Thigpen and Martinez... oh and kept Graham. Not gonna downvote you for this, but get some facts.
You also need to take into acct that Gus may have started recruiting these kids to Auburn.

I would agree Auburns staff is better than ours. But they also have more in state talent,and had a great class assembled before cheeze it was fired. Dooley left us with a craphole class.

GV2011 - Not only are the facts mentioned in other posts here important but we are in a run of 5 of the last 8 seasons have been losing seasons at UT plus much messier Coaching turnover. How long ago did Auburn win their NC vs. how long since we won ours? Ours was 14 years ago so these HS SR's were 4 years old and since they were 10 we have had 5 of 8 losing seasons.
So, before you go shooting off insinuating this Staff hasn't done well, think about all things that impact their opportunities for success.

I don't agree that their staff is any better or that they have better recruiters yet. Too soon to say. The reason they have an easier time with this class is the fact that Auburn hasn't had 3 losing seasons in a row. Plus a National Championship 3 years ago don't hurt. I think it is an unfair comparison at this point.

Garner and Craig are top 10 recruiters in the Nation. Our staff isn't bad, just not as good as Auburns.

Graham and thig are two of the best. Elder is looking like a damn good one in the making.

I will reserve my down votes, with that being said, man what is your deal?
This coaching staff is currently in the process of pulling of nothing short of a mini miracle. Coach Jones and staff are not only recruiting the lights out but they are laying the foundation for our future. Not to mention they are doing it the right way.
Auburn had a strong class to begin with so what they are doing there is not surprising.
This is a Tennessee board, take your Auburn love somewhere else.
