“You gotta win your fair share of those battles, and we're getting the right kids on campus. As we go through the rest of this recruiting cycle, we're going to have to close and win some of those battles too. But there's a lot of positivity and a lot of momentum in what we're doing, the experiences that our guys are having and our recruits are having when they're on campus. This university, this city, the passion of our fan base ... is second to none. We're fighting the good fights, man. We've got to win some of these here down the stretch, but I think we're in a good position.
I think this is a great, great collegiate city, one of the greatest college towns and college cities, and that's how I describe it. Everything bleeds orange and white, and there are so many opportunities, a great place, great businesses with worldwide national headquarters being located here. Our fan base is as rabid as any, top five on any social media platform that you look at. You put all those factors together, our stadium seating over 100,000, and there are a lot of unique opportunities here. This is a great time to be at Tennessee, the leadership that we have on campus and the way people have rallied around what we're all doing here. Man, I can't wait, and we can't be more excited about the fall.”
