Nope, but I've seen it ranked near the bottom when it comes to the average arse on campus.
Wrong again. Granted they didn't make it to LSU but everything below speaks for itself
quote:
Some of the top prospects in the city of Memphis gathered this week to take a whirlwind tour of the SEC over the course of four days, stopping at two programs per day.
The all-star caravan consists of: 2015 LB Joshua McMillon of Whitehaven, 2015 athlete Deddrick Thomas of Central, 2015 all-purpose back Jamal Jones of Trezevant, 2015 ATH Johnathon Johnson of Melrose, 2014 wide receiver Nikia Cathey of Westwood and 2014 ATH Cornelius Sturghill of Melrose.
The trip was comprised of Monday visits to Ole Miss and Mississippi State, Tuesday stops at Alabama and Auburn, Wednesday visits to Georgia and Tennessee and Thursday stops at Kentucky and Vanderbilt.
The six talked with 247Sports about their Mississippi visit on Monday and on Thursday recapped the rest of the week We talked to each prospect about his experience during the week and also polled them on what school stood out in several categories.
The exit poll
Best Facilities
Sturghill: Georgia. I loved everything about how their campus is made. They’ve got a lot of unique things that I’ve never seen before.
Cathey: Tennessee and Auburn. They go hand in hand. At Auburn, the players’ lounge, they’ve got a game room downstairs with a pool table and they’ve got orange and blue lights. It’s off the chain. Tennessee was great too, just all of it.
Jones: Auburn. It just stood out to me because they had a lot of things that other colleges don’t have.
Johnson: Auburn. I liked all of it.
Thomas: Auburn. When I first walked in the stadium, I said this is beautiful.
McMillon: Tennessee. Their stadium, their indoor facility and weight room and the rehab rooms. They have three or four whirlpools to work with your body and a lot of machines to get you back in top shape.
Best Stadium
Sturghill: Tennessee. It was the biggest and had the most attendance.
Cathey: Tennessee. They’ve got the biggest stadium and their locker room was off the chain.
Jones: Tennessee. That Checkerboard end zone.
Johnson: Georgia. Probably Georgia and Tennessee.
Thomas: Alabama.
McMillon: Tennessee. That’s a big crowd, you play in front of 102,000.
Best looking girls
Sturghill: Tennessee
Cathey: Tennessee
Jones: Tennessee
Johnson Tennessee
Thomas: Tennessee
McMillon: Tennessee
Favorite Assistant Coach
Sturghill: I’d say Tennessee coach Mark Elder.
Cathey: All the coaches were great with me, Auburn, Tennessee, Mississippi State, Ole Miss. I liked everybody’s coaches.
Johnson: Coach Elder at Tennessee. He’s just a nice guy. He’s just awesome.
Thomas: Coach Elder at Tennessee
McMillon: Coach (Geoff) Collins from Mississippi State. He almost jumped on me when he saw me. He was very excited to get me down there. He actually gave me a motto. He said Mississippi State makes the best linebackers in the SEC.
Favorite Head Coach
Sturghill: Coach James Franklin. Me and Coach Franklin have got a real good relationship. We just clicked.
Cathey: I like Dan Mullen and Butch Jones. They speak advice and they tell you the truth and always give you something to take with you.
Jones: The Auburn coach and the Tennessee coach. Both of them, they stood out to me by how they were communicating, with how they showed me around.
Johnson: Tennessee’s head coach. He seemed like he’s very cool and laid back. He’s straight forward with you.
Thomas: Tennessee’s head coach. He’s just laid back with us.
McMillon: Coach James Franklin. We talked twice now. When I came down to their 7on7 camp, he actually brought my bags to the dorm. I kind of like that. He was just telling me about their new facilities and stuff like that.

I couldn't make it past the facilities part without having to piss
So that's what envy feels like
ETA: After watching LSUs virtual tour on their facilities, there's literally not one aspect better then UTs.
Indoor training field - Ours
Hydrotherapy room - Ours
Weight Room - Ours
Locker Room - Ours
Players Lounge - Ours
Display room - Ours
Coaches Offices over looking field - Ours
Ampitheater meeting room - Ours
The only facility in the SEC that's on par with us is Bama. You guys aren't too far behind though. Keep grinding

Tennessee is obviously in contention for Garrett. LSU has a slight lead, but the VOLS are right there.
Distance may be playing a factor too, Knoxville is about four and half hours from his hometown, Baton Rouge is north of ten.

Tennessee is a washed up program after you fired your old coach. He is LSU bound.

That's why your recruiting and record has been so good the past 13 years.

Time will tell. But you're severely underestimating his interest in UT.

No you are just over estimating it..

Tennessee is no longer relevant yea maybe ten years ago, but not anymore and that's not going to change next year or the year after that. Clifton is going to LSU. He was impressed by his visit because he was expecting very little going into Tennessee. Kid loves Baton Rouge, Chavis, LSU, and he wants to be apart of a great recruiting class so he can try to win championships. He WILL NOT get that at Tennessee!! FACT!
