CJP's staff keeps recruiting info under wraps. VQ and 247 have trouble getting reliable info from TN coaches. There were even rumors last year that TN coaches leaked wrong info to recruiting guys to throw other teams off when the info was reported. VQ and 247 have to depend on people around the recruit and other teams coaches leaking recruit info.
This is how everyone thought Henry T was between Bama and Washington last year. Is was signing day before the other teams realized it was going to be TN. All this time Washington and Bama were negative recruiting each other instead of TN.
We have also seen where other coaches follow CJPs coat tails and offer under the radar recruits after he does. Another reason TN coaches aren't leaking anything to the local or national recruiting guys.
