UT Recruiting Problem

That's because the state of Tennessee as a whole pretty much sucks at football at the HS level. Other than the area around Maryville, and Alcoa apparently no one in TN produces D1 talent for the most part.

They don't work hard enough or want it enough [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

True, they don't seem to want to work hard enough for it.

Middle Tennessee is very good in football. You have schools like Riverdale,Ravenwood,Hillsboro,Goodpasture,MBA,Bren twood Academy,David Lipscomb,Brentwood,Smyrna won several state titles. In matter of fact Middle Tennessee is the strongest area for high school football in Tennessee. Maryville,Fulton and Alcoa have been strong lately.

I agree, but those are a couple of 5A and then private schools. The middle part of the state (Knoxvegas to Nashville) is much stronger than the eastern, or western parts of the state. NET football is really weak for the most part.
