'12 TN RB Jovon Robinson

"I am planning to take a lot of visits this summer because I have not been able to see many schools yet. I am going to get to Tennessee, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi State, Florida State, and Alabama. I may try to see a few more, but those are the ones for sure I plan to visit."

As of now, all schools are still in the race for one of the top prospects in the state of Tennessee and that may stay the same through February.

"I really do not know when I will make a list of schools," he said. "I have not come close to identifying a top school or anything yet. I know I am not going to commit or anything until Signing Day though, so I may just stay open until then. I just want to take things slow."

If we could pull Robinson with Cross that would be crazy. I could see Kimbrow at CB too. He's good enough to play it and be a Cliff Harris style of CB/return guy(Not saying he's as good as Harris). A backfield of Lane, Neal, Tom Smith, Cross, and Robinson is championship type of talent. In that backfield either you will get your game up or hit the pine. That would be a very punishing ground game behind this young talented O-line. Robinson would be a much better fit in a pro style system IMO.

Robinson looks like he's on another level compared to Cross. JMO.

My guess would be the staff looked at Cross, Robinson and several other backs and said they needed at least 1 big back in this class and with them taking the commitment from Cross...felt all the backs were comparable and said 1st one to commit gets the spot. I get a feeling we will see this more and more with CDD. He said it last NSD that he does not like waiting till the last minute. I think this staff is going to push to have the class done sooner rather than wait and hope.

when did he say this?

Because I remember him saying he rather know a player is fully committed than have an early verbal commit and have to fight for him thru out the year

our 1 commitment wouldn't indicate that either. lowest commit total in the SEC along with Vandy. kids are still hesitating with UT early in the process.. we need a solid year on the field to help turn the adverse trend.

He's a better back. He's more explosive and that's what separates the two to me. Robinson runs with a chip on his shoulder too. He's extremely aggressive with the ball. He just attacks the defense. I'd like to see him following a fullback through the hole. If we were to get Robinson that would be huge for our RB corp.

i do think Robinson may be the better back (I think he is), but Cross just got back from tearing his achilles last year. he may look like a different player this season.

I agree with everything you said. Robinson is really something special IMO.

Any indication the staff may still pursue the trio of Cross, Robinson and Kimbrow and take all three? Baggett is working on Robinson right?

+1

Plus Cross plays in an offense that runs the ball 95% of the time and the defense knows it is coming. And he shares the load with two other RB's

Hopefully he looks faster and quicker......I think Robinson could be potentially a super star.

Agreed. I would prefer Robinson over Cross, with no disrespect to Cross intended.

I think that TN could land Robinson as well. I actually think that you could easily sell a Kimbrow/Robinson/Redmond package to the three and they would listen to it.

Something tells me that if Cross starts to blow up this fall, he could be hard to hang on too.

Do you think they are all being recruited to play RB?

If we do, it will be considerably crowded at the running back position. So that is why I think they will only take two, Imani and Brian Kimbrow.

After seeing, Mathers, Cross, Robinson, and Kimbrow! I like all of the backs in TN, But you have to ask your self with the TN backs do they look good because of inferior talent.We all know that Cross has faced D1 talent. With that being said I would take all the TN talent this is the best year for us in Talent!

When I watch guys playing bad talent I watch to see exactly if they are dominating like a big time player should. Robinson's game translates well to the SEC and the pro style offense.

Yep, and I say we take all four. I dont think all the RB's from this year will play RB exclusively.
