‘23 AL RB Khalifa Keith (Tennessee)

[UTMVol76]

Coach Mack’s RB recruiting is kind of inexcusable when you can’t recruit a blue chip to the #1 offense in America. JMO

Watch the ‘24 class. Rarely do onfield results lead to instant recruiting success. Plus there’s the developing relationship thing.

We hop around like fleas over things we bisch about! Quavaris Crouch ran a 4.7 and all you heard was VN clamor for him to play RB!

 

[BucVol98]

Not trying to be negative but he looks slow.

Personally I saw a big back that has fluid hips and good change of direction for a big man.

Our training staff has a good base to build on imo.

He’ll only get stronger and faster in a college training program

People saying Khalifa looks awful and slow from one clip at an all star game

So did Arian foster…. I would take him again in a heart beat.

There are legitimate complaints about our offensive skill positions…. People will say that they don’t translate to the NFL…. We need some of our guys to get drafted high and be successful in the NFL. Winning and our stats should help also in the future.

Dude made like 4 or 5 cuts and never got full speed and the small db got his ankles…….

And he is now slow and not powerful enough?

Two cuts and the mini DB knocked him sideways with a shot to the waist.. As for slow I hear all about how fast he is based on highlights.

Knocked him sideways? He dove at his ankles. I don’t even see his waist being touched

Hurd wasn't that big as a high school senior.

I saw him in person. He absolutely was that big.

I was at every practice. My son played with him at Beech. He was nowhere near 230.

Keith's hudl says he's 220. Hurd was every bit of that imo. I'm 6ft 230 and he looked easily thicker than me.

The previous discussion was about it being reported that Keith is actually 230 now. Hurd got a lot thicker in his lower body heading into his senior year, but he topped out at 215, then had the shoulder injury in the first game against Station Camp. That was the last high school game he played in.

I missed that he was up to 230 now.

Hubbs and Price said it in a podcast a while back right after he decommitted from Kentucky.

Just got back from a "Holiday" party.

Khalifa Keith rips off a 20 yard run at an All-Star game,showing vision and good feet for someone at 225 and Volnation thinks he sucks

Never change Volnation!

 

[LittleVol]

That’s not bad for his size

that's faster than 190 Lbs Desean Bishop out of Karns, yet folks would swear he is better than Ketih.

South Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee have all been in the Top 25 this year.
All offered Keith.

Yet Coastal Carolina told Bishop to "git" but... he's obviously better than Keith

anyone thats actually paid attention to football can see the same thing you just said.

 

[SSVol]

We have the #1 offense. I'm puzzled as to why anyone would criticize the coaches' choice of offensive players, regardless of rating.

Because we had a perfectly good 3 star RB right in North Knoxville that we didn't offer.
He even got released from his Coastal Carolina offer which freed him up.

mack crapped da beeeeed!!

Hit him just below the waist and slid down. Didn’t tackle him at the waist…..

Why do you insist on throwing dirt on Bishop? He wasn't part of the conversation. As for Kieth being faster,I'm not sure that's the case. We don't know because nobody knows any tines. The one posted is pure make believe, that has apparently become VN gospel.

 

[csprig9]

I mean
The coaches got him to decommit from uk to come here
They usually have pretty damn good rbs too

He’s 230 lmao

The last head coach was obsessed with having recruiters and not coaches on his staff and, violations aside, it showed on the field week after week.
