I hope your right also. Elam could come in and contribute right away and be a very special player.

:lolabove: Some honesty on the board finally!!! I really hope Elam comes to play for the Big Orange, we need depth in the worst way possible. And he could be a stud

Yeah, give him a chance to be wrong.

Everyone else on here has been at one time.

Agreed. At least wait till he's proven wrong before you call him out.

I hope he's right!:good!:

Don't encourage this guy :whistling:

Did Steve tell you that per chance....Steeeve!

 

[lylsmorr]

not particularly saying we only take one... but if one commits, would the other still want to come?

I would think so, we preach competition. The secondary positions should be all up for grabs next year

 

[ITSGR82BATNVOL]

Im just sharing what I know...Take it as you will.

If true, you need to learn the meaning of silent, and not broadcast it to the world on a message board.

 

[Glutton]

ehh, we have tons of safety talent though.

ehh, we have tons of safety talent though.

If somehow we would land Riley and Elam, either Janzen would be moved to CB and/or Elam would be moved to LB. We will get our best players on the field...

 

[Glutton]

siiilllleeenttt. i just don't get it.

 

[bburger991]

If we get Riley/Elam, I see something like

Riley/Oliver? FS
Elam/Myles SS

Jackson/Edwards/Gordon/Meline CB

Of just the Kiffin recruiting classes. Looks decent enough to me

 

[Glutton]

I see both playing safety... Elam more of the hybrid S/LB that berry plays.

 

[lylsmorr]

siiilllleeenttt. i just don't get it.

So what part about commitment is silent for a silent commitment? The C??

Thank you, Thank you very much :hi:

 

[PressVol]

all im saying is why post a rumor if you don't know if its true?

 

[TheMayja]

I've seen all the "next Eric Berry" talk, but I just don't see how this kid stays at safety. He's going to have 8 months of a college strength program before his freshman year and he's already a big boy. From the looks of things, he may just flat-out outgrown the position.

The question is, do we really want to take a potential star out of position if we bring in suitable linebackers?? He knows the safety position very well apparently, why change a good thing? He could be dominant

 

[bwilli40]

He could be a tyler mays type. But better. If he bulks up he will have the talent of Berry and the beast like physicality of mays.

My friend who is a GA fan has a friend that is in close with many TN boosters. My friend, Steve, claims everything this guy has said before has come true. Supposedly he has gotten word that Matt Elam is now a silent commit to us after this weekend. Anyone else heard this?

So just to be clear, the OP heard from his friend Steve who has another friend who heard from from boosters that Elam is a silent commit.

Put it in the freakin' bank, then. Stone cold, 5-star lock that this is true. No doubt.

Chain of rumor:

Bradstar Vols ---> "Steve" ---> Steve's very reliable friend ---> UT boosters ---> Elam(?)

Ironically we are only losing 1 player out of our secondary after this year (Berry). I think Elam may get looked at as LB even if we don't get Riley. Depends largely on how much weight he can put on, IMO.
