'24 AZ EDGE Elijah Rushing (Oregon commit)

[Vol8188]

Strike 1: Nwaneri
Strike 2: Rushing

Hope we don’t strike out by missing on Ross

Yep. That’s how it works. There’s clearly only 3 DL prospects in the entire country

 

[drvenner]

The excuses are flowing per usual…

Long time no see. You do always seem to show up right after we miss out on somebody. Don't see you in too many threads where we get the guy. Wonder why that is.....

Zona was 5-7 overall, 3-6 in conference. Staying home or whatever you want to say, truth is you have to win these battles. Especially to sub-par teams like this.

Every other team lost as well. He’s a 5 star and any team would like to have him

If he truly wanted to be there because of his brother and then mom and pops. You can’t beat that. We will be fine. Go Vols!!

There was nothing to win. The guy choose his home school against virtually every decision metric. Clearly none of that mattered as much as staying home. You can't define someone else's values for them.

Quote us a few that you read.

With AP's tweet, I do wonder if Arizona has a subpar year if he isn't a flip candidate later in the year.

 

[volinbama256]

Family is solid and they wanted the brothers to play together... that's fine. I get it. But sorry, UT is better than this and needs to close. We didn't. Again, sorry, but this doesn't look well on UT and don't think it won't be brought up later as a negative against us from another school competing with us for a kid. At least he didn't go to another SEC school.

We weren’t supposed to even be in this. Too close a recruitment you have to lead in my opinion, not once during this recruitment did Tennessee lead. If they had gotten him it would have been the recruiting upset of the year. Can we all stop panicking about this please.

Went 5-7 last year. I can’t see them doing better than that this year. Mayyybe 6-6. But I doubt it.

 

[ReelfootVol]

Everybody was talking about us making the top 10 in recruiting this year. I hope we can make the top 20 ! See Rushing going to Arizona !

Players matter. Statistically speaking, the more blue chips you have the better chance of success. Not a stargazer, just saying you HAVE to beat out the instate program majority of the time if you want to contend. Especially if instate is low end like Arizona

 

[MyAll]

Guy wasn't a possibility a week ago. I imagine a few schools thought the same about UT in our dark period getting trey smith, berry, etc

Lol.

I would say when the no contact period is over...game on.

They went 5-7 following a 1-11 year and were competitive in games. What's to say they will get so much worse lol. They've improved under the new coach that built around a top 25 class his first year

About time some of us talk about the elephant in the room….

Just think how bad Oregon feels right now, they were supposedly in the driver’s seat for a long time. I think they will fire the coach that was the lead recruiter…

Not get worse. Just not be any better compared to the teams they play.

Ain't no bama fans in here!

 

[LaagerVol]

I don’t understand posters who ALWAYS carry water for opposing teams.

Plus they have some good transfers coming in this year.

 

[volinexile17]

Meh - I like the way the class looks so far. Missing on guys at this point in the cycle is pretty standard. Some of these will be flip candidates later, some will get hurt, some will have crappy senior seasons. There are always other dudes.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

All the troll posters posing as Vol fans suck. Get these guys outta here plz
