Wes, this was the first Dooley presser that I watched. That was 180 degrees away from a Fulmer presser. Are they all like that?

Vols might have some more roster changes going forward, but "give me a week or so" to announce it.
interesting quote there...

This was tame. He's usually much livelier.

Not speaking for Wes here, but for me it was vintage Dooley. I try not to miss any of them, because typically he leaves me a bit more confident in the direction of the program under is watch. More often than not, he'll sprinkle in some really good humor as well.

Just listening to him explain his recruiting program and his thought process on these recruits made me feel really good about them and about him as a coach. He didn't just go out and try to find a bunch of highly ranked guys, he had a plan and the staff stayed with that plan. He is a really smart guy and this hire looks more and more like it could be a winner.

Will Maggitt play DE or OLB?

I also really enjoyed hearing about the process they go through evaluating players. I have confidence in CDD.

Dooley only mentioned getting 2 LBs so i'm guessing DE for Maggitt. But you never know with the multiple defensive looks Wilcox uses so he could play both

Wes,
What was the context of this quote? I don't understand what he's saying here...
“Don’t stray away from you believe” as a recruiter. Don’t say, “I shouldn’t have listened to whoever.”
