That's only an advantage if you can recruit elite players. That's my point. And Tennessee hasn't lately. In fact, recently the best player to come out of the state of TN went to UK.

Oh, is that where Donta Hightower went? We don't have great in state talent, but its better than people think. We just haven't gotten any due to coaching changes and different coaching staffs.

Donta Hightower
Barrett Jones
Golden Tate
Alex Hurst
Patrick Willis
Randall Cobb
Aaron Douglass

All these were from Tennessee and probably bout 10-15 more really good players that I missed. Our problem is that we haven't gotten the better ones recently.
