Jones has been reduced to competing for 2* players against WKU and Purdue.... and you guys don't see a problem?

Ugh

Of course this isn't an ideal situation for us.

But we need a 3rd RB and this kid is better than some of the 3* guys we're looking at.

You're probably following this closer than I am but it seems UT needs more LB's more than anything else. If you're going to take a chance on a project type 2* player then why not find a big safety who can become a SLB or MLB?

Yeah. I really do. You go after a lower rated guy here or there... OK. But there's a lot of it going on this year and UT really isn't in the running at all for a lot of the top shelf guys.

Jones has pretty much demonstrated that he can't "coach'em up". The only real hope is that he can recruit elite talent on a consistent basis.

I'd rather be "sunshine" while winning championships than when hoping against hope that Jones is finding not a few but A LOT of "diamonds in the rough".

You don't want Jones to succeed. You want him to fail so you can *****. We need to have some stability but you and you nega brethren calling for firings will keep us mired in mediocrity for another decade

Because we need to have 5 RBs on campus next year more than we need to add a 6th player who might project to LB to this class.

If you Maleik Gray (who could grow into a LB), we have 5 current commits who could play LB for us in the future (maybe 6 if Bembry doesn't end up playing his hand in th dirt).

As things stand now, we will only have 4 scholarship RBs on campus next fall. Gotta be deeper than that.

This guy is for depth. We have two RBs committed already including Ty Chandler, an absolute baller.

Move along now.

He's not a two star. So why are you being so inaccurate? Some above our level attempt at a finer point? :wink2:

I think his choice will come down to..come to Tennessee and compete against higher rated backs or go to a school like UNC, Illinois, or Purdue and have a better chance to play early

TIMOTHY JORDAN

Running back

6-0, 187 pounds

Bartow (Fla.) High School

Tennessee still is looking to add a third running back to its 2017 class, and while four-star prospect Travis Etienne of Jennings, La., and three-star Darrian Felix of Fort Myers, Fla., also are considering the Vols, Jordan appears to be one of their most realistic options. Jordan, a three-star prospect, decommitted from Western Kentucky earlier this week and is planning to take official visits to North Carolina the weekend of Jan. 13, Tennessee the weekend of Jan. 20 and Purdue the weekend of Jan. 27 before making his final choice. The 247Sports Crystal Ball currently points to North Carolina as the favorite.

TIMOTHY JORDAN, 6-0, 187 pounds

Bartow (Fla.) High School

Three stars. Ranked No. 1,235 overall prospect and No. 79 running back by 247Sports.

Tennessee’s chances: Good. Tennessee and North Carolina are the favorites to land the former Western Kentucky commitment. The Vols and Tar Heels, along with Purdue, are scheduled to host him this month.

I do think they have close to a 50-50 shot at RB Timothy Jordan, although North Carolina appears to be in good shape with him right now. That's a battle to watch, and he's someone Tennessee would be happy to get.
