I'm hoping people aren't serious.

Taking 10 OL and missing sick skill talent won't make up for 2012 class. In recruiting, You don't compound one mistake by over-compensating for it the following years

You're right, but we still need a couple of tackles in this class.

I would hope you never had a close game, seeing as how for most of recent history, Rosewood was a tiny 1-A school and those were 3-A teams (Goldsboro was 4-A until 1996). Even in the last realignment cycle, when Goldsboro was 1-A, it was 2-A size after the first year.

No one is saying Frasier is great because he can rack up huge stats against Rosewood. Not dogging Rosewood because they're a team we cover and I have many friends there, but last year, any decent high school running back could have had a big day against them. They had a lot of sophomores playing. But this year, they have their best team in several years, and have won six of their last seven (the loss was JK, and it was respectable).

Frasier's put up huge stats against two teams that won a state championship, although Princeton as a team wasn't quite good enough to win those games. If he's not that good, then he's fooling my eyes that have covered high school football for 21 years, and he's fooling a lot of other eyes around the country, too. Including those of the UT coaching staff.

I post on here with his stats every week because I either see him play or someone working for me does every week, and since Johnny is a prime target of the UT coaching staff, I thought our fans would like some perspective from someone who actually watches him play. But by no means am I saying he's great because he can go 11-249 against North Duplin High School. He's an outstanding player because I've seen him do things on a football field that would lead to success against the University of Alabama as much as they do against North Duplin High School.

Anyway, Friday night is Senior Night at Princeton, Johnny's last regular-season home game, and it's against an opponent that can play a little football. He might get to stay in a little longer.

Thanks for your updates and analysis. Do you think we can flip him?

No, we need to sign every JUCO Olineman in the country. :crazy:

Wow. That picture of Bryce Love and Johnny Frasier just made me think of the future. Would LOVE to land those two. Hurd, Kamara, Scott, Frasier, Love, and Reid (just to avoid controversy). Would be amazing.

This post is so wrong. We absolutely made a huge push for him. Practically begging him to take a Ov here on multiple occasions

They definitely wanted him. And he seemed interested. Unfortunately the mother would not let him visit and was not open to him going anywhere but NC State.

Jacques Patrick committed to FSU may show how well FSU feels about Fraiser

Maybe they wanted both? If it does not bother Patrick, maybe it should not bother Frasier? UT fans point to this at times as a kid who is afraid of competition. We'll see what ole Johnny does now.

They've landed the #1 & #2 RS in the country. And the top in state guy.

No alternate meanings.

If u can get the best RB in the country and he's in your home state, you get him

Leb calm down buddy. I'm not jumping to conclusions so you can prove "how stupid I am". You have your opinions (negative at times) and I have mine.

Why a 5-star committing to FSU matters to Tennessee..

As expected, 5-star running back Jacques Patrick has committed to Florida State. Why does that matter to Tennessee?

As we reported in the War Room this may not sit too well with running back Johnny Frasier and as we've seen he's already been looking around.

Don't be surprised if something went down in the next few weeks and FSU and Frasier parted ways. Who would be involved with the 4-star tailback?

We hear Tennessee, NC State and Duke would be the three main suitors at this point. Obviously, others will likely try and jump in the mix.

Frasier continues to like the Vols, but there is some thinking that he wants to stay home and that NC State is a legit threat because they are about 45 minutes away from where he lives and then at Duke the Blue Devils' running backs coach is from his area and has some strong ties and the two have apparently developed a nice relationship. Duke is only about an hour and 15 minutes away.

Tennessee is obviously the farthest school from his home at about six hours away but I think that tells you how interested he is in the Vols that they are still very much in it despite the distance. Just wanted to provide an update.

We will continue to try and speak with him about his visit.

I can't even imagine having Hurd, Kamara, Frasier, Love, and Scott at RB for the next 3-5 years. That is insane

With current commitment Rocky Reid and Ke'Shawn Vaughn also a possibility, Butch will have the delightful difficulty of determining exactly whom he wants most. The tailback position could quickly become an embarrassment of riches.

He didnt say it meant he was scared of competition. VQ and 247 have both hinted all week to watch for something to happen when Patrick commits to FSU. The reasoning being that Frasier was already looking around seriously and that FSU originally told him he was their only back. So he kind of felt they were dishonest. If they were upfront it might not have mattered but I think he just doesn't want to be that far away after the last Fort update and this makes it easier for both parties to mutually part ways

Yeah, IF the FSU staff told him he would be their only RB then they take Patrick, can't blame him for looking around. I just had not read where FSU had said they were only planning to take 1 RB in 2015.
