Kind of hard to help by getting 3 star recruits while Clemson steals our 4 and 5 star recruits.

I am not a "star guy" by any means, but I certainly would argue you do not want more 3 star players than 4 and 5 star combined, and lose top in state talent.

Yep, that is one main ingredient to a championship team. On the Bright Side, Butch is recruiting well for the MAC.:)

Relax guy, that's not Butch bashing. My comment is a fact. If Butch asks Ross to announce today, in light of the TH events...yeah, that is weak sauce. Never have I ever bashed Butch. Take out your frustration on another poster.

Wether you're right or not, I think you misunderstand the meaning of the word fact.

“Wherever I commit to, I’m going to go down there whenever, before July 31,” said Ross, who’s ranked the nation’s No. 361 overall prospect and No. 37 offensive tackle in the 247Sports Composite for the 2017 class. “I’m going to keep it confidential to me and my family, not tell anyone I’m going, and I’m going to go down there and commit face to face and go from there.”

He said he decided to make the trip to Tennessee again because he “wanted my dad to see it,” and the Vols made a good impression on them.

“I went with my coach the first time, so I wanted my dad to see the place — if I chose Tennessee, where I’d be living and everything,” Ross said. “Facilities are facilities. Everyone has nice facilities. Tennessee’s are awesomely nice — they’re better than everyone’s — so I just wanted to get a good look at everything, take a look around campus. I spent a lot of time with (offensive line) coach (Don) Mahoney. Practically all day, I spent with him. Then, I talked to (head) coach (Butch) Jones quite a bit — went in his office, discussed a little bit with him. I got to see a lot and learn a lot about the program, which I really enjoyed.”

Ross said Mahoney “critiqued my film a little bit” during the visit and gave him “some pointers” on things he still could improve.

“It was a highlight tape, so it was my best plays, and he would still find stuff that I could work on, which was very helpful and I can apply to this year’s play,” Ross said of Mahoney, adding that the Vols view him as “probably an inside guy” on the offensive line, and “possibly a right tackle. I feel like he can develop me as a player. I like the way he coaches. I’ve watched videos of him coaching. He’s an intense guy, and I feel like that’s the best kind of coach for me. And there’s other coaches like that, but that’s what stands out to me and makes me like him.”

Never underestimate Coach Jones and staff, but I know many will. Again I have no doubt we will be a top 10 class come signing day!!!

Hard to get excited by another 3 star player. We need to start reeling in some 4 and 5 star players if this class is going anywhere.

Kids got a nasty streak to his game. OL is one position I think 3* players can be found and developed. Unlike skill positions, OL doesn't always get the pub and* 's it should.

Harder to evaluate to IMO. If a high school kid is anywhere close to SEC caliber on the line he will be destroying high school kids. Then in camps they aren't in pads. 40 time doesn't really matter. So it's harder than skill positions I would think

We aren't recruiting him? You might want to read the above article. He brought his coach the first time and brought his dad the next. You don't bring parents unless you have been offered and offered.
