The title of this thread is very misleading. The entire state is LOADED with talent on a yearly basis. There is no way in he!! that we are going to sign them all. I don't understand what's so hard to understand about that.
Let me give you guys an example. There's a high school here in metro Atlanta that probably has better recruits than the entire state of TN. That's it, one high school. 3 of those kids had offers from us but decided to go out of state, there's nothing wrong with that.
Sure there's alot of prospects that we've offered but there has also been plenty of other guys we never offered, some of which ended committing to UT (you can add one more to that list in a couple of hours). His name is Cromm, shhhhhh.
I trust the job our staff does with recruiting. We have the #1 player in FL, we're still in it for the #1 player in GA, we're in VERY good shape with the #1 player in NC and also rated as the #1 back in the country. I will not even get into the class we had last year. Its about quality boys, not just quantity.
We're doing just fine. Now if you want to talk about a team dismantling a rival with recruiting, look no further than Vandy. They are racking up the instate boys.
