I'm not going to put down somethings that was said but here's some things I will say:

1) It's amazing the maturity he has become as a man, and just love seeing the next step in a "TRUE VFL". Very, very impressed with him. He's become quiet the entrepreneur in Columbus, Ga. with his own office 5 blocks from Broadway.

2) It was also apparent how he LOVES the VOLS! While listening to stories while on the Hill he said he's been asked many times does he regret coming to Tennessee... He smiled and said "No, it was the greatest experience of his life". He said when he ran out of the T for the first time he actually cried and just couldn't believe the FANS... As he ran through the T the only thing you can see is ORANGE and there's nothing like it!

3) He said HE LOVES Coach Butch Jones! He did say there was a couple of times they didn't get along but he's a TRUE coach who loves his players... Since he's been gone Coach has called him and he has called Coach Jones just checking in...

4) He said the best thing to happen to Tennessee is "Coach Rock". I'll stop there...

5) He said that he talks with CP, Neal, JRM, and many other players constantly....and that JRM is READY to go...

6) He said he's thankful for being given a chance to live out a dream and playing in the SEC and that dream came true when he ran out of the T... He says, "there's NOTHING like it, nothing"!

7) He did say what he thinks that will help Coach Jones is he was able to get some new coaches in and just change it up. He loves what is happening in Knoxville, and no matter what rumors are there's MORE that love Coach Jones then that doesn't!

8) He spoke VERY highly of @P_Fortenberry and just glowed when talking about the write up piece that he didn't for Volquest... He said @Brent_Hubbs was the best in the business and loved working with Volquest and actually gave him his first interview when coming to Knoxville! I thought this was a huge statement for the good guys who own/run this site!

9) Finally, he did say that when he was being recruited by Tennessee and Martinez offered him/Tennessee he was on Volquest NON-Stop reading what every body was saying about Tennessee and Him... So, I believe we need to say kids are most definitely watching and reading these boards...

Also no time to proof read got to get into church...


Later,



Go Vols!
