This is one place where Butch needs to improve. He talks a lot about locking down the state. This 2016 class is very much lacking in state of TN commitments. Lots of other SEC and power 5 programs have cashed in this year on TN talent.
There's not that much talent instate this year. We aren't missing much.
Nothing like the last two years or next year. If it happens again in 2017 class I'll worry.
Although 2014 was more top heavy, there are actually more 4 stars this year and the top 20 is pretty comparable with 19 P5 commitments.
I'm not saying there is anything to worry about, but this year's instate class isn't near as weak as people are making it out to be.
I'm wondering if whatever is going on with Thig in the mid-state area has something to do with our poor instate recruiting this cycle.
