Birth of a DYNASTY.....The Official 2015 Tennessee Volunteers Football Thread

Georgia & Five Others on the Brink of National Title Contention

Tennessee

This isn't an against the grain prediction. Everyone sees what Butch Jones is doing on the recruiting trail and the Volunteer roster is starting to look like Alabama and Florida State walking off the bus. The main reason that Tennessee could have realistic national title aspirations in the long term is what they've done at the quarterback position. After Josh Dobbs, Quinten Dormady looks like the real deal, four-star Sheriron Jones is behind him but even more talent is in the cooker. Tennessee could potentially land the top quarterback in the country for both 2017 (Hunter Johnson) and 2018 (Trevor Lawrence). That's how you build dynasties.

its crazy how good Butch has recruited without on-field results yet. Expect to hear news of 2017 #1 QB Hunter Johnson committing to Tennessee any day now.

We might not win it all this year. But we are laying the foundation for a dominant run in the next few years.

Trevor Lawrence is the real prize the next year

Trevor Lawrence is the real prize the next year

And we are favorites to land him as well. His family is from Tennessee and he's a huge Vols/Peyton Manning fan. Some of the vols recruiting insiders expect him to commit in the next couple of months.

Recruiting is the life blood of a college football program. When you recruit at an elite top 5 level year in year out, the on-field results will come. Right now Butch Jones is killing it on the recruiting trail without any on-field results yet. Imagine if he wins 9-10 games this year, I can't contemplate what he'll do in recruiting then.
