Fulmer is a great recruiter but he has underperformed in getting the most of that talent. Many experts thought the Vols would be playing in the Rose Bowl tonite.
That's been the knock on Mack Brown,too. He could recruit the talent but couldn't get them to play up to their potential.
OU stole Adrian Peterson and Rhett Bomar from Texas because they couldn't win big games.
OU's recruiting just got alot tougher.
Something went really wrong with Tennesse this year. With Cutcliff back as offensive coordinator, I think they will be a top 5 team again next year. (BTW, I am Bama fan so I say this with reluctance).
