Honestly, and I don’t 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 don’t think they are convinced the rankings match the level of play and talent of these kids yet. I’m not speaking about Nash specifically, more a general statement.

we’ve had some highly ranked players come out of this state these past few years and a surprising amount of them haven’t 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 don’t 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 can’t 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. We’ll also try and get a few out of Ohio, Kentucky and the Virginia’s with a smattering of highly talented kids in other random states.

Don’t 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. It’s about getting the best kids. And when we were the best we’ve 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.

Go Vols baby we gunna be aight

You can do likewise.

part.

It doesn't matter, when all said and done the tenn kids will be playing p5 football somewhere..we can argue ..whether the tenn Fan's or Pruitt staff like them or not...Some of them will be on the other side of UT stadium sideline..we all are entitled to our on opinion that's all it is..TN lost out on Shamar today a kid they thought they had...No team in college football ball will ever be successful without retaining some of their own state talent .

Pruitt will retain “some” of the instate talent. He will also get many players out of state he wants that are equivalent or better than the ones he passes on instate. Get off your soapbox

Nobody knows what Pruitt wants to do in state or anywhere really. He doesn't give info out. It's all guessing games beyond what he said himself that some years he may only sign 3-4 and some he may want 10 or more in state. He will go for the best talent no matter where they are.

Who says he isn't recruiting in state? He seems to have no issue contacting a wilhoite, knox, Washington, Hampton, Bennett, lampley etc.... just because they didn't have Nash at top of board a few of you are butt hurt. Nash doesn't even look that special compared to wilhoite and Knox at the same position in state

Pruitt and his staff of proven SEC recruiters know what they're doing and how to build a championship team. They are working their relationships and will sign a Top 10 class in 2019. Doesn't matter where they're from, it only matters if they sign with UT and win ballgames. Look around at the first two pages of the recruiting forum...it's littered with new offers from all over the SE and nationally. I'm certain they'll sign 25 ballers and we'll be happy come NSD.

Sure Pruitt will do bout as grate as the others..and his staff is full of coaches that got fired from other schools or let go. Tenn new staff is full of ex GA and FL former coaches ,,and those coaches could not get the job done in those areas and they were where all the talent were..so now they supposed to come to Tennessee and bring in top talent from Florida and GA.but they failed to do that while coaching at those schools.. PLEASE

Same person apparently has created two Accounts.

Smh bunch of trolls. Pruitt hasn't proved himself? The guy has a national title as a D.C. At 2 different schools and posted top 10 defenses at 3 different schools. The guy clearly can coach in his own two feet.

Guys, he can't spell "great". Before you do it, ask yourself if you want to argue with a person of this caliber?

To get hired at Google as an engineer you typically have to be one of the best in your field. To be hired in the R&D department at apple you have to be one of the best at your job. To get hired as defensive coordinator for a national championship team (not one, but two), you have to be one of the best in the business. To get hired at the corner market as a cashier, I’d have to get a reference from you, right?
