your school is in terrible recruiting territory.
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.

you're acting like Tennessee is located in Indiana or something.
only 3 hours away from gold mine metro Atlanta. state of North Carolina is loaded with elite recruits and East Tennessee is located right next to them. Alabama and South Carolina isn't too far away either. with close proximity to loaded Georgia and North Carolina it's an awesome location if you're winning. (keywords: if you're winning)

Knoxville > Oxford ./thread
As far as Campuses go, we're definitely mid/lower table.
As far as the area and overall city.. Location, Population, Distance , and outdoor beauty ( Smokys + 100's of lakes and rivers ). Knoxville is one of the premier locations in the south to have a Major campus located in it.Urban for the city boys or really Rugged for the mountain guys. Knoxville and the smokies are like Fayettville and the Ozarks.. just 1000x prettier and better in every facet
