Ton of in-state talent that are committed out of state

2022 Rivals.com Tennessee Top 40

What can we do to turn the corner and keep some of these guys in-state?

We could really use some of these guys:

1. Walter Nolen
2. Keaton Wade
3. Jacob Hood (although beating Georgia will be tough)
4. Fisher Anderson (I am pretty sure he is going to Stanford for academics but still make a push)
5. Kody Jones
6. Taylor Groves
7. Giovanni Davis - Looks like he might commit to Tennessee so one positive.

If we could flip these guys, we would have a great class. These are all Tennessee prospects. Unlike 10-15 years ago, I think the talent is there in Tennessee now to help build a Championship team.

We're 31 in recruiting. I still think we finish strong (#13-17 class). But this year we will be the big winner of the Transfer Portal!

I don’t remember how many recruits have committed to this class, maybe 14? But Doug Matthews spoke about this earlier this morning. Heupel is about done w high school class and will focus on portal. The 2023 class will be more freshmen w less players from portal. I wouldn’t sweat losing some of these kid. Nolen is the one main miss.

We may finish 20-25. I highly doubt we do much better than 20.

4 good commits will move us up that much.

Get the best recruits from wherever you can. The instate thing is vastly overrated.

Yep

But it would be nice to get the ones you want from in state. I don't count Nolan as an in-state player anyway.

Makes complete sense.
