Here is the link to a rare positive article by David Climer, one pertaining to Butch's immediate impact on recruiting the midstate area: Vols' Midstate 8 show Nashville area's strength. For recruitniks in this forum, its content will provide little, if any, new information. However, the following observations illustrate just how clearly the 2014 class represents a changing of the guard in overall recruiting strategy: "The Vols' freshman class includes eight players from the Midstate, and a number of them are in position to make a significant impact right away. . . . UT has recruited the Midstate area steadily through the years but seldom with this much emphasis or impact. And there's more where this class came from. With the population boom and with new high schools sprouting up annually, the Midstate is producing more football prospects than ever before.

. . . . Jones' emphasis on in-state players in general and Nashville-area talent in particular is a major strategic shift from his predecessor. In 2012, his last recruiting class, then-Vols coach Derek Dooley signed only three in-state players — none of them from the Midstate. In Dooley's three recruiting classes, he signed only two Nashville players — offensive linemen James Stone and Antonio "Tiny" Richardson."

So, I'm sitting in a meeting, acting like I'm checking messages on my phone. Reading this made me ill. I threw up in my mouth and had to excuse myself for a minute. Thanks Dooley. Even now you are causing me pain.

Families moved here from N.O. due to Katrina and also many, many families from the north, such as Ohio, Michigan, N.Y. and Illinois are moving here because their liberal democrat politicians have taxed them to death and they also made the climate to where companies are leaving those area's and moving south.
Gotta go where the jobs are, where the taxes are lower, where the crime is lower, where the weather is better and where you have more freedom (gun rights)....
You will see a continuous growth in this are for quite a few more years.
Sorta like people migrated to Atlanta or anyplace in Florida for years. Now the trend is to move to middle Tennessee.
Highschool football will only get better for this area. Thank you liberal democrat mayors & governors...........

And you can be sure that Butch will make it a point of emphasis to regularly beat the unholy snot out of Vanderbilt so as to leave no doubt whatsoever in the minds of elite midstate recruits where they need to go to college.

Agree. I hope that if we score with 2 seconds left in the game to go up 84-0 this year at Vandy that Butch goes for 2.

People have moved here by the 1000's for reasons he mentioned, among others such as the school system, music business, hospital business, entrepreneurs, etc. If you don't like it, get over it.

If you don't like the truth as to one of the reasons why the area has grown athletically, don't click on the damn thread.

I suppose you skipped the part where I said families move for a multitude of reasons. Keep telling yourself some don't move due to taxes or laws. I have 3 kids at 3 different schools, playing on various sports teams and in other groups such as Young Life and FCA along with classes of 25 kids in self defense where more than half are not from here. My wife is a teacher and I am a business owner in the medical profession, dealing with Vandy and HCA for the past 15 years.
My opinion is informed after discussions with people over the last 15 years. Not sure how yours was formed. As a transplant here who moved here to get away from the bs politics and racism in Memphis, I suppose you will tell me the reasons I moved were different?

People move here for gun rights lol. It shames me to know that there are so many sissys that have to carry a gun to be safe. You bunch of silly conservative bible thumpers need to stop watching Fox news and grow a pair. There is some truth for you.
