The post hire threads are hilarious. :lol: Doom and gloomers waxing poetic over not hiring Trooper Taylor and "losing" Jay Graham.

I liked both Trooper and Graham but I'm not sure that Trooper would have fit in with Butch's program and Jay either had money or time issues here so he left. Not sure he wanted to work the hours that he was expected to work. I believe that Butch is very demanding to his staff on what he expects from them.

Jay Graham had trouble recruiting the RB position at Tennessee. FLA ST. Was more established at his position, which made it an ideal move once his was approached. That is my opinion. The transfer was purely a professional move IMO.

Too bad his juco stuff is private on hudl. His SR highlights from HS are really strong. I wonder if he wasn't talked about much due to grades in HS. Looks like an obvious D1 talent in HS

Some quotes from Scout:

"They were extremely excited when I gave them the news," Johnson shared. "They were all as happy as I've ever heard them. They want me to come in and play the 3-technique right away. They'll play me all over the line but that sounds like it will be my primary spot."

The decision to play football in the SEC has been one that has been on his mind for quite a while.

"I had been thinking on it hard," Johnson discussed. "I have been talking to my parents, other family members, and my coaches about it to make sure they supported it. It was time to make the decision. I called up Coach Jones and Coach Stripling so I could make it official."

The elite junior college prospect's official visit to Tennessee cemented his choice to be a future Volunteer.

"A lot of the decision had to do with the visit," Johnson noted. "I've had my eyes on Tennessee a long time, though. Even out of high school it was the school I really wanted to hear from and receive an offer from. They were always one of my favorites."

"Everything stood out while I was there for the visit," he added. "The coaches were great to me. They have great players and great alumni. They have great programs in place to help with after football. Their facilities are everything you could ever want. It's a great football program with amazing fans and an amazing stadium."

The commitment to Tennessee from the Fort Scott Community College star is the final step of his process.

"The visits are over with," Johnson pointed out. "I'm done taking official visits. The only visits I will take the rest of the way will be to Tennessee."

So, possibly the #1 DT out of the juco ranks is pumped to get an offer from UT and then proceeds to commit soon after receipt. Backtrack a few years when we were all hoping and praying for a DT or two well down the list to commit because we had none. SMH in a positive way!

Who does the JUCO evaluating for 247? Good lord they have some horrendous rankings. Alexis Johnson an 86 overall? That is beyond laughable. They've obviously not looked at a second of his film.
