'13 FL RB Derrick Henry (Bama commit)

[volroadwarrior]

He will do well at linebacker.

Why take a risk on a school unless you absolutely love it? Me and you both would take that risk, but you can't expect a non biased recruit to feel that way. He is confident in his abilities to become a star at Bama and he is going to practice and play against the best, and win.

If you watched the live stream, he said that he loved all 3 schools, which is something I'm taking out of the equation, because I believe he would have been comfortable at any of the schools.

And I recognize and realize your argument, and it's completely valid, but I can't say that a recruit that had us in his top 3 was non biased. And he is going to have a lot of value if he earns that starting job at Bama in his senior season because they're a factory of 1st rounders right now.

At this point, it's all probably and probably nots, it's just fun to argue and talk about it =p

I will never understand as a player how you can go as a freshman to a team that already has 3-4 "5 star" running backs and already has signed to high 4 stars. Especially when he said that the depth chart meant a lot to him. I know Bama is the best team in the nation, but kids forget there are other places that have pipelines for NFL talent as well.

7 different RBs have had carries for Alabama through 4 games. Henry will get carries as a freshman, and will be starting no later than his junior year.

Didn't want him anyway!

That's what I said about Dooley and we got Him anyway, so this may be a positive!

TW come on out little buddy, it is safe now.


:hi:

 

[Catbone]

Bama? I wish him the worst of luck.

TJ Yeldon was the true Freshman that lead Bama in rushing against Michigan with over 100 yards. I think he has 50 yards in the other games to lead the team in rushing so far.

Tennessee's bi-polar fan base is not helping in recruiting either.

 

[aredfox28]

He will probably redshirt next year and will be in the role Trent Richardson was in 2 years ago. It really comes down to whether he believes he can beat out Tenpenny or not, and he does. He is confident and you need that in a back.

I understand where your coming from, its just frustrating as a fan to see a recruit choose a team who is loaded at his position, when we have a glaring need for him... We need to make these high profile recruits believe in us, and see that we have a major need for them.. come on dooley, get your head outta your ass..

 

[Brave Volunteer]

can't wait to see green in our backfield next year with worely handing off to him and croom and the gang on the outside.

fyp!

 

[Crazy Ivan]

I can't believe I was considering buying Henry a puppy.

He's not a true VFL, if you ask me.

 

[volinbama256]

Funny how Bamma is on top right now, yet Bammerz still waste their time caring about us lowly vols by taking time to post on our site! Pitiful.

....at tight end

 

[CTVolsfan14]

No surprises here, just letting the people know that couldnt follow it on ESPNU.

Derrick basicly summed it up best when he said how both teams have great programs, BUT what alabama has accomplished the last few years has been special.

Derek Dooley needs to win big games, like games this saturday, to land big time recruits.

Derrick Green now becomes Dooleys #1 overall target IMO, a kid we truely and badly need.

We are in the running for other backs in the rivals to 300 and the ESPNU150, but Green must be priority number 1.

GO VOLS // BEAT GEORGIA

Derrick Green has always been the #1 target.

 

[bornbleddinorange]

**** man this is gonna put us back another year. we gotta get green

Yeah, and do you think they are just goin to step aside and let three more in to take more of their snaps?! There is a stopping point.

 

[BigOrangeBaby]

Can't wait to see Green in our backfield next year with Bray handing off to him an CP and the gang on the outside.

YEA RIGHT we will never get a good running back. I saw Green at the FL game and he looked happy, but Henry would have came here if it was not for all the talk about Dooley gettin fired. Maybe next year.

When your selling message to recruits is early playing time, then your program's in trouble.

Better watch it. You're 'affecting' recruiting with posts like this. And the board wussies may put you on the dreaded ignore list.

I am beginning to think the names Derek, Da'Rick or Derrick are just bad luck.

Signed,
