Tennessee’s 2015 recruiting class was ranked 2nd in the sec. The next 3 classes were all ranked just inside the top half in the SEC.
MU’s classes have been ranked above 13th in the SEC just once since 2013.
This is not an argument about “stars don’t matter” or Development or an argument that MU is great at finding Diamonds in the Rough - but quite simply the question has to be asked: “which team today looked more talented?”
The next time you find yourself triggered about MU getting a commit from a 3 Star or an in-State 4-star going somewhere else, just ask yourself again “which team looked more talented?”
