#9 in the nation, #5 in the SEC, #2 in the East. Only team in the top 20 with a losing record.

I like how Pruitt is flipping that roster. With his class he just reeled in, coupled with his JUCO and transfer haul, things are looking good for Rocky Top. Imo, they got the best OL class in the country.

Rivals and ESPN say otherwise.

#9 in the nation,


With all the turmoil in the football program over the last 2 years that is a very nice class. No doubt about it. I think the haters in the East might be concerned....

Pruitt is going to have Tennessee competing for Atlanta very shortly. The unfortunate thing about it for UT is that Saban doesn't have too many years left. If Dabo stays at Clemson, they'll lose him to one of the biggest rivals.

They are clearly getting better, there's no denying that, but people are giving way too much credit to one good recruiting class that is only the 6th or 7th best in the league.

This isn't the 90s where they only had UF to contend with. UF and UT are both on the same trajectory of rising from piss poor to upgrading in talent and coaching. UGA isn't going anywhere. Bama isn't going anywhere. Not to mention SC/missouri/UK aren't pushovers and they still can't seem to figure vandy out.

They are definitely improving but I don't see them winning the east for a while.

Phil was also consistently pulling top 3 classes in the '90's including three #1's also had Cutclif calling plays.

They got some good looking OL prospects but on paper it wouldn't measure up to Alabama. Who landed 3 of the top 76. 4 of the top 200 and 5 of the top 300. But Pruitt knows where they are getting knocked around and that is up front. His inside down DL recruits are lead by a couple of J/c's and one here and there to fill a slot is ok but you can't base you future on them. There are reasons all of them are in JC. DT's that can play are the rarest of recruits. Congrats however on getting some guys up front on offense. The SEC is a LOS league along with QB/receivers. But primarily LOS. Pruitt won't stop and he'll look under every rock.

What kind of sorcery is this? I was told that Arkansas was the champion recruiter of the loser teams.

What a terrible mistake these kids are making.

Proot couldn’t develop a single one of Butch’s players to even get a combine invite.

Tennessee, where careers go to die.
