‘23 AL RB Khalifa Keith (Tennessee)

[AllThingsTN]

Dude, you need some humility in your life

Wait….are you implying that recruiting services aren’t following his posts and updating their ranking based on his opinion? I mean sure, almost everyone in the Leacock thread said he was underrated…but he got 2 of them right. Something seems fishy.

Kid looks like an NFL LB right now from appearance only.

But look at his highlights from Bishop Gorman. He wasn't even the starter...
He doesn't have a clip over 1 min in any game from 2021

He wasn't going to start this year as a SR.


We took his commitment way to fast

You mean his 10 carry 51 yds game or 7 carry 112 yd game? He playing on a terrible team with subpar blocking and putting up those stats and you don't think he's a good back?

From the research department - Keith is very pro-UK on the Twitter

Will be until that Tennessee offer hits the inbox and then it’ll be all Vols.

Did I say that?

Keith is better. Keith is one of the most underrated backs in the South.

I never said it before because Stallings was committed to us and not him. He's significantly better.

Stallings ain't the type of player we need to get to Atlanta.

Where did that info come from?

I simply don't see Keith as better.

Ok.

Why not?
Because he's committed to Kentucky and Stallings to UT?

It's actually very obvious who the better back is.

Like I said, I don't see Keith as better, not close.

Who committed where has nothing to do with it.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Keith looks a lot better to me. I hope we get him. And if we don’t, I hope I’m wrong.

They always are until they flip.

Poor kid is stuck at the Kentucky game right now.

He has to be miserable

I’m sure he enjoyed the game tonight

So is this our last option for a HS rb?

Yes. The very last one. There are no others.

I wonder Of Ky mods now he’s coming here or what the forums are saying lol

Their will be plenty of running backs in the transfer portal. Paitence

Hopefully, but we didn't have luck with that last offseason and they tried hard!

This is a different year and our rbs are showing why this system is awesome to play in.

I think you hit the nail on the head with the last statement. We look a lot more appealing right now. There were still questions last season about Heupel, the “investigation”, etc. Now our offense and NIL are firing I expect this off-season to be different.

The other tailback is Kentucky commitment Khalifa Keith. He will be in town this weekend as well as Tennessee continues to move the needle with him.

[VolByLaw]

Tennessee will go see Khalifa Keith this week. I’d bet he gets an offer this weekend. He continues to click really well with the staff.

Ever wonder what a 5 star RB would do in this offense

 

[VolInDayton]

Ever wonder what a 5 star RB would do in this offense

With the safety having to play out wide to match up against our WR, RBs should be able to house some long runs if they can get pass the LBs cleanly.

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Ever wonder what a 5 star RB would do in this offense

Gibbs or Bigsby would've made this offense unstoppable imo. Our RBs have been good though
