Nice history for Tennessee ... 2 of the 12 five-stars that have signed with us were drafted out of Tennessee by the league (I'm not counting Brown). It is more likely that a 5-star signing with Tennessee will have drug problems than an NFL offer.

Interestingly how its convenient to skip over the why the high school kids are ranked in the first place..

If the top school coaches offers are what the recruiting services are basing their 5 star players, it looks like those like the coaches are guessing too on the potential of these players. Trusting coaches decisions appears no more reliable than the recruiting services.
