[BigOrangeTrain]

Miami offered. I’d assume more offers to come

Miami? That sucks. Ruiz gonna drop another big bag and swoop in

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

If i'm not mistaken, isn't Hobbs around that time too?

I believe Hobbs is on the 25 th

Still plays with dolls.

That's as big an alarm bell as I've ever seen.

Probably has tea parties, too.

Quinshon Judkins -Pike Road High (3 star RB)

Yes that is the same Judkins that is leading the SEC in rushing in 2022 as a true freshman for Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss!

Not saying Keith is going to be Judkins, but ...have an open mind when it comes to this recruiting thing.

Need one of Travis Henrys kids to fill the role

sheesh, he can supply the whole 1st team offense

Touted RB Khalifa Keith 'Loved' Latest Visit to Rocky Top for Vols Win Over Missouri

Keith was able to get his family to Knoxville for the first time, and they enjoyed the trip as well.

"They loved it," he said of this. "They said it looked more like a place like home to them, but like I've said, we are just going to go through this process and enjoy it. They had a great time. It was their first recruitment trip, my sister's first recruitment trip, so it was a big deal to her."

Sounds like he was getting the stamp of approval from the family. He's been here too many times now for anyone to top us, and he is still coming back for an official visit.

Yep. He will look great in orange.

The big 230lb back we need

Kid is already around 220 now.

 

[Deathandtaxes]

This dude is already in the fold I would assume. How has he not committed yet?

 

[Jackcrevol]

So many really nice runs would be TD's if small or wright were 220 or higher

He's just enjoying the recruiting process.

Or if Small was faster and Wright had more wiggle

 

[Jackcrevol]

I think its just size theyve both made some sick moves

If you could combine those two, that would be an excellent RB.

 

[BelieveTheHeup93]

No it’s not. Small has no top end speed and Wright doesn’t have a lot of wiggle to shake 1 on 1 defenders and neither are particularly good at finding a hole and hitting it hard. They both dance just a little too much. Look at the runs Sampson had yesterday. He found a hole and exploded through it. All 3 are good backs and I don’t completely disagree that we need a bigger back in this offense, but not having a bruiser isn’t why we haven’t had explosive runs this year. It’s because the most explosive RB we have is a true freshman

I’m sure the coaches have tried it already, but I think Jimmy Holiday would make a good RB. He was a HS QB that ran between the tackles a lot. He has decent size at 6’0 205 with elite speed and him having QB experience even though it was in HS I would think he could pick up pressure fairly well. We need to find ways to get him the ball though. He’s as good of an athlete as there is on the roster and we need to find ways to get him touches whether it be screens out of the backfield, jet sweeps, or slants/hitches. He’s a big play waiting to happen and it absolutely kills me to see him never get opportunities to make returns

Or if Small would just run. I could’ve used a sundial to time his TD run yesterday.

I don’t know what his 40 time is, but he is SLOOOOOOW it looks like he takes him 5-6 steps to cover 10 yards

And God forbid there’s an extra layer of paint on those has marks.

Yeah that run at LSU was frustrating at the moment it happened. He’s been solid for us though and is a good receiver out of the backfield. His toughness also shouldn’t go unnoticed. Having a bad shoulder as an undersized RB in the SEC and still running and playing as hard as he does takes a lot of heart

 

[GameTime]

This young man with Sampson, would be a thunder and lightning combo...
