We’re now five days removed from National Signing Day, but the discussion continues as media try to further analyze the classes and sort out the real winners and losers. In an article published this morning by ESPN, Tennessee’s continued success is one of the top storylines from signing day in the SEC.
Edward Aschoff: Tennessee keep building contender
Vols coach Butch Jones is starting to own national signing day. From the spiffy bow tie to the elite talent he’s gathering in Knoxville, Jones is making Tennessee’s presence known. If you look at the shape this program was in for the last decade, Jones’ recruiting efforts were beyond impressive … again. For the second straight year, Jones reeled in the No. 5 recruiting class in the country and is continuing to build a solid foundation at Tennessee. The Vols signed 13 ESPN 300 members and 18 total four-star prospects. The Vols signed 12 players who ranked within the top 10 at their positions and had one of the biggest steals of the day by flipping four-star offensive tackle Drew Richmond from Ole Miss. Another great class shows how far the program has come under Jones and the potential it has.

Well DUH! I think we are starting to see why CCK was succesful on Central Michigan and Cincinatti………he had the best recuitor in the nation named Butch Jones.
Last I checked, CBJ only worked one year with CCK at Central Michigan and did not work with him at Cincinnati, but was hired after him as head coach.
I think you both mean Brian Kelly… Not Chip Kelly… SMH
Butch’s mind seems to run a thousand miles an hour in building this giant orange juggernaut. It’s going to pick up even more speed with the addition of his old mentor…football junkie OC Mike DeBord. For those of you just catching on; keep an eye on these guys.
CBJ will get it done.
