Yes, this is a huge commitment.....getting him to commit early and having him help recruit some of the the other top players in the state should be huge.

Ok now I'm really beginning to believe in this staff. Although we should actually wait til we get these guys signed, on campus, and in class, this, imo, was unexpected. I said he was not sold on being a vol in the past. I was wrong. To get him to commit is a big get for the Volnation.

You know if you really think about it? IMO this was a very smart decision on TKjr's part. He can now focus totally on his academics and his senior season without any distractions from MOBS of recruiters. From what i gather WEBB has a pretty Beast schedule this coming up year? What do you All think?

Great write-up Ryan. Words can't describe the momentum this gives CBJ and the BCRT going forward. The kid said he went to Church, prayed about it, took a nap and woke up a Vol. He's on a mission from God to revive the Orange! Others shall soon follow! GO VOLS!
BUTCH IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. GO VOLS!

Ryan - I'm curious if you have a read on whether this would have happened under the previous staff. Was this fairly inevitable? How big of a role did the new staff play in this?
