'15 LA RB Kendall Bussey (Former UT commit)

[JamesBenUT]

Is it Bus-see or Byou-see?

Callahan said it was "Bus-see"

 

[SigNu_VolFan]

Another case of the recruit loving Tennessee, the parent pushing elsewhere.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Wait... Doolander DECLINED Abdulah?

Like a needed another reason to loathe and despise that fool.

Yep, came in for a visit, Dooley didn't think he was RB material. You know, we were always crushed with Recruits on NSD, especially all those RB studs he brought in

Or the parent saving face in public to not harm the relationship he has with the Nebraska coach

Good point. That goes along with Papa Bussey telling the Huskers to find other RB's.

Regarding the Ameer Abdullah situation with Dooley and staff, I have pulled up a little info, for those who weren't tuned it at the time.

A very good poster who worked with athletes down south, JimmyD... who of course got called out for no reason and run off of here said...

He wants to play rb but the Tenn staff wants him as cb. He hopes this help changes their mind. If they tell him he can play rb he will commit.

Volunteerlane: (He was from AL, so TN was closest)

Final 4: West Virgina, Louisville, Tennessee, South Carolina.

He says he would prefer to stay close to home.

Volunteerlane:

He wants to be a RB and would commit if his offer was just that. But his offer is for DB so he is still looking

orangeblur:

Sure he can...but not at Tennessee....the kid can play he is big time....however as his recruitment has indicated with Tennessee, they are not looking for him to make plays with the ball in his hand offensively or on special teams....

Career stats at Nebraska... to date...

735 carries 4,227 yards, 37 TD 5.75 YPC.

Thanks Dooley. :hi:

And VN: He's not better than Devrin Young. BB only likes him because he's from Alabama.

Griddie is going to be chewing on some of those sour grapes too, with all these stud RB's coming out of NC

I love it when a Tennessee offer changes everything. Those are the players I want.

"At first, I had offers from other schools, but then I Vols."

A Tennessee offer "changed everything" during Derek Dooley's tenure as well. Mainly bc we were consistently offering players that had offers from colleges like Georgia Southern, Tulsa, Temple, and App. State. We won quite a few recruiting battles against those folks.

Sad, but true. At least they all diamonds in the rough.

 

[Tux]

Bussey really likes the Vols. So much that he told Nebraska to stop recruiting him. Their fans are melting down the Bugeater boards.

If Bussey comes to UT, what does that mean for Love and Frasier?

Probably means Love to Stanford and Frasier to NC State.

 

[k-sny-vol]

Is Bussey higher on our board than both Frasier and love? I thought Frasier was thought to be the best back in america possibly.

Sentiment among most of the recruiting sites was that Fraiser probably stays in state. Either ends up at Duke or NC State. I think Love is still a take though. I think we would take Kamara, Bussey, and Love in this class. I think Reid probably goes elsewhere anyways after Bussey commits. We should know soon since Reid is supposed to be an EE.

 

[Vols_Fanatic518]

Callahan specifically said that UT wouldn't stop recruiting Love, Frasier, Dauphine, etc. if Bussey jumps on board.

I don't know if that means the coaches are uncertain about Reid or if they just don't like their chances with the Love, Frasier, Vaughn, Dauphine group.

 

[Ericvol2096]

It's hard to get a gauge on these RB's they all have great stats and different attributes that make them talented runners.

Rankings wise it is like this
Kamara - Consensus 4*
Frasier - Consensus 4*
Love - top 150 4* Rivals, Top 300 4* ESPN, 4* top 300 247 Comp. 3* 247
Dauphine - top 247 4* 247, 4* ESPN, low 3* Rivals
Bussey - top 100 4* Rivals, low 3* everything else
Reid - 3* Everywhere

I know stars aren't everything, but I haven't seen a group of players we've recruited with such varying opinions on all the sites.

Husker fans can shut their pie holes.

Dooley declined Ameer Abdulah and sent Imani Cross packing. The way I see it, they still owe us another RB

Bringin' a lot of truth with these statements here.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I realize this is a underhanded strategy but I have to wonder if they're having these other backs hold off on their commitments until after the EE dead line to keep Rocky. :loco:

Scout must have Love very low if he's a composite 3* with the other sites all giving him 4*.

Good, more options for nicknames.

They have to eventually allow someone to commit elsewhere (not sure how else to say it). We cannot take everyone we want and can have. There has to be a numbers cap somewhere despite any loopholes, even for CBJ.

 

[westside]

Recent comments by recruiting insiders have me worried about our tailback situation.

It is almost if the UT coaches can't decide on who they want and when.

My fear is that we swing for the fences and miss out on some good players.

Kamara is going to be on campus in a couple months. Whoever we get after that whether its Bussey, Love, Reid is just icing on the cake.

Pfft. Rules are for squares. Butch takes who he wants.
