The heyday of Nebraska meant recruiting the east coast, which now Ohio State and Michigan are getting now they added Maryland and Rutgers. While Vols historically did well in state, seems their best was coming from GA which now has become more fractured with ACC success.

Tennessee is still signing good players from Georgia. The places that they no-longer sign elite kids from are Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana. But, the state of Tennessee has grown and the talent there is much better than it was in the mid-90s.
Tennessee with a good head coach will recruit well enough to win a lot of games. Heck, Butch recruited well enough to win a lot of games.

The Vols have recruited well under Butch. They even recruited well under Dooley for the most part. It hasn't become as fractured as you may think. Knoxville is 5 hour or less drive from at least 6 or 7 recruiting hotbeds.
For instance, they signed the #4 class in 2015. They had 7 signees from the Atlanta metro area, 2 from NC, 2 from VA. Only 9 of their 30 commits were from the state of Tennessee. They still have no problem recruiting nationally
