Problem with Butch was more player development than actual recruiting. Unfortunately everyone brought in here during his tenure was done a disservice. I think part of that has to do with the S&C program here (which should be fixed in short order), but also a coach and likely staff in over their heads in the SEC.

Nevertheless, it's a new era. While I would love to see a class this year ranked higher than some of Butch's best, I know in my heart no matter where this class ends up rankings wise, the players brought in during this year will have just as much if not more impact than any class brought in under Butch. I'd expect more kids drafted from the 2018 recruiting cycle than under any of Butchs respective classes.

There were a LOT of problems with Butch.

Jones may have been able to sign highly ranked classes, but look at the attrition rate. I will always say the down fall of Butch Jones at Tennessee had everything to do with the firing of Lawson. The weight room went to crap, and the injuries piled up. The losses soon followed. And that with poor development and you get what we had here last week. Failure to Communicate.

Yea he's out Davie way. N. PLantation. THat's 595 to the Turnpike then south. He bypass an OV, cause he's seen everything he could possibly see at UM. Probably an agreement that the staff has asked for with him visiting other schools. To give them the last visit to counter anything that might arise.

He doesn't win every battle, but those he doesn't win is not for lack of effort.

Mean and competitive, he looks to be the kind of kid with no quit in him:

When it comes to facilities, fan support, sold out games, etc.. it's not even close. Miami fans only comes if the Canes are winning and they play in the Dolphins Hard Rock stadium with only 65,326 capacity and they never sell out unless maybe ND or FSU in town. Canes facilities are small college level and their facilities are a joke and not even close to SEC universities. Now, if it comes down to hotter chicks than Miami wins!

We went from a team that competed for 4 quarters to falling apart in the 2nd half.

Yep. A lot of people in here have got it figured out. I think Jones was a very good recruiter. S & C was his primary undoing. Players not being in shape the way they needed to, caused the excessive injuries. Having hard practices the day before games also caused late collapses. The only thing he really got right was the recruiting.

I will say this, up to this point, Pruitt's recruiting does appear to be more focused on needs, and does appear to be focused on players that all the (other) big boys want. It is one thing to get a 4 star. It is altogether another to get a 4 star that Bama and UGA and Ohio State and Florida and Florida State want, and are fighting for.
