Recruiting services

[sanddune50]

I know I've had some discussions in the past in reference to recruiting services, but I didn't see a thread on it. I just looked at the 4 main recruiting services and here is where Tennessee is currently ranked by each of them

Rivals - 1
247 - 2
Scout - 1
ESPN - 6

Now my 1st question is obviously going to pertain to the outlier ranking by ESPN. Anyone have a breakdown as to how ESPN has us ranked as far as individual players go? (5 star, 4 star, etc.) I would be curious to see why they have us ranked where they do.

And oh yeah, inb4 "ESPN hates us"

They don't rank JUCO's for one.

ESPN also ranks teams on how much they hate them

That is unreal. Lol I remember in Feb when people were mad and saying Butch can't recruit.

Screw ESPN. We don't live for them or do we?

Correct me if I am wrong, but I am pretty sure that ESPN started ranking JUCO players last year. I don't believe they have released their JUCO rankings for the 2014 class yet. Like everything else in recruiting, they are behind all of the other services.

They do show us with 20 commits. I suppose they haven't ranked the JUCO's as of yet.
