'12 GA RB Imani Cross (Nebraska Commit)

[LynxVol]

Yeah I caught that too. I think he was talking to Virginia back in the Summer IIRC.

That is correct. There was a lot of speculation about his commitment at that point.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Yeah, he talked with Virginia, but let's be honest, it was a classy response from Cross. They could've kicked up a fuss.

 

[VolFromNashville]

Best of luck to him. I'm glad he didn't get kicked to the curb at the last minute in February or something.

 

[knoxville's finest]

Im sure theres two sides to this like every story....I remember reading he was wanting to like around months ago, but baggett keep telling him to stay.

So they hired Graham and didn't know what kind of style he preferred? I am going to have to throw the BS flag on that.

Well, yeah. Think of it as the coaches telling him, "It's not you, it's me."

But in reality it really is him.

 

[TMatthews19]

Especially since Cross has a USC jr offer where CJG coached running backs...

 

[UGA insider]

Not to start anything but there was some guys posting on AJC as "UT fans." They also were questioning CDD's decision to let Cross go. They mention that Cross had an offer from USCe as well. The Cross family had nothing but good things to say about UT and CDD, that's the only opinion that really matters.

I think we may be shooting ourselves in the foot by letin cross go cause its no gaurentee we get davis hope we do but I just have a hunch cdd missed out on a special talent. Especially since he was our first committ and was for so long they should of took him and not offered watson since cdd says he wants size. Ut already has a 5'7 180 lb back ikn devrin young I think we will be wishing we still had cross

See Alden Hill...

 

[smokeyman15]

See Alden Hill...

Bingo.

 

[volfrk86]

Y not have two that big

 

[VolFromNashville]

We don't need two that big in this one class. Not with the numbers the way they are. Hill is an EE IIRC so that made the difference between who to keep and who to tell to look around.

Visiting ECU, Nebraska, and Virginia. Will choose between those 3. I'm thinking Virginia.

 

[ORANGE & WHITE]

Cavaliers.

 

[Coach Punk]

I’m shocked that Vanderbilt doesn’t get a visit. Figured he would do well over there.

But it really does look like it’s Virginia, doesn’t it?

Surprised me too. Would've been a slight f u to us as well.

ECU, Nebraska, and Virginia is a wake up call and our staff realized it. Hope he does well.

Virginia is recruiting very well and idk why you included Nebraska as a bad team? Ecu sucks though.

Sorry... I keep thinking Tenn used to be a regular Powerhouse in the Top 10. I keep thinking Nebraska used to be a regular Powerhouse in the Top 10. Now, to figure out where the programs have gone. One left for the Big 10... Classy. The other stayed in the SEC. You let me know if what I said was off base.

ECU and UT had the same record this year. The Huskers and Virginia had much better years. All 3 of them ran the ball better than Tennessee did. I think Cross will be fine with whomever he picks.

 

[005]

lol at you even pointing out ECU and UT having the same records.

 

[UTCVol]

This is like the guy who said that Colorado State was a better job than UT because they got a successful coordinator to accept their job, and Muschamp declined ours.

 

[RikidyBones]

This fan base is retarded.

 

[JAEvans24]

This was not the back to tell to take a hike, imo. Cross is gonna be a player for somebody. I hope Dooley really has something up his sleeve.

He did: a RB with more speed and upside potential.

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..

I can say two words: Devante Borque
