He’s got documentation!!!Had too look hard for this but I told y’all so.
2014 Tennessee Volunteers Recruiting: Talking With Derek Barnett
Good lord why do I have to explain this to everybody. If Pruitt wins the East and starts competing for a playoff spot then the recruits he offers will get a bump in the star ratings.
The point I am making is stars do not matter. Like how Saban beat #1 Ohio State, Notre Dame, Penn State, Michigan by actually identifing the talent and recruiting them to Michigan State. He was not recruiting based off some stupid star ranking system. His recruits were good enough to also beat Florida in a bowl game. So now everyone he targets gets a higher star ranking. Do you understand?Hard to win the east when you are 10-15 spots behind GA in the recruiting rankings.
Pruitt & Co need to up their game on the recruiting trail.

The top teams teams have 4 and 5 star players because the players rating is based on what schools are recruiting them. If Western Kentucky is on you you’re a 1or 2 star, South Carolina wants you you’re a 2or 3, Alabubba or Clemson is calling you’re a 4 or 5 star. Rivals, etal. Exist to get fans to shell out money on subscriptions. If you think any coach puts any stock in that mess you’re very wrong.Funny how the 4 teams in the playoffs have 4 and 5 star players at almost every position.
Why??? The SEC East isnt loaded with 1st round RB's. UGA is the only East school grabbing those types of backs consistently and the results are NO SEC title. RB's are a dime a dozen. If u can run, u can run. Doesnt matter how many stars are next to your name. If it were any other position i might be with u, but RB has more to do with instincts. Either u got them or u don'tTennessee desperately needs a 4 or 5 star running back, if they are to compete for the SEC east
