With the obvious caveat that we don't know what a new staff will be looking for, I'm very interested to see if some of Butch's top targets are willing to give a new staff a chance. Even if you haven't talked to them, would love your opinion.
Thanks @Brent_Hubbs @Rob Lewis @Austin_Price @Jesse_Simonton
OL
Jerome Carvin (EE) - I assume it depends on Wells, and that if Mullen gets the job he's a lock
Jalen Goss
Jahmir Johnson (JUCO) - with the need for immediate help I would think any new staff would take a long look here
RB
Michael Barrett
BJ Emmons - is he going to get out for 2018?
WR
Jeshaun Jones (EE)
Jaron Woodyard (JUCO - same as Johnson)
Dashon Bussell - I assume a new staff can get him if we want/need him. IYO is he an SEC player?
DL
Caleb Johnson - already took an OV (terrible strategy by Butch regardless of his job status)
Kayode Oladele (EE)
Richard Jibunor - not pulling the trigger for AU tells me he's not sure
Azur Kamara (JUCO EE - again, same as Johnson and Woodyard)
Javonte Jean-Baptiste
Malik Langham - really likes UT, but I don't know if it's the staff or the school
Caleb Kelly - intriguing prospect (Stanford offer) who liked the Vols back in the summer
Bonus:
Three guys from Memphis that I think a new staff (especially Mullen or Norvell) could/should take a long look at - your thoughts on them and if you think they'd give the Vols a shot
LB Cam Jones - we know all about him. I wonder if he'd give us another look with a new staff
RB Jeremy Banks - we need another RB in this class and dude has absolutely blown up and has a great offer list. Good buddies with Carvin from Cordova
DB Jaylin Williams - like Jones an IU commitment (was an OM commit), he's had a great season (6A Mr Football finalist) and was at MSU this past weekend
