Kiffin and Tennessee keep talking about how they kicked everyone's butt (especially Florida) in recruiting. Let's check the facts:
MaxPreps/Tom Lemming's Top 25 Recruiting Classes
Tennessee not listed in top 25
Nearly everyone ranked higher than Tenn
Rivals ranks them #10
but their average star rating is 3.62 versus the leader - Florida - at 3.94
Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Florida State, Florida, - all ahead of Tenn
ESPN ranked Tenn as #15
LSU, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Miami, FSU, South Carolina - all ahead of Tenn
Scout listed Tenn at #20
The regular Scout team rankings not available (down) - had to pull from old news story
Alabama, LSU, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Ole Miss, FSU, Miami, Auburn - all ahead of Tenn
So what are Kiffin and Tennessee fans so happy about?
At best Tenn is ranked about halfway in the SEC. And they are estatic about mediocrity?
