Let’s face it, Butch Jones has proven to be a master of public relations. And he did it again.
The Tennessee coach said he’s looking for prospects with “five-star hearts” after he barely inked a top-20 class, which is somewhere in the middle of the SEC. No word if EKG’s were administered to any Volunteers signees.
Yet, what everyone was talking about the day after Jones completed his lackluster signing class wasn’t about the actual class, it was about his “five-star heart” comment. The conversation was about another Jones’ cliché, not the failure to capitalize on one of the best in-state classes in recent memory – or perhaps ever.
