Ok, not sure I totally agree with this but here it is. I was listening to sports talk radio while I was in Memphis on Tuesday. One of the guys who has some connections to UT gave his explanation as to why UT had a bad year in recruiting.
1: Phil Fulmer during the year was really on the hot seat. He believes that Fulmer probably thought that he wouldnt be able to turn the season around would be asked to resign or get fired.
2: Thinking he might not be here, he didnt really care much about recruiting or just "went through the motions."
3: His justification for #2 is that UT has always been the hunt for A LOT more top talent guys than they were this year.
4: Felt like Fulmer thinks he can make it up in 08 if he was still the head coach.
We saw Tommy T. do this when he knew he was going to leave Ole Miss and go to Auburn. Houston Nutt didnt recruit well all year knowing he was going to resign at Arkansas.
Love to hear what others think about this.
