Is that any different than y'all taking a commit on 6/17 who was offered by Tenn. St., Samford, Mercer, Austin Peay, Charleston Southern, Chattanooga & Memphis??...

I'm assuming you're talking about Joquez Bruce. He's one of those local guys that we have to bring in one or two of every year to keep the hometown guys happy. Apparently he went to a camp and was one of those guys who tried really hard but just wasn't up to Par with the rest of them. Butch told him to come back to another camp and show improvement and maybe we'll talk. The kid came back to the next camp and had shaved a lot of time of his forty (he ran three straight 4.5 ) and improved his other measurable And Butch offered him on the spot. He has a great attitude, and has wanted to be a vol his whole life. Butch loves these kinds of pLayers and you will see two or three of them every year. They're our hopeful "diamonds in the rough, and they bring a great attitude to the team and work their butts off. Still though I agree his offer list is meh, but who knows how he'll turn out.
