For reference: http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2012/feb/01/john-adams-recruiting-reveals-state-of-ut/
As a Vol fan, I am appalled at the kind of negativity show by John Adams in this piece. Yes, we just had a 5-7 season. Yes, we lost 6 assistant coaches. I think we pulled an AMAZING class given the circumstances. We lost some great recruiters when we most needed them. Yet Dooley and Co. hauled in a damn good class with some potential NFL talent.
That wasn't even the worst part of the article. The portion about Bonner was a really low blow. THESE ARE TEENAGERS. Sure the kid made a big mistake. But high character also means owning up for your mistakes. If Coach Dooley vetted Bonner properly and feels he has fully owned up to his mistake, we should welcome him with open arms to the Big Orange Family.
One day after this kid just made the biggest decision of his life (to be a VFL I might add) and John Adams is skewering him in UT's hometown paper. Just despicable.
I've never really liked John Adams. Maybe it's his writing style or his lack of real journalism (op-eds are easy) but this piece is a pile of garbage. He's just another message board troll that happens to be employed by the KNS.
Thanks for taking my call Vols fans, I'll hang up and listen.
