Hart is giving an interview about general business in Knoxville to keep the media hounds off our new football coaching staff. The entire staff is on the recruiting trail these next two weeks, bringing next year's talent to UT. Not an easy task, considering the circumstances. I think Hart knew what he was doing when he hired Jones, and he knows what he's doing now.

My left-handed comment: We will not lure 5-star players away from the state of Florida with a losing record. I doubt we sign even one 5-star player this year, although our guys are good recruiters. Regardless, Jones proved he knows how to win with 3 and 4-star talent, which is what he did at Cincy, putting several of these 3-star players in the NFL. There are no better recruiters out there than Graham and Thigpin--period--and when we have a couple of winning seasons under our belt, watch these two bring the top recruits to Tennessee. Go Vols!
