It seems the modern day high school players look at these things when choosing a college.

1. Relationships with those directly involved in recruiting them.
2. Relationships with Head Coach and rest of the staff. Expected Stability of staff.
3. Relationships with the current team members.
4. Expectations that staff can get them to the NFL - their history of getting players to NFL.
5. Expected amount of playing time.
6. Geography - proximity of school to home and friends and family.
7. Peer pressure - where are players from your high school, other friends, girlfriends going.
8. Family atmosphere, comfort level, religious environment (for some).
9. Facilities - both athletic and academic, structures, tutors, training table food, etc.
10. Tradition of winning. Playing often on a big stage in big nationally televised games.
11. Support from fans in attendance and enthusiasm levels.
12. Campus amenities. Favorite restaurants. Nearby attractions (eg the beach 🏖 or the mountains 🏔 ).

Agree?
If so, where does Pruitt and his staff stack up recruiting against our biggest rivals?

We are playing Auburn this week so you forgot the 4 most important items...

1. How much does the bagman put in the offering plate?
2. How close is the bagman to the student athlete?
3. How close is the bagman to the student athlete's family?
4. Can the bagman pay the HS guidance counselor to get a student athlete eligible?

Yes, and Tennessee can stand toe to toe with most programs on these. Some things are completely subjective to the individual, so that is always completely arbitrary.

Danny O’Brien loved the hunting here. Tee Higgins wanted to get away from home...

Hahaha...is that why Ole Miss brags about a place called “The Grove”... maybe we should erect an area on campus and call it “the Bush”?
