Some quotes from Scout.com:
West fell hard, citing the Vols initial scholarship offer as the time he felt like he was at home. “They play my style,” West said. “They go up and down. They’ve got a nice energetic coach and they got a good team. They go fast and play hard-nosed defense.”
TennesseeÂ’s win over Memphis, its ascension to No. 1 in the polls for a week and its animated coach have the attention of recruits. Basketball, not football, is front and center in Knoxville this month.
“It was real big. That was the center of Tennessee. With them being No. 1 that made it big. They showed me love and everyone around there was showing them love.”
