'10 TN RB Josh Tate

[vols_dat_team]

Ht:5'10"
Wt:178 lbs
40:4.5 secs
Class:2010 (High School)

This is a fallback option. Probably behind Orleans to be honest even though I believe Josh is better having seen them both play many times. Josh is very underrated due to past injuries and his coaches playing him at LB out of necessity instead of RB where Brentwood Academy is loaded. His Rivals numbers are not accurate. He is about 5'11. He weighs around 180 and his 4.5 40 time was recorded his freshman year. He now runs around a low 4.4. Many schools have been visiting him lately supposedly. Navy, MTSU, Auburn, Kentucky, and Georgia Tech are close to offering with many others just wanting some film. His film is very impressive and as soon as it hits YouTube I will post a link. He said he has only spoken to Tennessee once and visited unofficially. Watch for him to be a fallback if we don't land a big name.

No relation to Golden or Wesley.

Keith McBride will be the best RB out of this class from TN when its all said and done.

Referring to Golden (ND/draft pick) and Wesley (Vandy). Is this dude related to the Pope John Paul II brotherly duo?

He might be. Top 3

1)Orleans
2a)Tate
2b)McBride
3) Keon

 

[GoVols2003]

Army wants both McBride and Orleans. That would one heck of a combo in their system

 

[vols_dat_team]

Indeed it would. Orleans will probably find a better place to play than Army.

 

[GoVols2003]

I think they both will.

 

[vols_dat_team]

Tate is much stronger than Orleans.

 

[Midfielder10]

Talked to Orleans last night. likes clemson and UT, Vol if we offer.

 

[GoVols2003]

So is McBride. Kid is a brick house. No to mention he won the State 200m last year and finished top 3 in the 100m. Dude can motor. Stats are down because of 2 random injuries and bc he is in a backfield with 2 other D1 kids.

 

[vols_dat_team]

Yeah he visited Clemson. Maybe he can help us with Big Tiny. Talked to an Ensworth player I'm good friends with recently and he said Richardson really likes Alabama....

sounds like a good player.

Same thing Orleans told me last night. Said Richardson was ecstatic when he got a Bama offer and he's never really pulled for UT and thinks Kiffin is a joke.

only picture I could find of him right now...

Yeah my friend said he thought Richardson would end up at Bama.

 

[Midfielder10]

Anything can happen when our staff has 2 years to recruit a player though

 

[vols_dat_team]

I agree. Although, Antonio isn't the only recruit to think this about Kiffin. I spoke to a highly touted Pahokee recruit from this class that we offered over the phone and text multiple times. He thought Kiffin was childish. That he talked too much and a real man lets his actions do the talking. To be honest, it sounded rehearsed. Like an opposing coach had told him or a Pahokee coach...

Having played against all three of these RB's in question, I'm going to say that McBride is the best college prospect. Then Orleans, but I do not think Orleans will be successful at UT (if we even offer). Tate is the worst of the three. Also, I would like to see what Orleans can do when his talent level on his offensive line (Richardson, a D1 prospect, Keenan Thompson, D1 prospect, and Cooper, Clemson commit) are not there to dominate their opponents so easily and provide great holes the majority of the time to run through... So if we offer any RB from TN I hope it is McBride.

I think its a shame that McBride's teammate, Martin, the MLB is getting no attention. That kid, while undersized, was a monster the last 2 years. I assume you played against him too?

 

[FredWhite2]

Yeah, Harrison Martin I think is his name. He has a real nose for the ball, but doesn't have the speed or size to be a legit D1 prospect, that's probably why no one has looked hard at him, but yes he was a very solid high school player.

you sure its their not cousins? LMAO

 

[MrBamSeydu]

We will not take any RB in TN.

I think some of the service academies are on him.
