In early May of 2019, a report ran on Gridiron Now of Tennessee football struggling to recruit under new head coach Jeremy Pruitt. A month later, they added six new recruits, four of them who were four-star recruits on Rivals.
This year, it’s happening again. An updated article on the Knoxville News Sentinel notes that the Vols’ recruiting rankings have dropped recently. With six commitments, four of whom are four-stars on Rivals, one who is a three-star and one who is a two-star, the Vols have the No. 27 ranked class right now.
So, once again, panic voices are rising.
