Three things about Tennessee’s class

by JC Shurburtt

Here are three things about the 2010 Tennessee recruiting class …

A national class: There is no question that the Vols must not only sign their share regionally, but recruit nationally to get enough talent to compete for championships.

South Florida strength: When Kiffin hired Eddie Gran to coach running backs and special teams and recruit talent-rich South Florida, it was obvious that the Vols would have a presence there and it shows when you look at this class. There are seven players that hail from the Sunshine State committed and six of those are from South Florida.
