'15 NC RB Rocky Reid (Wake Forest commit)

Offers from Georgia, Wisconsin, and Arkansas - all known for good running game. Agree the competition in the highlights looks a little suspect but he's still pulling away at the end of the runs - impressive since he's a bigger back.

Same type competition Darrell Scott played against.. Don't remember there being a big deal made of that tho.

Never understood the hate against Reid. Big, strong, quick downhill runner from the shotgun. Makes people miss. Catches the ball well.

Offer sheet means more than stars.

I like this kid. At worst, he's a solid chain mover for us the next 4 yrs. He reminds me of a LSU Rb. We need a big back to go along with Kamara and Hurd to get us some of those 3rd and shorts in the second half.

Does anyone think the situation with D. Scott possibly transferring will help with Reid sticking with his commitment? I personally hope the coaches try to keep this one.

Depends really IMO on what actually happened. Did Reid decide to visit on his own? Or did the UT coaches starting to push for another RB(possibly a 3rd) trigger his visit? It could be as simple as he's not interested in being 1 of 3 taken again. If his visit caused the UT coaches to start to push for other RBs, IMO he gone and it won't be his decision.

It will play out as always but I like Reid so I was hoping maybe losing Scott would cause the coaches to push a little harder to keep him. They may have other RB's lined up so he may not be a priority to them.

With it looking like they are OK with losing Bussey to A&M, and not pushing for Vaughn, I think they have their final plan set. Just a matter of if it plays out as they hope it will.

VQ guys seem really shaky on Reid considering he is a commit. I just don't see him staying. I will say this, this has went out longer than I figured it would if one or the other side was looking to change.

The fact that we will likely get Paulk back is big

Love will be a vol IMO

Reid said he plans to take official visits, starting in January, but hasn’t set any dates up yet.

He remains a Tennessee commit.

“Every time I go back there I feel at home more and more,” Reid said of Tennessee. “The commits all hit each other up three times a week. It’s like a family.”

Reid said he believes Volunteers tight ends coach Mark Elder is slated to stop by his school later today.

Reid said a pair of head coaches will be by to see him over the next two days.

Thursday, Louisville coach Bobby Petrino, along with assistant coach Tony Grantham, will stop by the school.

Friday, Wake Forest head coach Dave Clawson, along with Demon Deacons offensive coordinator Warren Ruggiero, will be by the school.

Reid said he still talks with Georgia running backs coach Bryan McClendon at least “once or twice” a week, too.

Distance to home gives Wake Forest appeal.

“My family can make it to every game and it’s a fit,” Reid said.

The 6-foot, 220-pounder visited Georgia November 15 when the Bulldogs downed Auburn, 34-7.

“That went great,” Reid said of Georgia. “I like how they run the ball downhill and the offense they run.”

Louisville hasn’t slowed down it’s pursuit since March.

“They’ve been recruiting me,” Reid said. “I like how they keep it as a family and run the ball.

The vibe I get from reading that is he really wants to be at Tennessee but we may not be willing to sign him anymore. Wonder what Elder has to say to him...
