    all we can do is improve every year. you can't suck for a decade and expect a top 5 class.

    I'm most interested to see if we have a last minute unknown like ESD or if they save space for next year.

    I think we take either Kenney Solomon, Jahkeem Green, or Julian Hawkins.

    I like a lot of the lower rated guys.

    Elijah Simmons could be the answer to a lot of run defense problems.

    Roman Harrison is a guy that's just a damn good football player.

    Warren Burrell wasn't highly rated, but had a lot of SEC interest.

    Sheesh, Alabama has a full class of top 300 players. I know some get the Bama bump, but still.

    Athletic did a story re-ranking the 2015 recruiting classes. Author said in the comments that UT's top 10 class didn't crack the top 50 based on his methodology. Weird.

    Off the top of my head Kamara was really the only one that lived up to their ranking

    Guys that didn't finish out their eligibility from that class due to injury:

    Jack Jones

    Andrew Butcher

    (2)

    Guys that transferred out:

    Preston Williams

    Sheriron Jones

    Venzell Boulware

    Quay Picou

    Stephen Griffin

    Tommy Townsend

    Joe Young

    Kyle Oliver

    Jocquez Bruce

    Quinten Dormady

    (10)

    Zach Stewart never made it to campus.

    McKenzie and Sapp left for the NFL.

    13 guys from a class of 30 left to go elsewhere and 2 guys left for the NFL early.

    Then add missed seasons due to injury from Tuttle, Jennings, Kirkland Jr and Phillips and you get Butch.

    I think it was an extremely talented class that didn’t pan out for the reasons you listed.

    Hopefully we have better coaches, better evaluators, and better S&C to prevent as many injuries.

    14 and 15 were star studded classes.

    Maybe it’s just because I follow Tennessee more closely than anyone else but it just seems like we’ve been plagued with recruiting busts WAY more than other programs... I know the coaching staffs have been busts also but shit man... you’d think a program like Tennessee would get it really right ONE year out of 15...

    Eyabi Anoma entering the dreaded “transfer portal”... former 5* OLB. Maryland seems to be the odds on favorite but I wonder if Pruitt has a connection to this guy?

    They need to install an actual Transfer Portal on every campus.

    [itch bay]ing about a top 15 class after back to back losing seasons. Is that what is going on in here?
