UT getting Nashville area recruiting commits
Tony Vitello's recent success at Tenn. looks to be paying dividends in the Nashville area as the Vols have secured 8 commitments for the next few years including a Freshman at CPA.

Re: UT getting Nashville area recruiting commits
Only the top 4 of Tennessee’s 2022 recruits have a PerfectGame.org rating. The 3 recruits from Tennessee (all unrated) are 9th, 13th and 16th in the class.
Seven of the 15 2023 recruits are from Tennessee; the only PG rated player is from Sevierville.
And UT has 3 Class of 2024 commitments from PG-rated Tennessee players. They are from Knoxvile(2) and Chattanooga.

One of the twos is from Tennessee. One of the threes is from Tennessee. Our recruits come from 10 states and Puerto Rico.

Re: UT getting Nashville area recruiting commits
Don't discount what Vitello is doing over there. Baseball America's recruiting ranks came out last week and UT is #5. VU is #3, so Corbs isn't going away, but you can't deny UT's recruiting is right there with the elites.

Re: UT getting Nashville area recruiting commits
Sometimes kids are UT fans their whole lives (gag) and it's their lifelong dream to play for UT (retch).
I'm surprised about Hunter High from Lipscomb Academy signing with UT. His father used to be the associate athletic director at Lipscomb University. I would have thought he would have been a shoo-in to sign with Lipscomb. Corey Joseph went to Lipscomb and made it big in MLB. He was an exceptional student, so he could have gone anywhere.
Vitello has done a good job recruiting and he's heavily recruiting the Nashville area. I don't know if that's because Corbs doesn't think those players would fit his system, so he didn't recruit them, or if Vitello just out-recruited him for those guys.

Re: UT getting Nashville area recruiting commits
I think Vitello is doing a good job, and is certainly better than the last couple of coaches that UT has had. I certainly wanted to see him leave. The only player from Tennessee that UT signed in 2021 that I wished Vanderbilt signed was Chase Burns.Commodoredave wrote: ↑Tue Sep 14, 2021 9:29 am Don't discount what Vitello is doing over there.

I don't get Baseball America, so I can't see their rankings, but Perfect Game had Vanderbilt ranked #2 - with 18 commitments, 5 in the Top 100 and an average player ranking of 8.33, vs. UT #5 - with 20 players, 2 in the Top 100, and average ranking of 4.95, considerably lower than the top 4 classes, who all had an average of 7.5 or greater. 2021 breaks a streak where Vanderbilt has had the #1 class since 2017, and currently has the #1 class for 2022 (and 2023), with TEN players in the Top 100 for 2022. As long as Corbin is at Vanderbilt, they are like Alabama football for recruiting. Things can change, but UT's 2022 and 2023 classes currently are outside the Top 10 and in the bottom third of the SEC. UT is losing a lot off their 2021 team, so Vitello may be wishing he left as well in a couple of years.

Re: UT getting Nashville area recruiting commits
Uf beat out VU by only 2 ranking points, followed distantly by Ark, UCLA and UT. Interesting that ole Miss St comes in at a very distant 21

Where was NC State on this list? I see in Perfect Game they were ranked 17th, with us #1.
