It's not as though our coaches don't possess years of experience in recruiting players at a very high level. They all do. No doubt they have established metrics they are looking for and are making every effort to land the best players they can. It doesn't matter what I believe they are doing, or how well they are doing it. The recruits themselves can offer the best insight into that.
Branson Robinson, the nation's No. 4 rated running back is being recruited by all the major schools, and here's what he had to say yesterday. “It’s a pretty close race between Georgia and Tennessee. Both are doing a good job staying on top of me and recruiting me but of all the schools I’d say them two stick out the most.”
And he added, “Tennessee’s future is so bright now and in my opinion, in a few years they will be playing for (a spot in the) College Football Playoff.”

Maybe we'll land the guy, maybe not, but it's pretty obvious to me our coaches have a clear vision of the kind of talent they want, and they know how to go after it.
