The Necessity of In-State Recruiting

Well 99bubble answered satisfactorily I think.

Besides the wording of my post kind of shows that I wasn't exactly the best person to answer that question

When you agree with someone by saying, "that does seem to be true most of the time", you are basically allowing that a phenomenon may exist, while at the same time admitting that you yourself don't HAVE any answers to explain it.

So not sure why you expected any elaboration from me...lol.

In other words, you have no defense for such a stupid statement. Tennessee 4 stars are just as good as ga 4 stars. But we now have a head coach who hums sweet home alabama not rocky top.

Plus "in state" does not mean east Tennessee. Too many years has UT IMO let instate kids from the middle and western part of the state dangle or even be ignored so some kid that doesn't pan out in East Tennessee gets a scholly. I'm still raw and ill over Patrick Willis at Bruceton who loved and would have crawled on his belly tp play at UT get the cold shoulder by UT and went on to become an All SEC and All Pro player defensively in the NFL.

We should lock down our own state and raid other states for their best players.

Are you listening to yourself? "Lock down", "raid"...

So far 4 players come to mind that went off and made a big impact on those other schools. I can live with that stat. Let the coaches make the evaluations on players. I think sometimes, and this is not Tennessee only thing, these kids get full of themselves with these star ratings. UT has pulled 4 and 5* players from other states....and they found out, the SEC is different. They come to play us, we come to be us! Go Vols!!!
