'24 AR RB Braylen Russell (Arkansas commit)

[bigl3327]

This isn't that big of a deal if he goes to Arky. We have possibly the fastest RB in the country committed(he's already around 200lbs), and we picked up 3 RBs in this past signing class. Two of those guys looked really good this spring, and the 3rd(Keith) is a big body RB. Seldon is a big, fast, do it all RB. He may never need to move to WR if we land 4 in this class. The issue is depth if someone hits the portal.

Your all tripping. Maybe he goes to Arky. Fong is kinda sh1t with predicts this year.

 

[bigl3327]

Nah.
We're kind of loaded at RB already.

Lewis is just icing imo.

Not loaded if Wright has a big year and enters the draft, and you have someone else transfer after this season. That would leave us with 4 scholarship RBs with the majority having very little experience.

This year he is 266 / 274 (97.08%).

This year he is 266 / 274 (97.08%).

he changes his choice right before a kid commits. So it counts in the win column.

He could also change it ten minutes before the announcement. Just saying it’s not set in stone yet. Until ap says something I’m gonna have a little hope.

Now he’s just trying to hurt our feelings

I’m not quite sure what to make of that pick at this point. There are reasons to think Tennessee is still a real possibility going into Friday’s announcement, but Steve is usually dead on with his picks in the final week or so leading up to an announcement, so I’m sure he has good info.
I’ve mentioned in my reporting on Russell this week that the Razorbacks have liked their chances recently, so it’s not necessarily shocking if that’s the direction it ends up going. But I’m not ready to say it’s Arkansas just yet.

he’s def been doing that

 

[JacketVol]

I like Russell, But with Seldon, Keith, and Lewis..........UT is just fine at RB.

This may be the real reason.

If true then everybody is more plugged in than our guys. And that’s all good but it should be recognized. Oregon guy was letting everybody know about Rushing and our guys hadn’t a clue. But maybe Fong is wrong on this one.

If they wanted a meaningful scoring system for CB picks, something like (% confidence times # of days correct) - (% confidence times # of days incorrect) would be better IMO. That might put a damper on the crystal ball gamesmanship, or at least reveal the ones more likely to post good information.

 

[MegaVol615]

This may be the real reason.

Just seems weird that we would apparently be so deep into the process with him.. the RB room (even with Lewis) hasn’t changed in the last 2 weeks and Matt Ray seemed fairly confident that we were out front at that point

I was called a nega vol and not a real vol fan for voicing my concerns on our staff’s recruiting abilty, but here we are, seeing exactly what I was talking abt

You’re a d*ck about it, hence why you get those kind of replies.

Poor baby.

This. Go Vols!

 

[Weezer]

I've been looking forward to a good panic. It cleanses the soul.

 

[RockyTop411]

Wilfong has taken his CB pick down for what it’s worth.

Who knows what it means….just sharing its now down.

Right. Loser riffraff there is a classic "concern" troll. He's very concerned, you know!

Also he reasons poorly. That someone might commit somewhere else does not make a loser concern troll anything other than a loser concern troll. There is no logical inference otherwise. Someone always goes somewhere else sometimes. But Vol fans don't choose that moment to brag and preen themselves.

He was a little premature…happens to the best of us

 

[Volfan39]

If he took it down it’s for a reason. Everyone knows he doesn’t care about running kids moments
