Last I saw on ESPN is the Vols have the 7th rated class in the SEC and 15th in the nation. SEC recruiting is brutal.

This class had 11 of 23 recruits in the ESPN Top 300 - for a program that has 9 wins (2 in the SEC) in the past two seasons.

To me, that's a great recruiting year.

247 has us at 11th before Wright....Probably won't get us in the top 10......But our average star ranking is the highest in years with this class.

*s are nice but development is key.
For 5 long years there was little or no development under the glib salesman.
Last fall I saw development across the board.  Playing 3 true FR in the secondary was scary but, while having some expected breakdowns held their own.
I think the finish was the team just wearing down due to the little or no depth.

BTW, one player in the portal is a former 5*, think about that

I agree. Players must be developed.  Getting the players that CJP wants is just the beginning of the process.

I think that stage of the process went very well this cycle. About as good as we could have realistically hoped, at least.

Unfortunately the usual suspects are killing it as usual. Bama may have brought in the best class they ever have. UGa is right behind them. UF had a good class too. LSU is in the mix, aTm has the #3 class in the nation. When you add these recruits to the players they already have coming back it is a tall order to gain any ground on them. On a pleasant note, the Buckeyes class was  behind ours.

Rivals has us at 12, ESPN has us at 11.

That's doing pretty well for a team with the record we had. And had. And had. Etc. and so forth.
