I really think Butch and his team will pull in an OK recruiting class this year. Top 25, maybe top 20 or 15. It's got to be a very difficult sell with the coaching change and the product that's been put out on the field the past 5+ years. The tradition, facilities and playing time are probably the only things that are a huge selling point right now.
However, I do think what they are really trying to do is lay the ground work for future classes. Building relationships, especially in Tennessee that will help in '14, '15 and beyond. If they have a pretty good season (winning season, bowl game) then '14 could be a very good recruiting year for Tennessee. JMO.
