'10 GA RB Rajaan Bennett

[vol66]

Kentucky fans are gonna lose it over this and I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE it.

Oh well Good luck Bennett, at least he will get a good education while playing his ball!

 

[I4Jay]

that is a great pick up for Vandy

I think old kiffin is going to descover it is hard to get souther boys to go out to fagggley LA

 

[munsterlander]

That's a good move for him...

+1


Good RB, but was always skeptical of the LB idea for us...

 

[UTBuff37]

Good luck in whatever he does. I really wanted this kid and IMO thought he was better than Neal simply because he looks like he's faster (on film) and he has great hands that could've been deadly and was hoping to get him. Not dogging Neal b/c I think he'll be a great back as well but I just saw something diff with Bennett.

 

[Midfielder10]

LOL @ Kentucky.

Hilarious! I just told a KY fan at work today that he should be happy UT got Neal and left KY competing with just Vandy. Lol at Vandy beating out KY for one of their top targets.

Good pickup. It did seem a bit odd that CDD made Bennett a top priority to visit but took Neal's commitment at RB first. It seems likely then Dooley was after him from the beginning as a LB.

 

[Billy Antrim]

I'm happy to have Neal. Good luck to Bennett at Vandy!

 

[codyg10]

This sucks i was really wanting him as a linebacker and i think he would be a great special teams player

 

[Escape Goat]

I think we got the better of the 2, it was a matter of who committed first, and Im glad Neal pulled the trigger. good luck Mr. Bennett.

It's been a long day...There is no link provided in this thread that says he committed to Vandy and other than message boards I haven't found one. I went to Rivals, maybe I'm not ... Anyone have one so we can put this to bed?

 

[UTVolinExile]

Since rex posted the info, I'm guessing it came from TOS. I've been watching Rivals and the Scout ticker and it hasn't shown up there. Maybe it was a premature call? Wouldn't hurt my feelings.

 

[vol66]

ESPN is pretty decent about commits Neal is there for us. On the Vandy commit list, Bennett's not there.

 

[UTVolinExile]

Just curious since we are up late hoping for commitments on a Friday night, who is that in your avatar?

 

[vol66]

Mine?

 

[UTVolinExile]

Yep.

 

[vol66]

It is a pic of Ray Cannon, he played for General Neyland. His son, Bobby Cannon, went on to play at Bama and the recruiting battle with Bear Bryant is still an interesting story. Enjoy!

I am familiar with the Bobby Cannon name, but didn't know his father played for the General. Cool! I love vintage football pics...he looks like a real sparkplug type player in your avatar.

 

[vol66]

Hope ya checked out the story. Just goes to show, recruiting has been a cutthroat game for a really long time.

 

[UTVolinExile]

That was an excellent story. Interesting about the division in his family over where he would go to school!

 

[vol66]

Alrighty, is Bennett committed to Vandy or not?

 

[UTVolinExile]

I'm not seeing it, and I'm guessing there aren't any volquest insiders following this thread at the moment. Still nothing on Rivals or Scout ticker.

 

[vol66]

Windy City Vol in the weekend sticky seemed persistent and I thought maybe ... turns out the inside tennessee (scout) link is really no link at all, but I'm not computer guru guy so...
