so much for ESPN's narrative that we ruined our class and it would take us years to come back

ESPN's Campus Conversation 12/21/2017 - Wrapping up the Early Signing Period.

Ivan: "...the lowest ranked teams in the SEC were Tennessee and Arkansas. Tennessee was 44th, which is, you know, the middle of the pack probably tending toward the bottom of the pack in the Power-5. Arkansas was lower. [ESPN] only ranked -- all I saw of what we did was the top 50. But, uh, that to me was surprising, especially given that teams like Kentucky and Vanderbilt were in the mid-30's, which I think is pretty good for them."

Brad: "Yeah, and Tennessee back in October, before it became obvious that Butch Jones was gone -- their class was ranked number five."

Ivan: "Oh, yeah I remember that, wow."

Brad: "and I realize this wasn't a typical coaching transition, this was a complete dumpster fire. But to lose almost everybody. That's hard to do, but I think, you know, if there'd been a little more time for Jeremy Pruitt to just kind of get his ducks in a row, and no one could sign until the first week of February, then I think Tennessee would have been able to salvage something."

Ivan: "That's a good point."

Brad: "As it's most likely gonna turn out, they're not gonna get much out of this signing class at all."

Heather: "I mean, where else did we write more about who didn't get hired than who did get hired this year? Tennessee! Right!"

<group laughter>

Heather: "Tennessee - it's funny you mention that one, because that was the one that I looked up first, Ivan, out of pure curiosity to see where they landed. Because you look at it, and you think -- my first thought when I saw that Tennessee was so low was 'It's gonna take him a loooooong time to get this thing back.'"

Ivan: "Well, and and, yeah. And another year longer just in terms of just this recruiting class, that's a good point."

And the great thing is Pruitt is doing it with HIS recruits, not just getting back the ones we had. These are not just stars but guys he feels are going to fit his new system. Amazing to do that while coaching the NC game.

Very nice.
This is what I like to see and what it will take to be competitive with the elite programs in the long run.
We need to beat out teams like bama and Georgia for these players.
I am very impressed with Pruitt’s recruiting ability so far.
Now, coach them up.

According to ESPN and the national media,the coaching search fiasco would kill our recruiting for the foreseeable future...
