We are all elated to be back in the realm of top ten recruiting classes. I know I am. We look at who we are getting and likely to get and we think, "It's Great To Be A Tennessee Vol!" And it is.
But I think we are prone to use our recent past as a measuring stick to see how well we are recruiting. Since we are doing better than we were, we feel good. We've moving from a 4-cylinder to an 8-cylinder stable of players, so what's not to like?
But then we look in Nick Saban's stable and see that he has a Bugatti Veyron.
According to 247 sports, Alabama has 11 top 100 commitments, and we have one. I know we will get more, but...I think you see my point.
Alabama is the measuring stick for us, not our recent past.
