Great job shamar..after the way Tennessee new staff is treating the tenn 2019 recruits. They will be lucky to sign any of them. If the fans only new the truth
Number 1 these Tennessee 2019 recruits have done a great job In competition all around the country. To make tenn the 5th best state in the country only behind FL,Ga,Tx,Ca,...then all your hear is fans complaint about these cats.. they are out there grinding every week no time off.these are things fans don't know.then they go and whip or knock heads with recruits that Pruitt staff choose over tenn kids..many of the 2019 tenn kids have not been reoffered.. so who can blame them for moving on to schools that value them..it's not their fault that Pruitt not recruiting them..hello I would move on to..a lot of these kids could have recruited well for Tennessee

Honestly, and I dont want to ruffle feathers, but I think our staff has been playing against and at times with TN kids (at bama, UGA, etc.) and I dont think they are convinced the rankings match the level of play and talent of these kids yet. Im not speaking about Nash specifically, more a general statement.
weve had some highly ranked players come out of this state these past few years and a surprising amount of them havent done much collegiately. Is that an indictment of the real talent level of the state or the recruiting services/coaching evals/development? I dunno. But what it does look like, from my perspective, is that this staff wants the best players, period. And they dont care where they have to go to get them. I really love getting the in state kids every year but what point is putting a wall around the state if the kids cant produce at a high level?
I think we target many kids out of the Carolinas, Va, Georgia, Florida, LA, Cali, Texas, and the top few guys in state each year. Well also try and get a few out of Ohio, Kentucky and the Virginias with a smattering of highly talented kids in other random states.
Dont expect a third of our class to be from Tennessee anymore with this staff and honestly I think that is the best way to go about it if we want to actually win games. Yes, these kids bleed orange, but the kids in Florida bleed blue, the kids in Georgia bleed red and black, the kids in Alabama, so on and so forth. Its about getting the best kids. And when we were the best weve ever been we got the best kids out of Georgia, Florida, bama, the Carolinas and Virginia and supplemented in state. We need to get back to that to win ballgames. Go watch a highschool game in Georgia where the OL and DL average 285 and then go watch a game in TN where the line are 200 pounders and you realize how the physicality is just on a different level. These kids have been tackling college sized athletes for four years and the transfer of physicality is less severe than the TN kids adjusting to college physicality.
Sorry for the long ass run ons and grammatical errors I have been drinking whiskey.
