I think we'll do just fine in recruiting. It would be unusual for UT not to do well in that area. As far as in-state talent goes, We have McClendon who is probably a Top 50 player. We have Dustin Lindsey.(grade concerns) According to very good sources we are in good shape with Lindsey's teammate, Brandon Warren, who is a national recruit. Warren is said to want to go though the recruiting process but it would come as a surprise for us not to land him. We have Lee Smith who some recruiting gurus are extremely high on. I saw one that had him as the #2 DE in the country. Another said he was a "special" talent and compared him to TE Alge Crumpler of the Falcons. SO we seem to be off to a good start with the in-state guys and I'm sure we will attract top talent from all over the country like we do every year. Oh yeah, we also have Walter Fisher Jr that had to spend a couple years at JUCO. He redshirted his first year in JC so he will have 3 years to play 3 at Tennessee. He is a DE.
