re: Tennessee ranked #2 on 2021 Recruiting Class

Not so fast. Total points mean little except teams like UT have committed a bunch of 3 stars. It's the average of the recruits that matter. Clemson is at a 4 then you have a litany of the usual suspects like OSU in the Big Ten, UF, UGA and Bama in the SEC with LSU just a little off that pace. USC and Oregon out west. The Aggies in Texas with UT just behind.

I guess that's one way to try and deny Tennessee's success so far.

They also have more 5-stars currently committed to them than any other school not named Ohio State. So while there are a lot of 3-stars currently in the class, there are also more 5-stars than all but one other school. Also they have momentum right now with several more 4-stars projected to commit to them in under a week.

Its very likely that all this momentum will lead to them picking up even more highly regarded players and some of those 3-stars they took early on will be let go.
