I honestly don't see this as accurate at all. AJC guy is just trying to stir up shite. Now if someone said this about Kiffin or Dooley I'd buy it but Jones gives off a vibe that is the polar opposite of those two. Everything we've heard from recruits and their parents has been about how positive the staff is. Even Scott talked about the difference between his in-home with Jones and Spurrier. Spurrier went the 'you don't want to go to UT route' whereas Jones sold the program. My guess is that coaches go negative for the same reason politicians do -- it's a decent last ditch strategy when you're behind in a race but if you're bad at it then it tends to backfire.
That said if by good at negative recruiting the critics mean 'sneaky, crafty, having a plan' or whatever then 'go team!' I don't have a real problem with it. However, saying we're all negative just doesn't jibe with anything about this recruiting cycle and I've spent far too many hours following it closely.

Maybe by negative recruiting he meant reverse psychology. Butch talks about how a kid should not consider UT and the croot is so confused he just has to know what is going on there. Maybe Butch is just a genius.

Carvell will go after anyone that threatens Atlanta metro recruiting. He loves to tweet random shite about Saban and Alabama. That being said, if there's a shred of truth to this, it probably won't be good for UT in the long run.

Makes sense. North GA and Atlanta Metro are home away from home for us in terms of recruiting.

Coming from a team that hasn't been able to "positively recruit" since 1998, this doesn't surprise me.

How so? I don't deny that all schools negative recruit to some degree but I don't see the claim that this staff is the best at negative recruiting or that it is particularly prone to use it as having any evidence to support it. In order to be the best at negative recruiting there should be at least some evidence to support it. So far there's been none.

Alshon Jeffery signed with South Carolina and he's not pumping gas. Also Spurriers not retiring soon as far as we know.

Supravol is as good as the number of posts he has.
