Butch Jones makes state a priority

SIAP - I've been on the board only sparsely lately and did not see this anywhere, it's alot of what we already know but still a good, concise read.

Tennessee Vols' Butch Jones makes state a priority - ESPN

ESPN's Chris Low -
The last of the faxes had long since arrived last Wednesday on national signing day when Tennessee coach Butch Jones took a moment to soak it all in while lounging in his office.

Jones never really lounges, per se. He was still fielding phone calls from some of the Vols' 2014 signees, not to mention some of their top prospects for the 2015 class, and recruiting as fervently as ever. But in between his cell phone blowing up with calls, he peered across his desk and stated what was front and center in a class ranked No. 5 nationally this year.

"We've got to own this state," Jones said. "I know a lot of coaches say that, but it's something we take very seriously. For us to get back to where we want to be, the Vonn Bells and Jalen Ramseys can't leave the state."

Mods thanks for editing, my apologies :hi:

Nice article. I wish our basketball team could own the state as well. CBJ delivered.

No worries man. That's a solid article from Low and I agree 100% with the premise.

To me, there's nothing better than winning with home grown players. Butch has put a wall around the state in a way like Fulmer never could.

Man it's nice to see Butch and his staff fixing broken bridges that Dooley and his staff screwed up.

Vonn Bell played in Georgia.

Vonn Bell played in Georgia.

Most considered him a Tennessee guy though because he played his first two years in Chattanooga and grew up there. The whole family was full of Big Orange fans.

Interesting that he called those guys out by name. I know the Von Bell one stung.
