Why do people fawn over Akers, but doubt Chandler? I have never understood that. I think Akers is a good back, he nay be a great one..I really believe that Chandler can be better. Is it because the services gave Akers an extra shiny star?

2 great RBs are better than 1 :)

I think everyone is excited for Chandler but Chandler even wanted to play with Akers. Getting both would have been out of this world. Akers will be a great back, he had 100 all purpose yards in their spring game. I do think Chandler can be just as good though.

Haven't seen much, if any, doubt about Chandler. Most probably want to see a stable of elite backs.

Jalen Hurd saga. Under utilized Kamara, which definitely hurt his body of work and ultimately his draft stock.
That about do it?

except we turned a two year back up into a 3rd round draft pick with a lot of attention on him going into the draft. he went in front of a lot of starters.....

I thought I read that most of his rushing yards only game against 4 or 5 teams

No clue, haven't seen that. Looks pretty fast tho and shifty in his film. Not sure what's up with his ranking if he isn't that good or if he is an under the radar type guy. Guess we'll find out soon enough

This. I watched every highlight posted for him, and read as much info as I could find on him. To Hell with the star rating. I was and still am sold on him without worrying about that crap. If Cam Akers stays healthy and outta trouble, he will be a great player.

I believe the same or maybe more for Ty Chandler. But both on the same team? That would have been sweet. But hopefully Trey Coleman and Tim Jordan can quickly prove they were way underrated. They are Vols, Akers is not.

.... losses to Vandy, failure to win anything meaningful, etc. Maybe a better questions is why would an rb want to be a Vol when he is also being recruited by teams that have had much more recent success. Not trying to be a Nega, just sometimes am absolutely amazed by how out of touch some of these sunshine pumpers can be. IMHO, butch has done quite well recruiting given the limited success that the Vols have had under his watch.

Look Folks: BIG TIME kids will start flocking to Tenn when Butch proves he can WIN games in the games that he's NOT favored in to win like BAMA etc., just like Dabo had to prove he could beat Fla St and Miami, and Va Tech

Tennessee still has plenty of options at running back.

The decommitment of three-star all-purpose back Jashaun Corbin of Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy in Melbourne, Fla., came as a bit of a surprise to the Vols, if only because of the timing. Corbin had been committed to Tennessee for less than a month. The Vols knew they were going to have to battle to hold onto him, and they clearly had plenty of competition for him. But they couldn’t have expected to lose him this soon.

But even with Corbin no longer being part of Tennessee’s class, there’s no reason for the Vols to panic as they continue their search for running backs — ideally two of them — in the 2018 class. They have cast a fairly wide net to this point, extending offers to more than 30 running backs, and they’re still in good shape with several targets.

Lyn-J Dixon of Butler, Ga., remains a high priority and a real possibility for Tennessee, and the Vols still are battling Top247 prospect Master Teague of Murfreesboro, Tenn., although Auburn and now Georgia have emerged as perhaps the favorites to land him. Tae Provens of Gurley, Ala., has been high on Tennessee for months, and three-stars Anthony Grant of Buford, Ga., and Jahmir Smith of Sanford, N.C., are among the other running-back targets who have visited the Vols this year. Several others have shown interest in Tennessee but have yet to make the trip to Knoxville.
