ESPN RECRUITING RATINGS VOLS = #16

[eVOLution]

  I am not much for the team rankings! However, I think it is impressive what Dooley and Co. are doing. I'll hang up an listen. Thoughts?

I'm neither impressed nor unimpressed. The staff has done a really nice job of coming on strong after a somewhat slow start to this recruiting season, but overall I think we're right about where we should be for this time of year. Yes, Tennessee has been really down lately and that makes it a tougher sell to recruits, but we still have the facilities and support to impress any 18-year-old. And as long as Alabama, Florida and Auburn are going to recruit in the top five every year, we either have to be right there with them or our staff has to have a keen eye for those overlooked prospects. (Which, in some ways, I think they do...)
