-Johnny Cash version)...best to pat their heads and tell them how pretty they are...and remove the razor blades

Grizz would hit it.

Grizz would hit it.

He said look at the expression. He already did.

I don't think it's too naive to be very confident about Butcher being a Vol 1.5 years from now.

He had a lot of family members go to UT, and he actually really likes UT. This is one of the few cases where a parent playing somewhere else isn't going to be a huge burden.

Please. You were all over anyone who said Santos would flip to Texas if offered. The proof is in the thread. Your confident predictions are $#!%.

Did you wager on Santos sticking?...You sound bitter or like you're dodging a bookie

"My first visit to Tennessee opened my eyes to the Vols," Butcher said. "The second visit made me feel like I was at home and I knew then that I wanted to be a Vol."

"It was extremely exciting," Butcher said. "I have been waiting to tell coach Jones for a long time and it feels great. The family tradition in the program. The tradition of the school. The great fanbase and my closeness to the staff are reasons why I'm a Vol. It's hard to describe. Tennessee didn't really sell me on anything. They are a program on the rise and that's obvious by what they are doing with the current signing class. But the biggest thing about Tennessee is that they are real. They are just who they are and they aren't selling you anything."

"I have been practicing with Constantin Ritzmann and he's been helping me with my pass rush," Butcher said. "I feel like that area of my game is really improving and I'm anxious to put it to work this fall." "I feel like I'm a lot stronger and I actually feel like I'm quicker," Butcher said. "My body is just really maturing and I have been focused on putting on good weight."

Saturday, Butcher and his entire family including his grandfather, his sister who attends Ole Miss as well as his parents, his girlfriend and his uncle spent the day talking in all the sights on Rocky Top touring facilities and visiting with coaches. Saturday night they are capping off the day with a family celebration dinner on the banks of Tennessee river in the shadows of Butcher's future home, Neyland Stadium.

This kid's SO highlights are beastly and he has two more years with a great coach to get better and stronger. He is gonna be insane when he gets to the Hill! Love this pickup!

If this were last year, everyone would be complaining because his offer list int very good.

1. It's not last year.

2. He's a '15 recruit, lots of time for more offers.

3. This staff has really shown a knack for spotting talent.

4. BUTCH GETS IT!
