So Moseley runs faster than 4.3-4.4? Don't think so. But go ahead and let this kid go somewhere else and when he starts putting up numbers your going to wish you had him.
Moseley does in fact run faster than 4.3-4.4 and he has much more upside than Hawkins with his 6"1' frame
Moseley is a true sub 4.4 guy.
Hawkins is not. He is a track guy that has run under 11 seconds 3 times in his life, with his record being 10.72 (with a tail wind). That means he is more Devrin Young/Tino Thomas range.
The good news is that we don't have to worry about him beating us, because all 14 SEC coaches agree that he isn't worthy of an SEC scholarship.
I personally am 100% buying into the Hawkins & Rollins hype. I hope Butch Jones & UT's staff put the full-court press on both.
UT has really cashed in big on local, Knoxville HS prospects the last couple of years. Tyler Maples, Blake Garretson, Dustin Lindsey, Lee Smith, Anthony Anderson, Josh Hawkins, Rae Sykes, Dennis Rogan, Daniel Hood, Kyler Kerbyson, Devrin Young, Cody Blanc, George Bullock, Malik Foreman, Josh Smith, and I'm sure I'm forgetting others. That is 15+ STUD prospects out of the Knoxville area just in the last 5-10 years.
Not to mention, Randall Cobb played at Alcoa HS and now plays in the NFL, therefore I'm of the opinion UT should continue to recruit tons of the local players. With that ideology instilled, UT football will reach the top of the college football world very soon. GBO!
Not sure if serious.
Many of those you named if not most have/had no business being SEC football players.
