Just one silly arrest can save someone’s day, apparently.
As usual, Vol Twitter killed it on National Signing Day. There were plenty of great tweets from fans, readers, and Vol loyalists yesterday. They were roundly negative, because this class is the lowest-ranked one for Tennessee since 2013. Then, out of nowhere, Jauan Jennings got cited for drug possession. In a roundabout way, he saved what had been a dull, lifeless day for Tennessee fans. Read the best of Vol Twitter below.

Me: what about the historic correlation of recruiting rankings & on-field success in CFB?

It may not be popular, but I want my Tennessee Volunteers to be elite year in and year out. I just don't accept average.

If Jauan Jennings is any indication of how a joint makes you play… Then give the entire team a blunt before kickoff. Give Butch five.

Jauan Jennings could smoke a joint in the huddle for all I care.

If Butch kicks Jauan off the team I'm jumping off the Henley bridge
