Vol football coaching/recruiting strategies.

Everyone knows the reason Chris Leak didn't come to play at UT was becasue he felt his brother wasn't treated fair as a player at UT, not given a real chance to showcase his ability.I'm in no way agreeing with this.My question is in Tennessee's all out (failed) pursuit of recruiting Jimmy Clausen, is this the reason Rick played so much his senior year?Thoughts?

While I think Leak's decision not to go to Tennessee was PARTIALLY because of the way CJ was treated, I think another (IMO, bigger) factor was that it was known he would be able to start at QB for UF immediately.

USC was recruiting him just as hard as UT and UF, and he turned them down as well because... no immediate playing time.
