For Voles, mediocrity is a step up.

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

 

http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/story/11339771

 

Nearly everyone ranked higher than Tenn

 

 

 

Rivals ranks them #10

 

http://rivals100.rivals.com/teamrank.asp

 

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

 

http://cfn.scout.com/2/837258.html

 

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?
