'15 LA RB Kendall Bussey (Former UT commit)

[sanddune50]

Per Hubbs

Both Kamara and Jalen Hurd spoke to Kendall Bussey Jr. throughout the day Thursday as they not only tried to reassure him Tennessee is the right choice, but also that help is still needed in the Tennessee backfield.

We still expect Bussey to visit Texas A&M this weekend and some in College Station, Texas, believe they have a bit of momentum with the four-star running back after visiting him this week.

Those close to Bussey maintain that heading into the weekend Tennessee is still very much the team to beat. Bussey is expected in Knoxville next weekend for his visit.

So he is definitely not just going for fun. If Hurd and Kamara have been trying to convince him, that shows he needs convincing.

Steady... Steady...

Of Love wants to committee, I bet the coaches let go of Bussey I he takes the A&M visit

That's a trade I hope they don't have to make.

Can you imagine the power play by Butch though, if it came to that.

Bussey on his OV... the phone rings...

CBJ: "Hey Kendall, it's Butch! What's goin' on big man?"

KB: "Not much coach. I'm down at A&M right now, just checking things out."

CBJ: "That's cool. Hey, I'm with Bryce Love right now, he just told me he wants to be a Vol. Here, I'll put him on the phone, and you let me know what you guys decide. Take your time. You've got 2 minutes."

That's awesome and an absolutely great way to handle that.

It's prob the dad. He was pushing AM before the commit

 

[bigl3327]

I want Bussey in this class but if he decides to flip, I'd be satisfied with having Kelly and Lewis on NSD.

Sounds about right, but you left all that cussing out he does.........:unsure:

Bryce Love and Jaason Lewis are no longer visiting. Bussey needs to cancel his visit and affirm his UT commitment.

I'm sure this is us showing him we are done at RB.

I'd rather have Bussey than Love.

 

[BigOrangeLoyalist]

I'd rather have Bussey than Love.

Definitely agree. I think Love will be good wherever he ends up, but he just seems like a quick little PAC-12 or ACC back... not a bruising SEC back like Bussey.

 

[LebanonVolunteer]

I'd rather have Bussey than Love.

I've had that opinion for quite awhile. There are probably 4-5 other RBs I'd take before Love. The kid would he a slot WR most likely at UT IMO.

 

[Vol Catdaddy]

Bussey is the real deal he may steal touches b from kamara.

 

[615 Vol]

Bussey is the real deal he may steal touches b from kamara.

That would surprise me but he would get some carries as thin as the position has become. He is also set up to be the guy in a few years.

 

[chaseasl]

He's immediately the number 3 back if he sticks imo

 

[amavol2]

I would not be suprised if Kamara has the most rushing yards next year.

 

[chaseasl]

Could be but I really think Hurd breaks out and has a monster season, Kamara will get his too, I think they combine for around 2,000

Will the OL still be garbage? That's the main component.

Shouldn't be. Another year of development and hopefully a real solution at LT will fix many things.

I thought they looked much, much better against Iowa.

This. Iowa had an upprerclassmen laiden d-line and well coached. Should be much improved next year !

 

[engineerVOL]

We blew Iowa up at the line.
