Tennessee's early recruiting strategy by the numbers

Yes, generally pretty low right now.... Georgia is ok and they have a ton of really high ranked recruit leanings. Don't think anyone can possibly touch Ohio State though if they're projected 7-8 recruits commit. They are at 95.50 now with the the final 7-8 being graded at close to a 98 composite average.

VOLS current class at this very moment if they do not cull any slaw or add anymore croots would finish 11th in last year’s rankings

I would wager at least 5 lower ranked current commits with be encouraged to look elsewhere and maybe as many as 8 imo

Agreed. Plus Tennessee is still very much in play with a number of very good to elite recruits, and Pruitt has done a very good job of closing down the stretch in his two full classes after getting embarrassed in his first partial class.

There will probably be a couple of guys added that aren’t even on the radar right now imo. Pruitt has pulled some elite guys late in the game that Tennessee wasn’t even mentioned for at this stage in the process. Like To’oto’o, Crouch, Wideman, Morven Joeseph etc

A&M’s was 95+ but the 247 dropped it significantly.

AU, UA, UGA and LSU going after quality over quantity.

Interesting strategy. May blow up in their faces if they struggle on the field with an 8-4 or 7-5.

How many are they expecting to sign? I know the 25 number is never the high water limit but they signed 23 last year so does this mean they are capped at 27?

Pruitt's strategy make me recall Miami's old strategy where they dominated early recruiting with tons of lower ranked commits and a couple of high ones, then they would fall outside of the top 10 as signing day approached.

I like how you are trying to convince yourself all those 3-stars are really 4-stars.

Those recruiting ranking are still heads and tails above what any of us couch potatoes have to say.... it wonder what you would say if you were getting a number of them... no need to answer, i know the answer...it's human nature.
