Wouldn't a sweep be all 10?

Alex Bars, a big OL who went to Notre Dame. Tennessee was never really in it. Both of his brothers played in the B1G. Had no real interest in staying home.

Also, Man Smith to Vandy. Debatable whether he had an offer.

Nice. If you guys can do that 3 years in a row you'll be back soon enough.

And they're all 4* or 5* except for #10 Jashon Robertson. 2015 will have 10 4* from the state of Tennessee as well. Tennessee now produces more 4* than South Carolina or Mississippi.

Isnt this kinda like OU taking most of the top kids in Oklahoma?

The fact that you DONT do this every year is the more relevant story.

Don't be a hata just cuz OM is used to picking off a few recruits from TN here and there.

UT has frequently lost the top players in the state to teams like Bama, USC and Notre Dame.

Last year it went like this:

1. Jalen Ramsey - FSU
2. Frank Herron - LSU
3. Jason Carr - UT
4. Jodan Wilkins - Ole Miss
5. Corn Elder - Miami
6. Jalen Reeves Maybin - UT
7. Donald Gray - MSU
8. Mark Dodson - Ole Miss
9. Austin Sanders - UT
10. Christian Morris - UCLA

None of the top 10 from last year that didn't go to UT stayed in state. That is typical. Other states cherry pick from the top 10 in Tennessee.

In the 2012 class, there were more from the top 10 that went to Ole Miss than to UT.

Is it really sweeping if it's 8/10?
