You missed the point
You do realize that even the best recruiters don’t get everyone they want. Hell even little Nicky didn’t get that Henry To’oto’o kid.
By the way, where did that kid go again? I forgot.
How much you want to pay? Bc that’s what happened hereAgain, show me how this is an isolated incident of losing an instate priority. Or explain to me how the best recruiters should lose a kid whose brother played for our current AD.
There is a common denominator of the coaches dropping the ball instate in the last class (indecision) and this class (striking out).
I’m pretty happy with how Pruitt is recruiting overall, but missing out on Hardy then blaming the kid and not the coaches seems counterintuitive.
I mean how many instate kids does this staff have to s*** the bed with to stop blaming the kids?
Maybe don’t have Sherrer going heads up for a priority with Garner. Or maybe don’t drop the first two games to Ga St and BYU.
Who are all the instate kids we’ve shat the bed with?
Last count we have 7 instate commits. Still in on Baron, Grimes, Thomas, Henderson, and maybe still Hardy. You wanting all 25 to be from Tennessee?
Personally I don’t care where the recruits come from as long as they want to be here, they are coachable and can play at the SEC level.
As far as who is to blame, I’ve not blamed anyone (coaches or recruit) and most likely won’t simply due to the fact that like 99.9% of people on here I have ZERO inside information as to what actually happened.

According to VQ and 247, it is unlikely we get Grimes and Big O, and Baron looks more unlikely as time passes. Morris, Walker, and Rybka are committed to other SEC schools.
Is this what we think in state recruiting should look like. You are happy with these results?
Of course all 25 shouldn’t come from Tennessee. What a bogus straw man argument.
But how can you say that you didn't miss the point? He said nothing about who's fault it was we didn't land the kid, he questioned if he still wants him after the way JH handled things.I don’t think so. The kid wasn’t committed to Tennessee so what does he owe anyone. I’d take him today if he changes his mind.
The staff lost an instate priority who’s brother played for Fulmer. Should that happen under any circumstance? Why the jump to claim the kid has no integrity? It’s not like this is an isolated instate miss for this coaching staff.
