okay you guys made it sound worse than it is. that's on jones.

last year we started a freaking walk on at middle linebacker and a guy who had never sniffed the field was our Sam linebacker. Our LB core was horrible last year, this year we have 3 new starters and they are legit. we dont' have depth yet but our starters are legit

Last year we were starting walkons all over the field. Our Starting LT this year was a walkon - he got injured in the first game and is now playing on one leg.

I wouldn't say he was completely wrong. Butch Jones has had two recruiting classes to do something about it. It's a tough task, not an impossible one. And I'm going out on a blind limb, but I'd say most new hires have significant holes.

That's not really true. He basically held Dooley's class together and added Dobbs plus made sure we got North but that wasn't his class - he had no time to recruit and his job was to hang onto them more than anything else. Last year was his first real class.
