Mama knows.

Good song.

Mama knows.

Most mama's do...how many we read about loving Rocky Top. Kids need to start listening to mama. I have found over my 45 years, it still holds up to this day, actually.

It has been a good visit for four-star RB Braylen Russell, too, and I think Tennessee is still pretty optimistic about its chances of landing him. Not ready to count out Arkansas, and some close to the Razorbacks still think they have a real shot. But it’s worth noting that a lot of people in Arkansas even believe Tennessee might be the team to beat right now, and I think this weekend has only solidified the Vols’ standing at the top of his list.

This may be the most definitive Callahan has ever been about a recruit. He's the most cautious sports writer I've ever seen.

Yes but he is reliable. Makes me optimistic about our chances with Russell.

Is this the second RB we are shooting for to go with Lewis in this class?

 

[rgvol]

Yes

While Seldon and Lewis are good size backs with speed, this guy is your joystick running back. I love all three of them and they are going to be magical in this offense.

His nickname should be "Hedge."

"It was great being around them again," Russell said of Tennessee. "It's always a good time being around them and catching up with them. They are great people and great coaches. I enjoyed being out on the lake and just having a good time."

"They are definitely top three, definitely," Russell said of Tennessee.

He said they also “made it clear that I was a big priority and that they wanted me to come to Rocky Top.”

He said he's “really not worried about” depth charts as he continues to weigh his options and move toward a final decision. He said last month that his final choice will come down to “just people.”

“The people there are mainly what I’m looking for — if I can be around you and I like you, and won’t be miserable for four years,” Russell said at the time.

Not worried about depth charts? Don’t tell Ross that

Are you suggesting that he’s going to commit before his publicly announced (for weeks) date of July 14?

 

[AlcoVOLic]

This one seems over. I think we have our 2 running backs come July 14th.

July 14th technically isn’t “long”
two weeks away from this Friday

“It was amazing and I loved the visit,
“What stood out was being around the football players and having fun with them really getting to see and vibe with people I could possibly be playing with.”

We get our 2nd back on 14th

Right. That seems pretty clearly like where this is headed…

Larger RB,s like Mafah from Clemson and Rodriguez from KY, provide a really nice change of pace and allow a grinding running attack.
Thankfully UT has better OL play and will be able to cash in on that grinding rush attack.

You can't stack the box on us like you can against Kentucky though. That's why different types of RBs can have great success in our offense. You can be shifty and make the first man miss, speedy and out run the first defender, or powerful and break the first tackle. The result is still a lot of open field to run.

You mean the guy we lead for? That Ross?

 

[RiseToTheTop]

And our backs feast in the second half of games a lot of times. Imagine trying to tackle some of these guys when you’re gassed late in the 3rd quarter.

man our RB room is becoming an embarrassment of riches again like it should be.
