it's not as bad as some people make it out to be. sure it's not Georgia or Florida. Alabama isn't exactly gold mine either but they're winning even when they're sharing with other power house program in the state.

We're not talking about the high school talent in Tennessee. We're talking about the actual location of the University of Tennessee. Recruits don't wanna live in east Tennessee any more. Kids from Memphis would rather sign with Ole Miss or Arkansas than Tennessee. Talent from Florida would rather move one state north than two states north.

When's the last time the state of Tennessee produced a player as good as Julio Jones or T.J. Yeldon?

Those four from SC were all SC and CU rejects who had committed to ECU, are they not?
