Great article! looks like there is a really strong interest here. I like Jones as a recruiter, seems to have a genuine but very aggressive recruiting strategy. Thanks!

I'm glad we are making him a top priority. Sounds like his dad is taking a good approach in the recruiting process. So many guys go to a school and end up hating it after a year or so. You got to do some research and pick the best fit.

Nice job Ryan! Looks like CBJ made an impression on Mr. North, hope Marquez "clicked" with CBJ too.

Great write up Ryan! Thanks! Sounds like CBJ made a huge first impression and I really think we have a great shot at North! Ryan, any idea on any new big targets jones is going after that may have not been on Tennessee's board before? I know Hart has already committed to the recruits already committed to UT, but curious to see what direction Jones is wanting go in to recruit players for his system. Thanks again! VFL!

I suggest sending UT College of Law Dean Blaze, the guy is awesome. I loved my experience there because of him. Dean Blaze will get North on Rocky Top!

It appears that CBJ is already outworking Dooley. I am hearing horror stories about how inept Dooley was to Tennessee HS players and their coaches.
I'm hoping CBJ has lots of success on the trail. If not it won't be because of a lack of work on his part.

This kid looks like he could uphold the WRU tradition. CBJ is a go-getter.

That would be an out of the box approach! Maybe a way for the academic side to earn that money the athletic dept. sends them every year.
