Outside of the Memphis area, I'd take a kid from the Mississippi any day of the week before a kid in TN.


Bring me a kid from Nashville or Knoxville before Memphis any day.

Middle TN talent is miles and miles better than Memphis trash.

I would like to see VOLS stop recruiting Memphis altogether. Atrocious football talent.

This 1000 times. I love some of the Memphis kids we've had over the years but we've also seen more busts from Memphis than should be possible. I disagree on stopping recruiting Memphis though.

We have the ability to be choosy and coaches need to do their due diligence with Memphis kids just like they do with out of state kids who are talented but come from rougher areas (Inky Johnson, for example, was passed over by just about everyone but Fulmer not just because he was a tad undersized but because he came from a part of Atlanta people don't like to recruit).
