3* and the #3 player in TN? A little wierd
Same thought here. TN lacking in local talent?
Yes. Odd.
Tennessee is not known for strong HS football. UT recruits out of state. Still makes me smile anytime we steal one from those $#@& £€{^ ‘s . Most obnoxious fane base in America. Of course their spin will be that they didn’t want him . But we do -welcome home son !
