I just wanna let everyone know that Cross is MUCH higher on UTs RB board than us internet folks think. He is ahead of both Mathers and Robinson.

Cross may make us (who are hypothetically moving him to LB or FB) look like fools.

He camped privately with the staff this week and looked awesome fwiw. We may have gotten a steal here and just don't realize it yet.

Awesome. I think this kid is gonna do quite a bit of damage to the opposition.

Perhaps, but we've been saying this about a lot of recruits the last few years. Hopefully he is though.

So everybody's back on the Cross train that I never jumped off of huh. He's a big physical back that can hit the Bama style LBs in their chest and knock them back. He'll also be great in pass protection with his size and strength. Plus Cross and Marlin Lane in a shotgun two back set for us would be killer. FB screens out of that set would really be hell on a defense. Plus we'll have Rogers, Hunter, and Dallas(yes I think he'll beat out Arnett) in the 3 WR sets to go with that. That's a lot of stress on a defense. Better get ready folks the Vols are coming hard!!!

Everybody? Well I never jumped off so you need to change it to almost everybody and I'm sure that there will be others as well that never jumped off.

I like Robinson too but I don't care too much for Mathers like some on this Board. Give me Cross, Robinson, and Kimbrow I would be good.

Yeah I'd be stoked if we got those 3 you mentioned.

I like Mathers but I'd take Robinson before him.

Think we'll actually take 3 RBs with our limited numbers? Can't see it unless we miss on other needs.

Do we lead for Robinson, I have never heard anyone say if he was a real possibility?

So is the feeling mutual on our part? Is our board 1.) Kimbrow 2.) Cross 3.) Robinson?

Honestly I'm not sure what the board is anymore. lol I've seen several conflicting reports saying that Kimbrow is number 1 on our board, and then other reliable guys have said Kimbrow isn't as much of a priority that many believe. :dunno:

People on here say certain things about Kimbrow. LV knows someone who's seen the board and Kimbrow is really high on it as is Cross. Robinson is a very good back while Kimbrow would need to add weight. Thing with Kimbrow is they say his frame can carry 190-195lbs unlike some other small guys. Also I personally think Kimbrow can play CB. Which really raises his value to me. We'll take those three at RB after we lose T.Williams(he'll transfer) and Poole this upcoming year. Cross is the one that may end up being the best of 3 with his size/speed/power combination. But they could all end up being special players for us if they choose to come play for the Orange.

+1. I really wanna see Cross a Vol. He runs down hill and through people. We need a big punishing back to set up Lane. No wonder Wisconsin is on him. Ron Dayne Jr

Yeah that's right I forgot about that. Good news. And I agree, if Kimbrow doesn't work out at RB he could definitely play some corner. I don't think that will happen but it's good that he has that versatility.

Hopefully he can catch a punt in traffic also.
