UT obviously...how long ago was he offered?
Not sure what school you're talking about?
Mathers has been offered by Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Cincinatti, Duke, Memphis, Michigan, Minnesota, Virginia, Arkansas State, and Middle Tennessee.
We already have Cross, and will snap take Kimbrow, so Mathers isn't coming here, in my opinion. There are a ton of out of state RBs who are also high on us.
Mathers is more of an every down kind of back though, and Kimbrow just isn't. Kimbrow maybe fast, but I don't think he projects as a RB in the SEC. He maybe a situational type back, as is Young, but Dooley wants the punishers with speed carrying the load. Kimbrow is a tweener, just like Young is. He maybe a few inches taller, and a few pounds heavier, but they are closer to the same player than most people think.

I agree with Cross already committed, I see us taking three "RB" in this class with Kimbrow as a returner primarily and sitution running back and possible WR in some packages IMO. Now IMO I would like to see Mathers as the other RB taken in this class as I have see both Live and tapes of his playing and looks like the real deal, he is talked about pretty heavily around the Middle TN area.
Kimbrow will be a RB for the Vols.
take kimbrow and cross and call it a day at RB.... too many other needs to take a third RB imo.
I would bet we don't take 3 RBs, but I've been wrong before.
KB is a (Off) pkg and ST player, not an every dn SEC RB, no way he stands the grind and punishment week in-week out. KB = Ath IMO
Tennessee takes 2 RB's---IC & hopefully one of these...DH, KM, IM, RS, or T.J.Y, listed alphabetically not by rating. All big (200-220) backs w/ breakaway speed (4.4 -4.5).
Would like to add J Gray (TX, TX A&M, & TT) and B Sanders (UA or OSU) to the list, unfortunately, Tennessee is out of it. IMO.
