First off, Tom, you don't have to justify yourself on here. Time will weed out the idiots pretty clearly. Like your current attackers.

Second, I think I know the CV surgeon you are talking about that works at UT med center. Worked closely with the EPs over there in the past.

Back to Khalid. Needs a year to gain weight for SEC imo. I understand his speed is key for the pursuit of the ball but he hasn't been pursued from any other SEC schools that I am aware of. No reason to believe he will have some breakout freshmen campaign, stop hyping up players. He can be a very good player for us after a RS.

This. But it's hard to deny anyone with true athleticism playing time from the get go at any level because who knows you might just end up with one of these gems..

There goes Bam trying to run off someone else. Just ignore the guy. Time to be the bigger man.

I believe Henderson didn't play exclusively at LB in the past. I may be wrong, but he is playing on LB on defense this year. That is a big reason he wasn't pursued hard in the beginning.
He would definitely contribute while here. To think that Dooley and staff would accept a guy who wouldn't make the team better is idiotic.

Jmoore.. do we leave the door open on this one perhaps .. I.e. if he isn't 100% vol then move on to more talent.. or do we fight for this one?

I remember back in this thread and others where people were bashing the coaches, and their reasoning was, "Every coach knows about these "hidden" players that do not get much recognition." Well, apparently some SEC teams didn't as Henderson is gaining interest from UGA and Ole Miss. Let the coaches recruit.

IMO we will keep him. The staff wouldnt have took his commitment over the summer right after he performed at our camp if they didnt think he was an SEC caliber OLB. B/c at the time we took his commitment we still had "higher" (as most of us on VN thought were higher) targets on the board.

Thanks, great answer. I think Khalid says thanks but no thanks to UGA and Ole Miss.

This guy is turning out to be just like Christian Harris last year.

Exactly, Clemson came hard after him down the stretch last year.

Harris will surprise quite a few of the guys on here. He's a really good player. Hits well and plays very technical. And Harris is a good athlete with good instincts. He'll compliment Johnson and Maggitt well.

That's generally the case with 3 star or below talent. So may come in and make an immediate contribution, but rarely. Next year is more of a case of utilizing juniors, sophmores, JUCO's, and some redshirt freshman. Some of the higher ranked guys coming in as freshmen maybe used to spell some guys, but that's about it. Still, I'm expecting a better season with a more favorable schedule.

Much better schedule. Need to win 8+ to win over recruits
