Given that so much of recruiting is relationships, I question if the disappointment with Tee this season is not having relationships with guys we would target. He's been on the West Coast long enough where that's where his relationships would be, and it would/could be hard to draw them this way. Maybe he gets a mulligan for this year, maybe not. I'm for whatever Pruitt feels he needs to do to solidify his staff. I would like to see Tee stay, but if he doesn't, I won't be heartbroken.
One thing I know for certain, how we started the season had to hurt everyone on staff in recruiting. Had to be tough to overcome. We've made a turnaround, and we can sell progress, but the question will remain if it's too little too late for some. I trust this staff though, to find guys who can play, even if they aren't the highly rated first choice we might have wanted. Next year, we need to start strong and show these kids TN is truly on the rise.
