Tennessee also had a dozen 4-stars -- a bumper crop of talent this year, and at positions of need for UT. Unfortunately for the Vols, they didn't do so well at landing many of them.

Yeah this year wasnt an incredible in-state year. According to 247 we landed 6 of the top 20 players which includes the #1 overall in Trey Smith. Not amazing but not bad. Next year is shaping up to be a great instate year though. Many of the top players seem to be locked in including a hard commit from the #1 in state player and top 10 overall. But you never know how it will end up, kids change their mind all the time.
