Browsing through Bleacher Report today (I know, I know) an SEC Country article said that Tennessee Football just had 8 committments at their "Orange Carpet" on Saturday. 7 of the commits are in the '17 class, the other one in the '18 class. So their ranking for this coming year went from 22nd to 7th. Every single one of them was a 3*.
I don't follow other teams' recruiting at all, but if that's how Tennessee usually gets their high recruiting rankings then it would make sense why they always disappoint. Quantity over quality down there.
Here's hoping for a 20+ star week sometime this summer for the good guys, but we would only need 4 or 5 guys to do that!
