Top notch, my friend.
 
I forgot how explosive AK is.. I went back and watched his tape again, and was surprised. He looks like he is shot from a cannon.
 
While Simmons admitted that he once thought Kamara was more of an all-purpose back who might “be a great fit in an Oregon-type role —*a slot type of guy,” he said he now views Kamara differently.

“When you see him in person and you see him with the style he runs with and the way he’s put together, I think that removes any doubt that this kid is some sort of a wide receiver in the backfield. I mean, he is a physical kid that has a very downhill mentality when the ball is in his hands,” Simmons said.

“He’s an exciting kid as purely a running back, for sure.”

Simmons said Kamara also is an important addition for the Vols as the most “pure, prototypical running back that they’ll have.”

“I think he’s got a very complete skill set,” Simmons said. “He doesn’t, from just a talent standpoint, have a lot of holes in his game. I think he can be on the field every down. I think he can get north (and) south and get tough yardage. He can catch the ball out of the backfield. Guys like*Jalen Hurd*obviously have more upside than anybody. You kind of are waiting to see how his game is going to project to the college level.

“But when you throw Kamara in the mix, I just think you’re getting a very kind of stabilizing force in that backfield and a guy that can answer any questions that you’ve got, any needs you may have.

We needed Alvin back in 2013, and now we need him more. I'm very happy we got him. He should be a five star.
 
Butch & co. have brought back the good times of being a vol fan. Hard not to be happy with the players, recruits, and coaches. It will translate onto the field eventually.

Almost forgot....BOOM
