Similar type of player. Tweener that is not really a RB and not really a WR. Lacks ideal size. Quicker rather than fast. Yes, similar. Hayden probably just slightly more talented version of the same type of player. Hayden rankings and Opening performance don't quite match up to his recruitment, does it? UT and USCe won't take commitment.

Hayden>>>Young

lol and it's not even close. Young was what, 5'8 170 as a senior? Kid has been leaning Arkansas for a while now so the USCe thing means literally nothing and definitely can't be verified...so it's irrelevant. UT passed cuz we got Akers/Chandler as higher priorities. I'm not convinced the kid from LA signs with us.

The USCe boards don't seem to care where he goes. They have the back they want. If they get a 2nd back it will be a kid from NC apparently.

It is kind of interesting to go back and read some of these threads. Especially some of the in state kids that "just aren't good enough". At times it's like flipping a light switch as you see the opinions do a 180.

Every scholarship RB we have is better tham him. Chandler and Akers are better. So is Coleman.

The kid has been able to go to camps and do pretty well. But imo he is not a top 250 player.

He is a Kentucky, Arkansas, Mizzou type of recruit. And not someone high on their board at that.

I'm not sure Coleman is better than Hayden.

They just had a piece on him on channel 3 news here in Memphis. He and his dad both interviewed about his upcoming decision.

Felt kinda bad for the kid...

He talked about choosing from the schools that "want" him.

Should be a happy time for him, there were no smiles.

Good luck Chase, I'll be rooting for you.

Me too. Unfortunately it's things like this that has me not as frustrated when instate kids spurn UT and go elsewhere. I just can't blame them.

If this kid was more than a 3* recruit I would say there's no way we can let him get away from us. However, we already signed a bunch of 3* players. We need some 4* & 5* recruits now.

He's an in-state legacy rated higher than some of the 3* players in this class and he's apparently not even a borderline take. That's hard for a kid... and hard for his dad who wanted to see his son play for his alma mater. I'm not saying the coaches are wrong; it's just one of those unfortunate situations that makes you wish it could have turned out better for the Haydens.

Not a bad consolation prize to be choosing between Arky and OK St IMO. Both good places for RBs. He wants to play RB and we aren't sure that's his postion in our offense. Can't blame either side

That really isn't the same for a legacy. Of course we can't take all legacies, nor should we. I just hate it for the kid. I hope he has a great career wherever he goes.

I'm not saying he should or should not be in the class, I'll leave that up to the staff.

It was just a little sad. You could tell he probably wanted to be a VOL.

I agree but it seems if he were willing to play slot, he would be a Vol..

My sentiments exactly.

They'll be fine though. Good family.

Wish Chase the best. Sorry we don't have room for him to sign with us.
