Yep and with our O-Line, this dude could really do some damage here.

And eveyone in BOC says..., Amen. :dance2:

I have a feeling that whoever runs for us this year will do well. Jay Graham is an excellent RB coach. He'll get the most out of our RBs. All the more reason though that I hope it is Green.

I follow derrick on Twitter and I still have pics of when we painted the rock.just for him and I remember how much he liked it. Was thinking of tweeting that pic to him in the next few days to remind him how much we want him. Good or bad idea?

Don't think it would hurt any. Seems innocent enough. Just might help.

I can't see how is would hurt... unless his name was misspelled.

Violation of some type? Only thing I'm worried about. But as much as everyone tweets these kids I don't see how it could be.

I don't think it would be. If it is was, what would stop Auburn and Michigan fans from posing as UT fans and sending him pics of his name on the rock? I think it would be a cool gesture and wouldn't hurt anything.

I'm thinking it would have the best effect on Friday. Now what message should I send with it? I'm thinking " just a little reminder of how much you mean to our fanbase! #VFL #team117 #GBO"

technically it is a violation. Not the best idea IMO

Again, how can you put control parameters around who sends those types of pics?

If you punished schools for this, you would have rival fans across the board pulling stunts to get the school they are competing with in trouble.

Also, has there even been a 'twitter' incident that caused an NCAA investigation?

I'm not, the NCAA is. I'm just letting you know their stand. I personally see no reason to tweet recruits and take the risk (or be creepy). Guess others disagree

Didn't say you could. You know what I was inferring. And way to not answer the question and waste everyone's time with your reply.

Creepy is stalking a 17-18 year old and sending horrible messages if he makes a choice a fan doesn't like. Sending a picture of someone's name on a rock is far from creepy. Only someone with a stick up their backside would think otherwise.

wrong. Fans, boosters, alumni, etc should not be contacting recruits. The picture is not the issue.

do they police it? No, but I would hate to be the first case

no, he got in trouble for sending pictures he created for them. Completely different right?

Well seeing as most of these kids love the attention and want followers I think its ok. They want people showing them love or they wouldn't have public Twitter accounts and wouldn't retweet fans.

again theres no way to prove somebody is a fan. a rival fan could tweet a player pretending to be a vol to get us violated. if it were a problem we could tweet every recruit who commited somewhere else pretending to be that teams fan so we violate every team in the nation

Just tossing this out there. It was rumored for a while that both Green and Henry were told they could be the only back taken in this class by the old staff. Green seemed to like that idea. Could CBJ be trying to take more than 1 and it would push Green elsewhere? Did AU cut loose Wilkins so they could present the same deal to Green of being the only HS back they take?

I doubt that would be the case. Green does want to be the headliner, but Michigan already has a back committed, where Ut does not have one at all. I think CBJ wants 2 backs for depth reasons. D. Green will obviously be given first dibs on reps and the other back will be given a chance for some as well. With there only be 3 backs of consequence 2 juniors and a senior on the roster, Tennessee needs to take 2 backs this class. And if Green truly feels confident in his ability he should know that no other freshman will take his reps. It should also be noted that all three of Neal, Young, and Lane have dealt with injuries. So any new back will have a great opportunity.
