When you have 4 different coaches in a 5 year span, 3 constitutive losing seasons, beginning the 3rd different defense in 3 years (4-3, 3-4, 4-3) there are going to be a certain amount of de-commitment and changes of minds when you are talking about talented kids making a lifetime commitment to a university. I would love to see a bunch of top rated recruits jump on board but the facts say the smoke has to clear and the dust settle before UT can expect to sway a lot of these kids. There is a lot to be said for stability of a program and in case you haven’t noticed this program has not had that in quite some time.
Give Jones a chance, it will take time. We did not get into this position overnight and we will not get out of it overnight either.

GoVols!!!

Well said. Keep in mind these kids are considering their future. Put yourself in their shoes. I think half of you would do the same. Recruits commit to coaches and the relationships that are established are with people not institutions. This is a life altering decision and he needs to make the best decision for himself. Commitment works both ways.
