“I’ve got it narrowed down to two, LSU and Tennessee,” the News Sentinel’s eighth-best prospect in the state of Tennessee said.


What's up HV? what's your feel for this guy?

 

[hvwarrior58]

Fallback type, imo.

 

[rexvol]

hard to believe a guy LSU's offered is a fallback

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

We'll know more later, right now he's just emerging on Rivals.

 

[hvwarrior58]

Apparently, he is about to shoot up the rankings and we just offered him this past week.

 

[TennesseeAtlanta24gordon]

when will the rankings be updated?

 

[hvwarrior58]

Not for sure, I'd guess around start of the season.

 

[LittleDTO]

has anyone ever seen him play?

 

[rexvol]

if LSU's offered and Rivals is about to shoot him up the rankings, I cant help but wonder why we waited so late to offer an in-state guy.

 

[hvwarrior58]

Still evaluating. You can't offer every prospect that is instate. There is always a few that slip through the cracks.

 

[rexvol]

we go coast to coast for recruits, surely we can take of our backyard first, it's not like we have hundreds of div-1 guys to keep up with....but there will always be some guys that slip through

 

[hvwarrior58]

That's the problem. Tennessee HS football isn't near the caliber of Cal, Flo, Tex, etc. We can't just stick instate until July and then branch out or we miss out on some of the bigger players elsewhere that may have been interested in us.

 

[rexvol]

I know that you're really high on Spurlock, give me your odds that we get him

 

[hvwarrior58]

65-35 us over Bama.

 

[rexvol]

if we start losing guys to Bama, the way we did when I was in high school I will vomit blood and start kicking my dog
