'24 AR RB Braylen Russell (Arkansas commit)

[JPL]

Glad we didn’t land him then. Disrespectful to waste someone’s time.

Yes, he and family wanted it to be a surprise, it was anything but…

pitiful

Let’s get Matthews…

Wow, a kid from a town with 20,000 people went to the in state school and ONLY real school in the state.

Really shocked the world with that one.

This didn’t age well considering AP’s quotes just now

To want a kid then say he wasn't that good after you didn't get him isn't a good look regardless of what anyone says

His moment was committing to Arkansas….

hate to say it. we have Keith. this was a luxury. kid will prob fit in better with Arky's 1945 offense.

The old run right on first down ,run left on second down. Run up the middle on third down and then run to sideline because your going to punt offense?

 

[Ryals525]

Nothing wrong with a portal RB. Works for Kiffin.

What other back out there ..Who’s next on the list..?Frazier is out so who..?

He didn’t say he wasn’t good, just that our guy was better. That’s at least true in the recruiting rankings.

Pretty trash of him to do that to Heup….damn

OK

 

[BreatheUT]

Ridiculous couldn’t imagine trying to actually deal with these kids

The new age of recruiting seems to just be worse than before covid. Will at some point being a fan won't be much fun?

That’s some sack of sh** stuff right there…

I hope we draw them some time over the next four years…I’ll laugh my a** off when we’re scoring every series while they try to keep up in there 1970’s offense

That’s one way to burn bridges.

Arkansas just landed another top 50 recruit 5 minutes later

Congrats I guess... they get the joy of going 8-5 and 7-6 every year.

 

[utvolmaniac]

Well as usual I was wrong yet again

[cwbytruckers]

Im not upset losing this guy. As long as we get studs a WR and QB and OL an average or better RB can thrive in this offense.

And he has to stay in Arkansas. Stuff of nightmares tbh.

At least he's not in Benton I guess.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I mean, the fact that the kid actually sat in on the damn NCAA infractions call with our staff when he knew he wasn’t coming here is absolutely insane. Not worried in the slightest about losing this kid.

I think Russell would have played well on our team. If that is not happening, then good luck to him.

 

[aRmo]

If dragging the coaching staff along was something he did on purpose that says alot to how he was raised. but if he truly didnt know up until he committed then gl to the kid.

The only way it would if it was an instate target. Otherwise it’s irrelevant. It’s mot going to prevent us from getting recruits. Stop with the dumb.

Excellent post/

I'd rather think he thought he had a better chance to start at Arky then to think Heupel can't close

You’re a Clemson fan that trolls multiple Vol boards. Get lost
