Bagman snide remarks aside, what does Tennessee have to offer?

A class of Jarrett, Scott and Smith-Njigba is just silly...but is looking more and more like a reality. In a perfect world they add Julian Fleming to that list. See Mike Drennen as more of an APB.

You know what? Chicken butt.
Man, Fleming is either the ultimate troll recruit or he is seeming like a legit possibility.
Can’t even imagine adding those two with the two other studs we have. That would simply be unreal.

THE STORYLINE
Rakim Jarrett is a five-star receiver and the second-best player at his position. Mekhail Sherman is a five-star outside linebacker at the second-best player at his position.
Both play at powerhouse Washington (D.C.) St. John’s College High. So the question becomes will Jarrett and Sherman be a package deal in college and does Ohio State have the best shot at landing the two elite prospects in the 2020 class.
When it comes to Sherman, who trails only Upland, Calif., standout Justin Flowe in the outside linebacker rankings, it seems like the Buckeyes are right there with Georgia. Those two programs have emerged early and it could be a two-team battle to the end although others are in the mix.
Jarrett’s recruitment is a little more unclear. Trailing only Catawissa (Pa.) Southern Columbia recruit Julian Fleming in the receiver rankings, Ohio State has always been a top school for the five-star standout from Washington, D.C., but a massive Southeast tour could have muddied the waters. Clemson is in it. So is Tennessee and many other SEC programs.
Sherman and Jarrett are both five-star prospects who play at the same school. Are they a package deal or will the two superstars do their own thing when it comes to the recruiting process?

FIRST TAKE: ADAM FRIEDMAN, MID-ATLANTIC RECRUITING ANALYST
“They’re not a package deal at all. The only school both of them could end up at is probably Ohio State. Ohio State is running second behind Georgia for Sherman and they’re not giving up at all. With Jarrett, his situation is a little bit more fluid. Tennessee has some momentum, Clemson has some momentum, Ohio State is always there. That one is still a little bit more up in the air.
“They’re not a package deal because they’re probably going to do their own thing. They’re not going to go to a specific school because the other one is going there, that’s not their mindset.”
SECOND TAKE: MIKE FARRELL, NATIONAL RECRUITING DIRECTOR
“I don’t think they’re a package deal. Jarrett likes Ohio State and always has. He’s taking a big tour in the Southeast so he’s aggressively looking at other schools and he wants to make an early decision. Sherman is a little quieter, harder to read. I projected Ohio State for him as well but I don’t think it’s as much as a lead as they have for Jarrett.
“It wouldn’t surprise me at all if they ended up at different places. The last time Ohio State went into Maryland and got a package deal, a guy named Dwayne Haskins was involved, so they can recruit at the highest level. They will get one of them at least, I’m pretty sure.”
