13. Tennessee Volunteers
2012 grade: B- (8th)
2016 grade: F
Top signees: S LaDarrell McNeil, WR Cordarrelle Patterson, DT Daniel McCullers.
Only five players from the class signed by then-coach Derek Dooley started double-digit games in their Tennessee careers. Two were short-stay junior college products (Patterson and McCullers) and another (Pig Howard) was dismissed from the team before his career ended. McNeil emerged as a four-year starter at safety. Attrition was the theme: 13 of the 23 signees either transferred, were dismissed or left the team, including all three ESPN 150 recruits (Howard, Drae Bowles and Dante Phillips).
