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.
