Looking at the players different coaches got from the state of Tennessee because I see it get mentioned a TON! looking to see averages, seems like we never really built our teams all that much from TN until the Butch years, Fulmer fluctuated pretty heavily (from 35% of a class down to 4%). Butch was fairly consistent in taking guys from TN. and as you can see we didn't consistently just take from the top of the state either. (61 of the 180 top guys since 2002 33%) this is all 247 had the information on. if someone wants to go back further go right ahead. Not really making a statement here, just doing some research.
Fulmer:
2000: 6 of 26 players were from TN. Witten was the highest and the only one ranked at # 2 in the state. (23%)
2001: 1 of 21, Paul Monroe, unranked (to be fair there aren't a lot of ranked players at this point) (4%)
2002: 7 of 24, #1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 of the top ten players (29%)
2003: 6 of 22, #1, 10 of the top ten (27%)
2004: 5 of 22, #2, 7, (22%)
2005: 8 of 25, #3, 4, 5, 7, 8, (33%)
2006: 4 of 22, #2, 5, 6, 7 (18%)
2007: 11 of 31, #1, 5, 8, 10 (35%)
2008: 4 of 18, #2, 4, 8, (22%)
So of the 211 he signed over that time frame (thats all 247 tracks) only 52 were from TN (24%)
Kiffin:
2009: 6 of 21, #4, 5, 8, (28%) Kiffin liked TN players more than Fulmer did
Dooley:
*I know he was brought right at the tail end of the Kiffin class but here we go
2010: 2 of 28, #1, 2 (7%)
2011: 7 of 27, #1, 2, 4, 6, 7, (26%)
2012: 3 of 22, #4 (13%)
Of the 77 Dooley is given credit for signing only 12 were from TN (15%)
Butch:
2013: 7 of 23, #5, 8, 10, (30%)
2014: 10 of 32, #1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 (31%)
2015: 9 of 30. #1, 2, 4, 7, (30%)
2016: 3 of 23, #3, 5 (13%)
2017: 8 of 27, #1, 5, 6 (29%)
of the 135 Butch signed 37 were from TN (27%). so he liked the TN players more than Fulmer did.
Pruitt:
2018: 7 of 22, #4, 5, (31%)
2019: 4 of 23, #5, 8, (17%)
As of right now (8/21/19) we are up to 5 of 15, including the #2 and 9 players (33%) obviously here no one has signed yet, but I felt like including them.
Let the Debate!
