I honestly think Tennessee is like Nebraska, they're never coming "back."

I don’t know. A lot of the advantages that UT leveraged 20 years ago to overcome the lack of instate talent aren’t there anymore but the talent in Tennessee is on the rise. The Middle Tennessee region has been one of the fastest growing regions in the country over the last 10-15 years and is showing no signs of slowing. I would agree that the quality isn’t quite there yet but with so much more quantity being added it still opens up more talent to UT from the region that was there traditionally.
