'15 NC RB Rocky Reid (Wake Forest commit)

[Tux]

Lots of talk on VQ that he was tweeting with UGA fans last night.

 

[Crazy Ivan]

I think if he wanted to get the most carries early Vandy would fit his running style. He would probably have the most success there, but it wouldn't matter because Vandy is terrible.

I understand some of the hatred I guess for Vanderbilt, but honestly I am completely indifferent to them. Yes it sucked losing to them last year, but that was just not a very good team who was starting a true freshman in Dobbs who was missing our best weapon in North. However, I feel that a rivalry has to have some kind of historical precedent, and based on the record Vanderbilt is not a rival. The overall record is just a beatdown. They hate us, but we basically win every year. Who cares?

I look at Vanderbilt maybe in a little better light than someone like Northwestern, but I do not see them as a rival.

I care, but that's because I live in Nashville and apparently the small handful of fans that Vandy has all happen to work in the same building as me. last couple of seasons were tough, so it's good to see them moping around the building this season since Jimmy Frank left.

He said that?

Yes

”My commitment to Tennessee is solid,” said Rocky Reid. “I’m excited about the opportunity to play in front of over 100,000 fans. It’s going to be a great experience.”

Thats from yesterday.

westside upon hearing said quote.

"If Love wants in, it's really hard to see the Vols turning him away and something I don't think will happen if he wanted in. I don't know where that leaves Reid if that situation even occurs. It will be interesting for sure."- P Fortenberry

Let's stop pretending like this is just fan speculation.

No...not JUST fan speculation...old fashioned plain speculation.

Fort wouldn't say something like that if he hadn't had inside info suggesting that Reid's spot in this class is not concrete.

Sounds like you know him personally...I don't...All this "If he wants to come here, we will NOT tell him no" mantras bring up this question. If Love,Frasier AND Bussey want in? What then?

 

[Dust10]

I feel like too many are emotionally attached to specific players (in a lot of threads).

I for one am emotionally attached to the Tennessee Volunteers. I want the "program" to succeed.

If Rocky Reid is a Vol, and helps us win, I'll be happy.

If another tailback comes to Knoxville, and helps us win, I'll be happy.

Either way, I trust that we'll bring in the best class we possibly can.

I would encourage all to neither celebrate, nor denigrate, a change in commitment for the current class.

Bump?

 

[westside]

See that writing up on the wall? Been there for months.

That post was already under the assumption that Bussey is on board.

See that dude that won't shut up and is anti-dreadlocks and probably spurns cargo shorts for jorts? Been in this and other threads for months. :hi:

Tiresome bro.

K...so we have to take BOTH Love and Frasier too...right? If not which one do we shun? Almost forgot Kamara...recruit over him?

 

[Coastypop]

Do you have a cousin or brother named Terry by chance?

Are you looking for your own relatives here or what?

LoL

I know you're busting balls here, but it seems like we haven't heard much from Frasier lately. Think we are 4th behind FSU and the 2 NC schools where he can be "the man."

Why is it not concrete? Rocky's film is sick. We do not need another scat back, which I get the impression that Bryce Love is.

 

[Nashvegas31]

If it's all true I hope we don't end up really regretting this because we would have to play against him. UGA knows their running backs.

 

[jspvol76]

LOL!

ignorance like this is ruining this board for everyone.

You don't judge a player's skill set just based on his size.

Watch Love's highlight film and then tell me he's a "scat back"

Love is a tackle breaking machine. He is very powerful.

:no:

 

[lilesrt]

I hate to be harsh but it had to be said. There are too many posters on this board who don't the first damn thing about Football.

A difference in opinion does not equal ignorance. Take it down a notch big guy.

If he wants to go to UGA then good luck getting carries

bussey is not really a scat back though even though he can do a little bit of everything. Hes built like Josh Robinson and Terrance McGee. Hes like 5'8 200lbs already. if he plays at 205-210lbs at that height he will hard to tackle.

And just like that, madcap scurries over to the VQ where his opinion is revered.
