Ummm?You're putting words into my mouth. What I'm getting at is last year we went 4-8 and had big recruiting weekends where we lost. I heard Hubbs and others like him continuously say while wins and losses does matter recruits aren't usually persuaded by one game. They are looking to see if we are showing improvement, game day atmosphere, facilities, the staff itself, etc.
I'm all about the win last year and not trying to minimize it, but I don't think the win itself has that much influence on a recruits final decision.
I had just seen where you asked why everyone kept bringing up that "we beat Auburn last year". My reply was "because it is more important to win the game than win recruiting battles."You're putting words into my mouth.

Butler, a freshman at Independence (Kan.) Community College, received an offer from Tennessee on Thursday.
The 6-foot-5, 280-pound Butler played at Newton High School in Covington, Ga., before enrolling at Independence, and he will have three remaining seasons of eligibility at the school of his choice after sitting out the 2018 season. He's scheduled to take an official visit to Auburn this weekend, and the Tigers now have received five of the six predictions for Butler on the 247Sports Crystal Ball. Butler will have two remaining official visits after this weekend, and while he's currently set to travel to Oregon next weekend, his visit plans might not be set in stone after the Vols and Ole Miss both extended offers to him on Thursday
no traction here, they are trying to get him to visit here vs. going to Oregon next week. i think he's at Auburn this weekend, and all indications are he's going there.I know they aren't fool proof, but I don't believe that the Volquest podcast (that dropped today) even mentioned this guy.
They mentioned Evans, Beckwith, some receiver options, and the Spencer prospect, but that was it for the class of 2020.
