Yes but this consistent level of recruiting is something the Vols have not seen since the 90s. Fulmer did all right in his later years, but an up year would be followed by one or two down years. This is the second of what is likely to be three consecutive years that Butch has us in the top 5 of the country, which is on par with the likes of LSU, Florida and Auburn....definitely good enough to win consistently in the SEC.
After a long Dooley dry spell, we are finally holding our own in recruiting again.
And for all his guff, Kiffin never got higher than 10th.
