Explain how keeping Pruitt will help the ‘22 class when he couldn’t even recruit the top players in the state of Tennessee this year? I personally don’t care where we get our players from but this is still embarrassing.

Been saying it over and over Tennessee has changed, get out of East Tennessee and recruit. Everybody in the SEC now know the middle Tennessee are is a hot bed of recruits and Memphis has plenty of athletes.
In Pruitt's defense, he did make Memphis a recruiting priority when he hired David Johnson. Of course, Johnson went to FSU and we have let that area go now (Kiffin will likely cherry pick that region). This staff has never made Middle TN the priority it should be. Butch Jones had a lot of faults but he saw the demographic trends that made Middle TN the hotbed in this state and treated it as such.
I was never very excited about the Pruitt hire but the one thing that made me feel a little better was that he was supposedly this great recruiter. He did pretty well at first but it’s all falling apart now. Overall, he has been a disappointment from a recruiting perspective imo.

Butch recruited better in state than Pruitt
