Never. Georgia has what Tennessee has never had...an ample number of black high school athletes within the immediate area. Even under Fulmer, UT had to recruit nationally and dip into areas way outside of East Tennessee because there are hardly any black people that live in eastern Tennessee. The four most impactful guys on that national championship team. Deon Grant, Jamal Lewis, Cozey Coleman, and one other who I cannot think of at the moment all came from the state of Georgia. Throw in Peerless Price from Ohio and Tee Martin from Alabama and you see the problem. UT doesn't have the luxury of "cultivating" a particular recruiting area, whereas UGA can do that within 75 miles of campus.
You and I don't always agree, but you nailed that one.
