It seems like we've heard a lot of this "they hate Tennessee" from talented recruits in and around Tennessee in recent years. I wish someone could explain it to me. I don't know if it's residual hatred of success, disinterest in established programs, or Tennessee didn't give them the attention they wanted - or maybe it's parents or advisors steering them, or something else. Whatever it is, it's strange that we keep hearing these stories of talented players within a car drive of Knoxville who actively dislike Tennessee.
