It’s National Signing Day, and today we’ll find out how much the solid and frenzied short-term work by Jeremy Pruitt and his staff will actually bear fruit. Tennessee starts the day at No. 20, and there will be a lot of movement among all teams, but we’re hoping that’s the floor for the Vols today and that they might even crack the Top 15, a solid win for a new coach on a short cycle.
