This kid is going to be a star.

Maybe my 2nd favorite recruit. That could change tomorrow though.

This guy is quickly becoming the player I'm pulling for most from this years class. Love the determination and initiative he showed to earn his shot with a major program. During the quick interview they did of him and Hurd on ESPNU, he teared up a bit when Edwards talked about how his hard work to get here was finally paying off. That kind of passion and drive can only serve this guy well in life.

How can you seriously not love this guy! His story is fantastic! LOL @ him saying Coach "Tigpen"

He'll be that guy when Tennessee is playing on TV that the sports analysts talk about along with his story about the road he took to get to where he is!

:yes: :salute:

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

He also said Florida was on his hit list for not responding to his emails. I love guys with something to prove.

Now that's what I'm talking about. Have a feeling that a lot of teams will wish JJ was on their team. :yes:

especially the seminoles had the chance...but...if you show no interest in a guy, he´ll join a team which shows real interest. that´s what happend to jj in tennessee...he felt welcome...kind of home feeling.

this is an underestimated factor, particulary for a european kid...don´t have to tell them how good the program is (every program in the us is so much better than over here)....tell them that they are welcome in the program :good!:

Germany is definitely a untapped football market. I bet Butch will keep making calls to Germany.

This actually isn't the first time he's gotten a German kid, or so I've heard.

Is it just me or does Johnson look bigger every time I see him? He must be attacking the chow line as intense as he does the workouts. O&W game is going to be interesting.

CBJ said a few days ago that the EE's have gained an average of 15 lbs. already. Payne is up from 169 to 180. Pretty good for just a few weeks.

Yah-kub. Not yoke like like an egg (yolk).

 

[Ez_Vol]

Don't like this comparison but I believe JJ will be to Tennessee what Patrick Willis was with Ole Miss. Sometimes, you have to give these guys a chance in your own state.

We're gonna try this new guy. His name is Jacob or Yakob... It might be a soft J. But apparently he just destroys his opponents for an extended period of time... for fun.

So we have a real business man as our coach. It's exactly what any smart coach should do. I'd make contacts in Canada also. We can find great things in places where people don't look.

After spending time all over Europe, We need to look in the Netherlands. On average they have the biggest guys anywhere. I'm pretty sure it's due to drinking milk and eating cheese all day long. I'm 6' 235 and in a group pic with about 20 of my Dutch colleagues, I was by far the smallest guy in the pic.

That reminds me- Vandy's new coach's is actually pronounced "Erek" Mason...I heard the D was always soft.

Yeah, I am 6'3" 225 and I was absolutely normal size there. I work for Delta and have been to almost everywhere and that was the only place I have been where I was just the normal size. My wife is 6' and she was about the same height as all the Dutch girls too.
