'12 TN RB Jovon Robinson

[UTMVol76]

That'll be an interesting test for the coaching staff, to see what we can hold in-state. Know we've been over that conversation a million times, and that we're a difficult state to hold talent due to geography, but I'd love to fence in our best talent, and shoot the bird to the rest of the SEC.

Jovon had 243 rushing yards and scored 3 TD's against Arlington in the first round playoff game. Next Wooddale plays Whitehaven which will be a test.

Jaylen Walton (Ridgeway) ran 33 times for 215 yards and scored 2 TD's against Brian Kimbrow's Memphis East. Ridgeway Roadrunners play Hardin Co. next week.

Right now, I hope robinson and mathers turn out good, but kimbrow is the must get next year. Period.

[DocVOLiday]

He is now a three star on scout for those who care. Offers listed from Bama, Memphis, Ole Miss and Miss St.

I hope we look at this kid closely for next year if we need an instate player or solid back after we hopefully take a highly rated back.

Kids a stud. I played against him last year and he has a really thick lower base and is really quick for his size (great at cutting back). I really hope we get him

blur how many do you see us persuing?tia

 

[Montrell Hardy]

So is the TN talent in 2012 going to be deeper than the 2011 class?

No. The 11 class was definitely deeper overall. There are 4,5, maybe 6 really good ones in the '12 class...after that then a pretty sizeable dropoff IMO.

 

[chavisut]

At least 3 backs in state who will play in the SEC IMO

 

[vol_fan89]

I think the top 5 or so in the '12 class will be better. ( minus any linemen) I do agree that there is a drop off after that.

 

[chavisut]

I don't see this drop off if you compare that tentative top 25 to this year's top 25.

There has to be at least 2 OL from MUS in the 25 eh? They should have at 2-3 that are BCS conference level.

Are you aware of the rumors Robinson transferring from Wooddale? Care to check that out for us?

 

[orangeblur]

Interesting, sounds like the UGA coaches agree with you. Dawgs offered Robinson today, still haven't offered the instate Cross. :huh:

 

[chavisut]

He's a beast.

 

[volsfan_17]

After hearing Cross' interview earlier this week, I'm really glad his going to wear Orange next season.

That being said - Robinson seems to have a little more excerlation, top end speed, and a lot more elusiveness.

I know Kimbrow probably will be the speed back we go after, but I'd love to have Robinson as well. Good looking player.
