🏈 Tennessee taking credit for developing Bama and FSU defensive backs and Ronnie doesn't care for it, at all.

Good God this is sad. Yes, I get the school itself doesn't exactly have a ton of recent success to hang their hats on and Pruitt should certainly big up his success, but yikes. It seems like weekly their social media is posting Alabama and FSU players on a Tennessee page. It was fine and all but I would think seeing pictures like that would make a recruit go, "So, I should go to Alabama or FSU?"
 
I think most are looking past the fact that these guys are just now going into their fourth or fifth year this Fall and have already graduated. This is not the entire graduating class, it's just the early graduates that get to wear the graduate patch this Fall.

And the multi-colored ribbon is for his fraternity, @bradenob .
 
But adding grad patch is cool.....recognition of an accomplishment..
Better than Winners of life or some bullshit...
Wonder if they will keep their "turnover trash can"
I am kinda interested to see home the vols do this year...
Highly rated WVU.....Bama...UGA...Fl...Missouri...AU.....USCe....
Could be a rough fall.... hopefully another losing season

It is the entire football spring graduating class of four. Bama, on the other hand, had 22 graduate this spring (past and present.)

The interesting thing to me is Pruitt and staff are doing the same thing Saban did when he arrived in Tuscaloosa. Saban, if you'll recall, used the players he recruited at LSU who made it to the NFL as one of his "recruiting pitches." There is a HUGE difference though. Saban recruited, coached, and developed a lot of those guys. How many has Pruitt recruited? Or coached? Hell, we've got guys like Mink on that list where Pruitt didn't recruit or coach (remember, he was ILB coach here.)

And then we've got the FSU players...

I get it despite it being a load of crap.

That's my main issue and what guys like Ronnie Harrison seem to be taking issue with. Then, you have Tennessee sheep on there defending it by saying Pruitt was a DB coach and DC at Bama, so its technically not a lie. Despite the fact that Pruitt was DB coach for very few of those coaches. I saw one nimrod actually claim that if Pruitt doesn't get credit for developing Minkah or Ronnie then Saban shouldn't either. Good grief.

Pretty sure all SEC schools do the grad patch for graduate students.

Gotcha. I assumed with them mentioning the patch that they meant early graduates coming back.
