With the amount of guys leaving or showing displeasure at UT makes you wonder just how much Butch Jones pumped them full of promises he couldn't keep.

I don't really trust that guy, think he's a me first, them second type of person.

In Pinkel I see someone more honest, which I think costs him recruiting battles.

I woldn't trust him either. No way he can take classes of 30+ every year without processing a huge percentage.

I think his approach is bring 30 in, give Jones a year to figure out which are the best of the group, then get rid of the ones that aren't as good and make room for another class of 30.

I've never seen one quote from a recruit or player saying that Butch ever promised them a starting job or tons of PT. The typical thing we always hear is that he says PT is available if you work on it because CBJ isn't afraid to play young players if they're better than an upperclassman.

Hendrix's problem is that he's behind a fellow freshman DE that just had an All-SEC type of season.

The rumor is that Hendrix is upset at lack of PT and wants to go. Butch wants him to stick around until spring and see how he feels then. It also would help Hendrix if he finished two semesters before trying to transfer elsewhere.

Btw, Hendrix did not redshirt this year so, if he did transfer, he would have to go to one year of JUCO and then arrive at his next school as a Junior with 3 years to play 2. Hope that helps
