'12 GA RB Imani Cross (Nebraska Commit)

[tombomcfaren]

yes the plot thickens.

 

[eazyTD]

Right move by UT IMO...the more I watched this year the less I liked him at RB.

Who do you think has a bigger up side, Cross or Hill?

Thanks

 

[VolFromNashville]

Hmm Davis decommits from UF on the same night :question:

 

[LawsonVFL]

OCI, what makes them want to keep Hill instead of this kid?

My guess is that he'll be on campus in 5 weeks.

 

[UTvols#1]

I really wanted cross.Can anyone say something good that makes me feel better about losing him.Please cause all we got is lane and hill and lane will be injury prone.Thought cross was a bruiser..Is there a physical or ability that he lacks in that would be a good reason not to take him..

Okay..But you've been pumping this kid up all year. What gives specifically.

Hill's an EE. There isn't too much of a dIfference between the two. Hill is faster though.

 

[TheMayja]

All people have done all year is b*tch about how slow Poole is. Hate to break it to you guys but he's faster than Cross. Not sure why people are upset about this one.

 

[Blake25p]

So was Fugate. He's best suited for FB. Athletic enough to get carries in short yardage situations but he won't be legitimately in the mix at HB for UT.

But everyone knew Fugate was going to be a FB, now Hill may end up at FB but he'll start out at HB.

Cause Blanc still has an offer...

In his defense, Cross doesnt tip-toe and dance around like Poole. If Poole wouldve lowered his head and ran like a back his size should, he wouldve been much more effective.

If Blanc was going to play RB, or Cross was going to be playing S, this would make sense.

 

[justingroves]

Harsh.

Harsh would be letting him spend a year on campus then telling him to GTFO.

Is Blanc being recruited as a RB?

And he runs through contact

who the hell knows what the staff is recruiting him as, I've heard safety, linebacker, ST contributor. You tell me.

 

[TheMayja]

Poole ran through contact when he was in high school too. So what?

 

[GahLee]

Of course not but he is still taking a spot...

They think he can get to 230-240 in a couple years. It's about future projection with him. Don't follow suit with the dolts on this board who think he's a hopeless prospect.

 

[OCIVol]

This is how the numbers work out. By the way, Hill and Cross are the same player, but Hill is an EE.

You're nuts, that kid is not putting on 50 pounds.

I'm not, ive seen his film, he's talented, i just didnt know where they wanted him.

I heard RB Coach.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

"I am just weighing in all options now," Cross told InsideTennessee.com. "No schools in particular."

Cross had a highly-productive senior season at North Hall High School. Fans that followed his year were looking forward to seeing him in Knoxville. For those people, Cross had this to say: "Thanks. And sorry, things just didn't work out with (Tennessee)."

I have to think that Dooley has this all figured out and I can guarantee that they wouldn't tell him to look elsewhere if they didn't have something set in stone
