I was thinking at first that we got a small time coach from a small time conference but man is Coach Jones lighting it up or what! I haven't felt this excited about our football program in awhile. It's so great to read recruits quotes about being excited about what we've got going,our coaches,and wanting to be a part of it. GBO!!!!!

This guy seems like he could be a bowling-ball type player in the mold of travis henry once he adds a few more pounds. pretty good 1-2 punch with hurd already on board.

Dude reminds me of Maurice Jones-Drew just because of stature alone.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm absolutely JACKED about Paulk's commitment. Other than Hurd, he was the one running back that I really, really wanted in the '14 class, even more than Chubb. Paulk is gonna be a monster; he runs between the tackles exceptionally well and has a good, thick, strong build. He and Hurd are gonna be one hell of a 1-2 punch. Man, this is great!

The giant of UT football is awakening.
UT may have backed into the right coach( 4 championships in 6 yrs) at the right place(history facilities fan base) at the right time(best in state recruits probably in history combined with the legacy players)
With Dooley I really never had a feeling on his initial hire somewhere in year 2 I knew it was the wrong hire and year 3 proved my felling was correct in yr 2.
Jones I sense immediately he as noted above is the right coach at the right place at the right time.

Uh huh! This is getting really good!
Now I would love to have a surprise stud commit on defense. And some linemen.
Funny, I used to feel like that would be hoping for way too much, but the last week has proven that it really is possible for this new staff to haul in some ELITE TALENT!!

Top 10 seems easily attainable. I am already thinking top 5. No, really, I am thinking #1. I know it might not be #1, but I am just enjoying the sense that anything is possible with this staff!

Ironic. Just like yesterday, when at work, I went to eat lunch around 3 and got the text about Hurd, I was heading to have lunch again today around the same time and heard my phone give the text received sound. I said to myself "that's another commitment." Opened it and BOOMed at work. Just a giddy feeling. Paulk may be a perfect compliment to Hurd. Butch is truly developing a championship mindset on the Hill and these guys have sensed it and want to be a part of it. Welcome to Big Orange Nation Mr. Paulk. BCRT! GO VOLS!

Running back Treyvon Paulk of Milton (Ga.) High School announced Friday that he has committed to Tennessee, giving the Vols their fifth commitment in the past week.

ryans who's feeding all these kids orange koolaid?im hoping bell will struggle with buckheads and gets home sick and dont start for 3 years,
take saban he has all those players at some point kids got think the depth they have a better chance of going to a strugglen tenn or olemiss to get to start as a freshman,but they keep committing
but its looking better here ,,,,only if the dam boys would have beat those dam bama punks
we are the better team,but from last night to today i have no idea,even if we make it in the ncaa
tourney ,how far could we make it? its either feast or fanoman.
good night guys im bummed out and turning in for the night.
thanks ryan

A side note, what are the chances that everyone can quit bashing Jay Graham? The guy was here for about a year, and we loved him while we had him, but we appear to be in very capable hands with Robert Gillespie. Let's focus on how good we appear to have it right now, and allow FSU to focus on Graham. There is no use in talking about your ex when the new girlfriend makes everything feel so good.

I couldn't agree more. I don't like that JG left for another program. He obviously thought it was a good career move. He has to do what he thinks is best for his family. And we have the VFL program. That includes JG. I say we move on, and wish JG good luck. We are in good hands. GBO!!!!!

We always recruit heavy out of Milton, so this kid to me, feels like another in-state recruit. But am i the only one who feels like this all is too good to be true? Not to mention him commiting after Hurd says a great deal about where his hearts at.....Kids actually are wanting to play for this program!!!! VFL

Apparently i cant say this enough!!!!.....lol
