I thought this staff was supposed to be good at recruiting. If this staff can't secure the few talented players in the state, then rough waters are ahead.
Lol - nothing wrong with the staff. Just a problem with the kids in Tennessee. Some of the kids in West and Middle Tennessee grow up hating Tennessee - why? Who knows.
I see it a lot in Chattanooga as well. There are as many Bama fans there as UT fans... quite a lot of Georgia ones too and Florida.
But when you go into Bama - for whatever reason - they mostly pro-Bama kids.
LB Justin Maclin has named Alabama, USC, Memphis, Vandy, and LSU as his top 5. It should come down to Bama and LSU.
:crazy: If this Dude goes to Memphis God Bless and good luck with that! I love the city of Memphis grew up there,but never wanted to play football for the team! Granted they may have gotten better,but who wants to go to the blue boonet bowl :crazy: The Vols will one day soon have a National ChampionshipHis father played for Memphis, his mother attended Memphis and a current Tigers assistant coach lives in Maclin's neighborhood. "Everybody I'm around went there," Maclin said. "I also like the fact that I'd play right away there. Plus, it would be nice to be close to home."
That another thing I grew up in memphis! I looked forward to the Vols in football season, and the Memphis State Basketball in Basketball season! People in Memphis Love UT Football :rock:I graduated in 97 and UT Football owned the state i don't know what happenedJust probably one of those Tennessee kids that grew up as one of the people who thinks it's cool to hate UT and pull for other out of state teams.
The cool thing for Tennessee high school kids to do is root for whoever is playing against UT. Its really frustrating to walk through tennessee schools the day before Florida or Alabama games and see 10x more Gator or Tide gear than Vol stuff.
