'12 GA RB Imani Cross (Nebraska Commit)

"I'm committed but I'm not closing the door on other schools, if that makes any sense. There are no schools in particular that I'm considering, but I want to have an open mind."

Cross said he hasn't spoken with any coaches in a while, though he does keep up with some through Facebook on a semi-regular basis.

One of the reasons he's not 100-percent with the Vols, it seems, is that he hasn't built a great relationship with the coaching staff in Knoxville. There's no hostility, of course, but he could be closer to the coaches.

"Me and Coach (Terry) Joseph don't talk very much so it's not some close-knit relationship," Cross admitted. "It's just an every once in a while thing where he'll stop in and say 'Hi'. That's the kind of deal it is. I don't have that great relationship with him yet.

Apparently Tennessee knows that Cross isn't totally solid.

"I told Coach (Derek) Dooley about it," he said. "He said he's not surprised because I committed so early. They told me they're going to continue to recruit my position."

Cross said that it will still take a lot for a school to convince him to back out of his commitment to the Vols. His biggest factors are academics, the depth chart and the style of play at each respective school he's considering.

So where does the big running back stand now? "I'd put myself somewhere in the middle of the two, between solid and soft," Cross said with a laugh. "I'm kind of solid but at the same time I'm sticking my head in some other places."

Okay this is getting confusing. He said it would take a lot to sway him away from Knoxville but he doesn't have a great relationship with Joseph... What?????

His quotes couldn't be more vague and obtuse if they had to be...

Pretty much nothing was gained from that article other than it's safe to say he's not completely solid....but I'm not even sure about that

With all his quotes about Tennessee , you would think he has his mind made up. Then again , this is the second time he has decided to "look at other options". Can't wait to read how he is solid to Tennessee again , only to change his mind for a third time. I don't believe anything these kids say anyway. The only thing that matters is what they do on signing day.

So is this the third time? I have a feeling Tennessee has backed off. If we haven't , we should.

he won't see the field if he sticks with us.....we got some great backs now, and there are better ones out there that we can get. i think they got a great chance with Green for next year. Cross will not see the field.

Dooley straight up said if he looks around that is fine but we are going to continue to recruit other RB's...so if he hops off the train he may not be able to hop back on...that is what I am taking from it.

This is why he doesn't want to officially decommit. IMO

Haven't we been hearing how high he is on our board? If that's true, I don't think he's just staying on because he might lose his spot.

Some have said how much Dooley and Co. absolutely love Cross and how high he is on the board...lol... the more time that I spend on here the more I see that about 98% is opinion or a stretch of the truth...

carry on though....

We have, and for us to not have a really good relationship with him? It's just weird.

As it sits right now, barring no additional roster changes, there looks to be 14 spots open for this recruiting cycle. To all the doubters, don't you think the staff should be picky on who it takes??????

This is a very important point that I don't think the masses have realized.
