You guys done wore out the 'boom' thing so.....FAR OUT!!!
(oops, giving away my age again)
I understood all the doubt and uncertainty when Butch and Co. came to town, it's just really great to see everybody pumped and excited in Tennessee right now.
I am really happy for us all!!

I love how these players from Tennessee are showing pride in their home state with the comments from Jalen Hurd, Todd Kelly and Robert Hubbs. I wasn't fortunate enough to attend UT (college in Alabama), but I am very proud to be a Tennessean and that's why I've been a Vol fan for 50 years. I think the dark cloud over our program is beginning to lift. 'Bout dang time!!!

Hurd definitely had that. It shines through everytime you talk with him in person

Great googly moogly! What a great catch. A top athlete who fills our biggest need, comes from Tennessee, will help recruiting momentum, and probably help other kids decide to come to UT. I guess CBJ knew what he was talking about when he said UT was hot these days. GBO!

Just wanted to say congrats to you guys!
Although I'm a Michigan fan my favorite SEC team has always been Tennessee. I became a fan when i went to the Rocky's in 4th grade and got a Rocky Top University of Tenn t-shirt!
Also helps my Michigan team.
Keep up the good work fellas

I literally just threw my hands up into the air and screamed. In the middle of a lecture.
Worth it.
Holy good God almighty. Can't even emphasize how HUGE this is! I said it's great, to be, a Tennessee Vol!

I woke up about half an hour ago (It's only 8:44am here right now) and thought I was still dreaming when I saw the text message. Mark today down, because today is the day the rest of the SEC realizes Tennessee has woken up!!

UNBELIEVABLE! This is amazing news! The stars are aligning. Got the right coach at the right time with some of the strongest home state recruits in decades. Getting these guys early is just going to make it that much more likely that we land other top targets. GBO
