Dan Fleser at KnoxNews has been running a series on recruiting.

Yesterday, he talked about the high school graduating class of 2004, which Duke Coach G and others say is the strongest recruiting class ever, with players like Candace Parker and Alexis Hornbuckle.

Today he discusses the Vols' recruiting strategy, and the difficulties they've had the last few years. They didn't really go after players like Alana Beard and Mistie Bass, and they lost recruiting battles for people like Ann Strother, Seimone Augustus, and Brittany Hunter. After losing Kara Lawson and Gwen Jackson, they badly need some new talent.
