Except they have to go out of state, just like Nebraska. They’ll never have the recruiting advantages that Georgia, LSU, Bama, the Texas schools and Florida schools have. The only hope is to mimic what OU does, and that’s raid Texas most years. If they can get a guy to do that they Tenn. can turn it around otherwise they are the new Nebraska.
They aren't at the top tier of in-state recruiting, but they are certainly in that next group. In-state talent in Tennessee is better than Oklahoma. It's in the that tier behind the 7-8 big talent producing states (Florida, Texas, California, Georgia, Louisiana, Alabama, Virginia).
TENNESSEE
2013 - 8 4-stars, 1 5-star
2014 - 7 4-stars, 0 5-stars
2015 - 10 4-stars, 0 5-stars
2016 - 8 4-stars, 0 5-stars
2017 - 6 4-stars, 3 5-stars
2018 - 8 4-stars, 1 5-star
OKLAHOMA
2013 - 2 4-stars, 0 5-stars
2014 - 7 4-stars, 0 5-stars
2015 - 5 4-stars, 0 5-stars
2016 - 1 4-stars, 0 5-stars
2017 - 5 4-stars, 0 5-stars
2018 - 5 4-stars, 1 5-star
And they will always sign 6-7 good players from North Carolina/Georgia/Florida.

To be fair, Oklahoma is a short trip to TX and play the State Fair. The bigger question - perhaps the OU folks will chime in - is how well they recruit the west coast. Seems in the original realignment discussions in 2010, the PAC move would benefit OU the most.
Can someone confirm or deny this?
