'16 NJ DT Rashan Gary

[LouderVol]

I still give the edge to Darden.

However, you could put Bryce Brown here too. Hardesty was clearly the better back and with all the hype, didn't produce.

kid was good for us. true freshman backing up a NFL caliber running back. 4.6 yards per carry and added some receiving numbers as well. hard to produce when you are here only one year.

What was the 5 star LB/S out of Memphis that was supposed to be all world? Todd Cox or am I off on that one?

Not quite 5 star, but he was pretty highly rated for a while there, yeah. IIRC, he was ranked high early, but his stock dropped later in the process. Again, IIRC, he siged with Ole Miss, didn't qualify, went to juco, and was never heard of again.

I think his NFL career also shows he was the better back of the two.

hardesty not really having an NFL career kinda skews that.

 

[Boston Vol]

If we're talking busts, O.J. Owens deserves a mention

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Splain this, please.

Pretty simple. Brown was either the #1 or #2 ranked player in the country in 2009. He was mega hyped to be a total stud at RB. He never produced at UT or KState. While Hardesty broke out in 2009 and produced 1345 rushing yards and 14 TDs.

I see your Brian Darden and I raise you one Kenny O'Neal.

And i raise you an OJ Owens.

 

[highspeed]

And i raise you an OJ Owens.

Man, I was so excited about OJ Owens.

Lynn McGruder was another one I was really excited about who didn't work out all (though I think he ended up being a decent player at Oklahoma IIRC).

 

[onevol74]

Dirk Borgonone, FG Kicker from out west somewhere.

Nevada...He actually ended up in the NFL for a short stint...kickoff specialist.

So no news on Rashan Gary.

McGruder actually played well as a true freshman DT, but got busted slinging weed - allegedly.

OU couldn't sign him fast enough.

@ToddHuberSS: Will download all my thoughts on #TheOpening this week, but 1st, the easiest one. Rashan Gary is the best DL to ever come through this event


SIAP

Don't worry there will be a best ever next year as well.

 

[engineerVOL]

If he's better than Kahlil then that's scary. Stay off our schedule 🙏🏼

Unless he commits here and then beats out KM as the starter, I'll never believe he is better.

Balls in your court Mr. Gary.

 

[MiramarVol]

I noticed the first few clips of his 247 video were against Bergen Catholic and was filled with pressures on JG. I see why he's recruiting him to join him as a Vol.

Yea, that is like the judges saying this is the best season ever on American Idol.:crazy:

 

[Nashvegas31]

R A S H A N G A R Y ..... focus people focus.

Tends to happen when it's unlikely they come here. He really doesn't show any interest at all. It would take getting him to visit with JG to even get us on his radar

 

[Kristy*]

So no news on Rashan Gary.

Kahlil's in his ear. That worked out pretty well for Richmond.

 

[Kristy*]

Gary is dominant. Hope he stays off our schedule forever.

I hope he's on our schedule every game from '16 to '18.

I think he produced reasonably well for a true freshman. He then left when Kiffin did. That doesn't really fit the mold of the discussion, IMO.

The Scout No. 1 quarterback in the East Region plans to return to Knoxville this weekend. A blue chip recruit may be with him as he doesn't live far from the No. 1 player in the nation, Rashan Gary.

 

[TNHopeful505]

That would be huge. We need some good news after the past few days
