On paper, it seems like a rough blow. Tennessee football secured the commitment of four-star Memphis-area defensive tackle Omari Thomas Monday morning. But then, that afternoon, four-star junior college cornerback Art Green decommitted from the Vols. And the next morning, three-star edge rusher Jimari Butler decommitted.
As a result, UT lost two players after picking up one. But that one pickup was worth losing those other two. The Vols are still in better shape for their 2020 class than they were the night before Thomas committed.
