I think the key is if he’s starting or not. That has everything to do with him, and winning it out right."

"Ultimately, Butch Jones will have to get it done on the field as coach at Tennessee, but it’s hard to knock anything he’s done off it to this point leading up to his first season in Knoxville.In particular, Jones and his staff are making things happen on the recruiting trail and landed a commitment from ESPN 150 linebacker Dillon Bates on Wednesday night. Bates, who’s from Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., is the son of former Dallas Cowboys player Bill Bates, who’s from Knoxville and played his college football at Tennessee. The younger Bates is ranked by ESPN as the No. 3 outside linebacker in the country and had narrowed his choices to Alabama, Florida and Tennessee."
