Everyone knows that. However given just how little we've had to get excited about over the last 5 years, don't begrudge the fans for being excited over this recruiting class. What CBJ and his staff has done is pretty remarkable all things considered and there's nothing wrong with enjoying the moment. Gotta win the recruiting battle before you can win championships.

Seems like I see a commit about every day now. It also seems that every time I research the commit I get tickled to death with how good he is.

I've probably been a Vol fan longer than 90% of you simply because of my age....In all of those years of living and dying when we win and when we lose, I've never, ever in my six decades of this been as excited as I am with Butch Jones and where he is headed with this program...We all had better buckle up tightly because we're in for the ride of a lifetime and zeniths that we've never imagined..Mark it down from an old guy who knows a little about that of which he speaks....We're on our way!!!!!!!!

AMEN Brother. I started following the Vols with Johnny Majors in the mid 50's. I too believe that we are going to be very strong at every position, and just reload, instead of rebuilding each year. CBJ could be the BEST all round coach UT has had since the General. Our best football teams may yet be ahead.

We may be living through an ESPN 30 for 30 if this class lives up to the hype.

Understand what you're saying, but.... they're ESPN... and we're Tennessee. IMO, a 30 for 30 ain't happening unless it's negative and has to do with getting our program shut down or something. Maybe CBS will start a 45 for 45 or something.... then we gotta chance.

I must be having a dream. Hope I don't wake up and this just keeps on. If these guys coach nearly as good as they recruit, and I think they do, we will be in the hunt again in 1-2 years. Maybe this OL can do what is expected and roll over people. Then all we really need this year is one DB that can actually chase down a tailback in the open field. A little open field defensive speed and last year would have been really different.

If we can secure the Berry brothers with this class then we will have a very nasty defense very shortly! I am excited for kickoff 2013 but am drooling over kickoff 2014!!!

You are not that old. I listened on the radio to Johnny playing ball for Wyatt. Drive by the stadium to listen to the crowd on game day. I like this new regimen but they have a long way to go to match Fulmer's record, even including his worst 2 years. After DD and that other guy there is no other way but up. Maybe we will improve so much we will get back to firing coaches for not being in the SEC championship game every year.

Johnny Majors Trump sorry.

I got a birthday card from him on my 25th while i was in the military bc my parents ran into him at a bar and my mom mentioned it was birthday the next week. He looked me up and everything. You bet that's framed on the wall!

Cortez McDowell: Tennessee edges Auburn and UGA for No. 1 safety | College Recruiting | www.ajc.com

Last Friday, McDowell made an appearance at UGA’s Dawg Night prospect camp and had a long conversation with Bulldogs coach Mark Richt.

“I had it in the back of my head that Georgia would be a good place, but I didn’t think I would be happy there at the end of the day,” McDowell said. “It’s because of the trouble the players get into, and stuff like that. I didn’t want to take that risk to be around that.”

I have to SMH at this. We'll have a winning season and still may lose 1 or 2 commits...happens every year. No worries from me.

I'm very glad that the Tennessee coaching staff is doing a great job at recruiting. I will save my "Booms" ,however, for after these recruits sign their letters of intent.
