David, my buddy makes an interesting point about Butch Jones.

Butch is given credit as putting Tennessee back on the map with several strong recruiting classes in a row.

But if you actually look at this classes and get rid of Tennessee legacies and in-state guys, who has he actually recruited that wasn't already one foot in the door in knoxville?

Hurd, Malone, Barnett, Warrior, McKenzie, Bates are all off the list.

So is it possible that he just happened to arrive at the right time? That anyone decent with a pulse (better than Dooley) would've been able to do the same?
