Jeremy Pruitt discusses Tennessee's incredible recruiting success
No one has been hotter on the recruiting trails lately than Jeremy Pruitt and the Tennessee Volunteers.
The Vols have watched their 2021 class shoot up to No. 2 in the 247Sports class rankings, behind only Ohio State.
So, how have the Vols had so much success? Pruitt joined Peter Burns and Chris Doering on SiriusXM Radio and talked about his program’s success on the trails:

“I’ve been a part of the best there can possibly be out there,” he said. “We know what great looks like as a staff. We’ve hired a (handful) of guys who understand that. … I feel like we have one of the best coaching staffs in the entire country. The players see that. They believe that. There’s no better recruiters than the players in our program.”
Can the Vols keep all these talented players in their class? We’ll see what happens over the next few months.
Pruitt doesn’t mess around. I like his approach.
At first I wasn’t worried.
Well, except for losing Mays.
Now i’m worried.
What happens if he starts replacing some of these recruits with more 5 stars later this year?
That’s one way to see it. I’m guessing someone gets recruited over, but maybe not. Pruitt trusts his evaluations, so do i.
Got real money behind him…the bag man is weighed down big time.
I’ve been telling you guys I got this. Believe me, I got this. I know what has to be done, and I’m doing it. There are always going to be critics and naysayers, but step back from the tree, pull your head out of your arses, and look at the forest.
I got this. Just wait and see. Big things happening at Tennessee
I love Pruitt’s greatness. Keep it comin’.
2020: 89.92
2021: 89.62
So irrelevant that you’re on here crying again. Literally half the UGA commenters/trolls do this.
Irrelevant? I don’t think that word means what you think it means.
As opposed to all of UGA’s talent and zero to show for it. If you’re scared, say you’re scared. Otherwise, don’t pay attention to little ole Tennessee, there’s nothing happening in Knoxville for Georgia to to be concerned about.
Hey if winning the SEC championship in 2017 (which tied mighty UT for 2nd behind Bammer) and catching (and passing) mighty UT in the overall series is “nothing to show for it”, then I’m cool with it! Pruitt has always been a good recruiter, but NONE of these kids have SIGNED, and Kirby isn’t going anywhere anytime soon either……LOTS of 4-5 starts out there with GEORGIA on their minds!

How many national championships you got with all those 5 stars? Lol
How many more recent natty’s does GA Tech have?
Big things happening at Tennessee they may be able a field a team to beat the likes of Georgia State or BYU in a few years
Your a$$ whippin is coming. Soon, very soon.
Pruitt has done a great job, but I’ll be shocked if all these players stay. With the coronavirus, kids haven’t been able to have in person visits or even visit campus recently. It will be interesting to see once things open up how many decommitments there are. Not knocking Tennessee, I think a lot of programs will have decommitments.
Of course there will be decommits. So many act like we will lose all the higher rates players. That’s a joke. We may have 1-2 go elsewhere but will likely add more 4-5 star players and lose more 3 stars. This class is almost a lock for top 10 and pushing for top 5. We will see but when so many of your competitors post the way they are and so many of their schools feel the need to tout a previous years win over us it means we are doing great things.
Jimbo always in the top 10 recruiting, doesnt mean everything…..
I agree-you can even win one East division title with a lower ranked, but scrappy recruiting class and the right coach
You’re right cock fan. We won’t get all of these kids because some of them will be recruited over and replaced with even better players.
But hey, at least you’re right…
I smell Manning money…
Media is really building us up. Fans are excited, but I believe remaining reasonable. Writers seem to think we are going to win the superbowl this year.
