Article from March:
North Jersey offensive lineman Savion Herring is back on the market with three years to play two. He’s on pace to graduate from Monroe College (New Rochelle, N.Y.) with an associate’s degree in May. Now, he has his eyes set on his next big challenge – earning his bachelor’s degree while showcasing his talent against stiff competition. Coaches from Penn State, Rutgers, Florida State, Arkansas, Tennessee, BYU, Boise State, Wake Forest, Kansas, UConn, Buffalo and Jackson State have expressed interest and are poised to watch Herring train in May when he graduates.

Until then, Herring will grind. The 6-6, 305-pounder rolls out of bed at 5 a.m. and does push-ups and sit-ups adjacent to his bed. He then brushes his teeth before going outside to jump rope and flip a giant tire up a hill among other activities. He returns home to eat, then do schoolwork and take a nap before heading to the gym, where he bench presses 345 pounds, squats 500 and hang cleans 295. Finally, he drives to Monroe for class before heading back to Irvington High to train more before returning home to Kearny. He also works with his dad in the family construction business.

...“I prefer tackle because I have quick feet for a big guy being that I took kickboxing when I was younger and played basketball,” Herring said. “I feel like tackle is my best position. I can move. That allows me the upper hand on my opponents.”

With the facilities available at UT his training schedule should become more productive. Seems dedication is there, might become something special, hope so.

Ryan Callahan was pretty optimistic about the young man during the 247 pod with Cucker.

Said he was a cincinatti commit in Hs but grades sent him to JUCO.
Didn’t play in 2020 because his JUCO had no season.
Only played 5 games in 2021.
Film came out and teams came calling for him.
Similar build to Carvin. He and Carvin were hanging out together during his OV. Could potentially be Carvins eventual replacement.
Said Juwan Mitchell spoke highly of the program to Herring. They knew each other from HS. Not teammmates but from the same general area.

With this work ethic, lesser-gifted athletes can become dependable veterans with long careers. This is the type of guy that ends up at a place like North Dakota State or Cincinnati then gets drafted.

I think that quote by AP is pretty classless. Even if it turns out to be true, and I hope it does not, he does not have to crap on his commitment on the day he makes his decision.

To be fair to AP, while he did say the kid is just a body on the podcast, the podcast is recorded the day before and it appeared AP nor anyone else knew a commitment was imminent. The just a body statement was not a new statement either, he had shared it previously on VQ.

So...he just spoke his mind. Nothing wrong with that. I'd rather receive honest opinions than pumping shunshine up our behinds just because someone is a UT commit. There's no value in fakeness. That's why I appreciate them and 247. You at least know what you're hearing is genuine.

I always respect anyone speaking their mind. A standard, isn’t it for us all? BUT (yes, I lead off with that after a close off of a sentence). Anyone should let a kid enjoy their moment and period. We can always dissect his commitment after his day.

There’s a way of doing it…and Price has done so countless times. He went a different way with this one. He earned the mild flak for the poor style points.

Fair enough. It depends how it was done. I didn't see it personally. If it was a response to a question, then that's just him doing his job and was said on a private board (fwiw he does not like stuff like that being said in private being blasted onto SM...hopefully for the kid's sake it wasn't).

If on the other hand he tweeted it out for all to see on the day he committed, yeah that's not cool.

Ap said it on the last podcast. I believe it was past halfway mark. Anyone else questioning about how he said it and got an opinion about it without actually hearing The WAY he said it , really had no clue.

For the life of me I couldn't find the snippet from the Thursday mailbag podcast. Maybe the wrong one, but he committed that day.

I did see where he answered in similar fashion 3 days before Savion committed, just answering a question, "Taking a body to take a body if they take him". Saying that...in a private chat...while answering a question, I think is perfectly fine. The real crappy part is if anyone blasted it outside and onto SM. Jmo

He was saying that any juco that’s still available at this point must not be much of a player, and that’s why he made the comment about this kid. I got from his comments that he was generalizing based upon the timing and not necessarily the talent of the kid (bc he didn’t know much about the kid)
