Every year, last year especially, it seems that we're pretty excited about being on the list for a lot of guys. We tend to think that if we're in the top three for a lot of high-profile recruits, then we should get a third of them, so it's worthwhile. This article, although about basketball, advances the idea that it's better just to leave off certain high-profile guys and go for people that we have a chance to sign.
Of course, being Tennessee, we should have a good shot with a number of high profile recruits. But we should go after the ones we have a shot with and not try to sway lost causes. Recruiting energies can be spent elsewhere. I find this compelling. Of course, then there's the question of knowing when it's a lost cause. But that's another topic entirely. . .
