Out of the top 10 if you go by average on 247. Signing 33 makes it easier. It's a good class, but quantity and quality don't necessarily match (a lot of 4 star guys though)


You are correct. While it's a very good class, it is only top 10 due to quantity and not overall quality. It would be around 15 if you went by actually player average.

And yes I realize top 15 is still very good quality and better than our class at Arkansas.

You are incorrect and don't understand how services work. They limit the players counted often to 20. Many don't count JUCOs. Most add bonuses for Top300/100/50 players and once again 247 has yet to update our class which would leapfrog a spot if they bothered to subtract -1 and use the actual total 32 not 33.

ETA: Count his 5 stars: LINK

The player average rating was 89.34 (according to the 24/7 composite average). That would put UT's class at #13 nationally by player average. That would put UT behind Bama, LSU, aTm, UGA, AU and UF.

That being said...if you were going to field a football team, would you rather have 21 players with an average score of 90.7 or 32 players with an average score of 89.3? If you already have plenty of depth, then you can focus solely on individual player quality. If you need to add depth, then you need both quality and quantity.

UT had an excellent class. Most importantly...they filled spots of need.

Ha, this guy. The numbers actually make the average worse.

Again, like I said earlier. 18 commits 4* or higher. Only bama has more.

So, continue to hate if you'd like, but I recommend asking forgiveness for being a moron.

The top-20 recruits are only integrated into the rankings lol... All these people crying saying Tennessee's class is only top-10 because of QUANTITY need to learn how the rankings work.
Just like the UGA guy claiming their class is better than TN's lol... While it's on par it is in NO WAY better. In fact, i'd take TN's class over uga's.
