Um, he is picking Alabama.

So, I wouldn't call this out as a turning point in UT history.

debbie downer's everywhere you look

but to my point, if HE DOES pick UT, this raises our credibility across the board, which = better recruits (incl. perhaps Green too) and restoration to UT's preeiminence.

Tell Trent Richardson that and Mark Ingram. Neither started for 3 years. MI was a backup his first year and TR was a backup for 2 of 3 years. And BTW what someone did at a school in the past under one staff does not always equate what they will do under the current staff. TR and MI played for Saban who is still at UA. Because if that was the case UA had 3 QBs who 2 won NC while at UA but also all 3 won Super Bowls while in the NFL. I not sure how many schools can claim that and it has yet to help have QBs beat down UA's door today. Just saying.

But heck all logic goes out the door in recruiting.:hi:

While Ingram didn't start a game as a Freshman, he ran for 728 yds and 12 TDs. Was a starter and won a Heisman as a Sophomore.

Richardson was a backup his first 2 years at Bama but still ran for 1503 yds and scored 18 TDs during that time.

I totally agree.

I hope that I am wrong...

But UT will get Green and that too will serve the point you are making. And Green is a much higher rated prospect.

Exactly and you make my point. He does not need to go anywhere and start all 3 years to be successful and make it to the NFL. I responded to a poster who said:

Mr. Henry's choice is whether he wants early/often PT so he can get $20mm after 3 years.

At Alabama, his chances of getting enough PT to go out big after 3 years are limited.

Richardson's fully-guaranteed deal is worth $20.5 million over the four years, with a $13.3 signing bonus

Not to bad for a 1 yr starter to get drafted #3 and that contract.:hi:

I realize this is not the Recruiting Board. But, tomorrow is a pivotal day for UT's program, and if it goes well, perhaps more important than the UGA game.

Mr. Henry's choice is whether or not he wants to be sure he'll get early/enough PT so he can get $20mm after 3 years. At Alabama, his chances of getting enough PT to go out big after 3 years are limited.

If I'm Mr. & Mrs. Henry, unless they're independently wealthy, UT is a VERY logical choice for the young man if he's playing for the money (and if, as I assume, he has more brains than DRogers, JJackson and BBrown).

Jamal Lewis came out as a Jr. in 1999, having only played 26 games (injured as So.), and with the 1998 BCS-NC Ring. He was drafted #5 and 2 years later had the 2000 SB Ring. He ran for 10,000+ yards and is #20 all-time in the NFL, including 2,066 in 2003 (2nd all-time), with a 295 yard game (2nd all-time). No Alabama RB has done as well.

If Dooley doesn't win games then he won't be here next yr. I would think the uga game is way more imo than Henry's pick.

One single recruit's decision is never more important than a game against Vandy, let alone the #5 team in the country. This is crazy.

I'm not giving up on beating UGA.
But CDD stays if he beats Miss State and the last 4, which is highly probable. Add a bowl win, and he gets a raise.

Ga game is way more important. If Henry chose UT and we lose our next 4 all against ranked teams the best we finish is 7-5 and i am not sure that saves Dooley's job. Then when we start hiring a new guy who knows who we keep or get, depending on the hire. Plus getting Green would be bigger than Henry. Green is a more pure RB.

I guess I agree and hope he stays. I didn't think you gave up on the game though buddy. I just think he needs to win this game or the usc Jr game or games in general than this one recruit. I think green is more imp recruit than Henry.
