'13 VA RB Derrick Green (Michigan commit)

[Coach Punk]

Well, Auburn it is.

Amirite? Amirite?

 

[mmajaz12]

I feel we have a good chance with Green.
It'll be amazing if we could land 3 out of Green, Bell, Lawson, Bellamy, North.

 

[BornToBleedOrange]

All 5 would be even cooler...stranger things have happened. k:

Indeed brother !!! It IS a possibility.
It'll mean an instant upgrade in terms of talent for UT.

Dynasty!!!!!

Could this year look like Yahoo Sports: Rivals.com 2002 Team Recruiting Rankings ?

 

[VolFromNashville]

Let's not get ahead of ourselves...but I wish. Best part of that list is that Bama is 30th.

Yeh I'm just being retard. It'd take a hell of a reshuffle to come close to that list.

 

[VolNilla Ice]

Man that 02 class was sumn'...the 2&3 stars were really good players and though there were a few busts, it was best top.to bottom in a long time! Here's hoping this year jumps up close and next year the "legacy class" is even more epic

Did you count how many busts were in that class? This is a perfect example of star ranking fail.

That's all hindsight. There's so many variables that went into that disastrous waste. If we could get a class of that calibre athlete every year we'd do fine.

True. But that class was a total bust.

I wouldn't mind having another Wilhoit though, that's something we've been lacking since, well, since Wilhoit.

 

[Ericvol2096]

I like the fact that we were in the home longest of anyone...I know I am grasping at straw's here, but that has to be worth something. Right?

 

[SigNu_VolFan]

I'm still holding on to the fact that Green was ready to announce for Tennessee and be an EE while Dooley was still here. With our new staff putting in as much work as they have, landing Green is a big possibility, IMO.

I also think with Green not having a decision made yet, a family decision may be made tonight or tomorrow night that settles that Green has always been a great fit for Tennessee.

I'm still confident here.

Hope your right. Would be a huge piece to the puzzle to get us back to where we need to be in the run game.

Am I missing a RB recruit that we are in on now with kemp out.


Barber, green, and ford


We all seem to feel we are taking 2.

Getting 2 of those is going to be a stretch IMO

I am curious to see if A. Turner ends up visiting us late. I think he would pick UT pretty quickly given the chance. If we miss on another RB, I would not be surprised to hear he is visiting before NSD.

Is the EE part fact, or just your speculation? I had not heard that before

Agreed, if green picks Michigan and barber stays with OM, turner will be our first call

 

[namasteVOLfans]

if we get 1 of green, barber, ford ill be happy.

 

[AV_12]

I think was Auburn before the coaching change. I don't think Dools had him locked up. Jmo

+1

We need at least 1 of those 3. If we get just 1, I would look for a couple late RB visits to pop up from a Turner, Dayes, or similar RB. Ideally we take at least 2 in this class.

 

[Ericvol2096]

Landing Green would be a HUGE shot in the arm, but our class is not ruined if we don't get him.

I just really want to get a headline recruit to jump on board to start some momentum.

I think there are a lot of guys thinking about TN but no one wants to be the first big time player to dive in.
