We will update this thread throughout the day with quotes/social media posts from recruits.
Adrian Martinez: "At this time I am still committed to Tennessee. We will see how things develop. I’m just going to take some time and see how things develop. The new coach is a big part of that."
Greg Emerson: "I am 150% committed."
Ollie Lane: "It's very disappointing. I really looked forward to being coached by Butch Jones. But no matter what i am all vol. I want to be a centerpiece for this program. I can't wait to be a part of it."
Jacob Warren: "I'm 100 percent UT. I love Coach Jones and appreciate everything he’s done for me, I wish it didn’t have to come to this but it happens so ..."
Alontae Taylor: "I wish nothing but the best for him and his family. I have been talking to Wake Forest, Georgia, Georgia Tech and Louisville. I will now look more into those four programs and look to have a decision by Dec. 22."
UPDATE: Taylor has de-committed: "I'm no Longer Committed to TN here are my final Top 5. Louisville, Georgia, Alabama, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech"
D'Andre Litaker: "It’s a tough situation, Coach Jones was a great dude, but I’m looking forward to the next coach who ever it may be. I’m focused on my rehab and doing what I got to do so when I get up there Ill be ready to go and show them UT fans what I’m really made of and also the new head coach."
Trey Dean: "I was very surprised about the news. I probably will de-commit from Tennessee."
Michael Penix: "I don’t want to talk about the recruitment. I’m still committed to UT right now.I’m just trying to focus on finishing my season."
Jaycee Horn: "No comment."
Anthony Grant: “It’s crazy. I felt like he was a great coach and he was building something there. I’m staying committed and just see what happens.”
Jamarcus Chatman: "I don’t even know what to say honestly but, I’m staying committed.”
Shocky Jacques-Louis: "Tennessee is a great school and I love it there but Coach Jones was the pushing edge to keep me there at Tennessee the only thing that was keeping me there was the faith in the coaching staff but I guess the people in charge didn’t have as much faith as I did."
