Butch started by thanking everyone on the staff for helping them bring "21 new individuals" into the program.

Butch: None of these kids have played a down of college football, so I can't tell you who will play how much and when. Everyone develops differently.

Butch Jones just made four of the Vols' five early enrollees stand up and introduce themselves to the media. Jalen Reeves-Maybin's in class.

Butch Jones: 8 of Vols' 21 signees were committed other places at some point.
Had to overcome long relationships there.

I feel like this is going to be something we see a lot of during his tenure.. He was big on this with his sons introducing himself.. It shows me that this dude really treats his players like his real sons.
also, fyp

Butch Jones: We put as much effort into Vonn Bell as anyone in the class, but I want to talk about our Volunteers, not someone else's kids.

It will eventually pass, just depends on whether Jones is around to see it or not

Butch Jones: Since 1926, no program has won more games than Tennessee. That's a great story. We need to get that out there.
