34. Marquez North, WR, Tennessee Volunteers
When I visited Butch Jones and his staff on signing day, he was beaming about North, his first big get. He thought at the time that North choosing the in-transition Volunteers over some of his other brand-name offers, Florida, Clemson, Georgia, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Oregon among them, could supply some momentum for UT with the 2014 class.
Boy, was he right. As of Sunday evening, Tennessee was second in our current class rankings. Jones has not coached a game in Knoxville, but he is 1-0 when it comes to offseasons.
Jones talked up Norths summer when I recently visited with him. The kids have really spoken out about Marquez and the type of guy and player that he is, Jones said.
With Justin Hunter and Cordarrelle Patterson now in NFL training camps, North sounds like someone ready to immediately help.
Shoddy analysis IMO.
