'24 AZ EDGE Elijah Rushing (Oregon commit)

[WesTnVol]

we can’t be too far apart I’m in Union City

Rutherford about 20 miles south

 

[InVOLuntary]

Player living several time zones away decides to stay home, play for the instate school

This is completely inexplicable!!

Commence the meltdown!

I think you're a little late.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Can the thread title be updated to (Arizona Commit) please?

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

about what? its a hard ask to get a kid to come across country. family is 1st. still dont understand Zona. Taking a top player here is more a luxury than a need.

Looked it up, his HS is 1.8 miles from U OF A. All of those folks at his signing could walk to games instead of 26 hours of drive time or plane rides. They were obviously important to him. Take a heap of NIL to cover those costs.

with your obviously sincere Orange heart you can make this happen by increasing your NIL payments up to 6 figures with it dedicated to this recruit and his brother. Looking forward to your screenshot of the cancelled check. Whatever, You have to back up statements like yours with action. You are on the clock.

Didn’t mean for my post to come off as an NIL post. Just making the statement that at some point you have to get guys like this. Even over playing with a walk-on brother close to home. As far as donations go we do donate to the university regularly. Not six figures, but enough for a good tax write off. I’ll let my wife know you said we need to increase our amount.

Players Especially if instate is low end like Arizona

Actually, Arizona has good to very good hs talent, as good, if not better than TN.... Bijan Robinson and Latham Ransom played on the same hs team as Rushing in Tucson. The valley ( Phoenix) produced numerous 4-5 stars in the last decade or so, Spencer Rattler and Kellee Ringo being just two of many).

Ringing in his ears...probably still remaining from the 4th of July fireworks.

NFL is the true jewel

Yea, ok. Y’all disappear until after the fact yesterday. Only to show up today and say this.

Believe it. It happened. Move on.

And none of those guys went to Zona. Not saying the area isn’t talent rich, just that we need to land them eventually.

Maybe it was Ross all-along...

and Rushing was the "Get-Shirt"/"Blue-Shirt"...which is why he stayed close to Momma...for now

4D Chess by Heup and Garner?

Hmmmmm....

Tbh, it doesn't really seem like UT has ever really dedicated resources to recruiting kids in Arizona before. The biggest player that I can recall UT ever landing from Arizona was Charlie Garner out of Scottsdale Community College (the Fighting Artichokes), but he grew up in Virginia.

Very menacing!

So you don't think the staff will still recruit him? Do you think Brent & Crew saying it's probably not totally done are being disingenuous?

Lol, just going off what VQ guys are saying.

There’s a better chance of them stringing folks along to get another monthly payment.

 

[OrangeEtBlanc]

Hate that we missed-out on this kid, but if not a Vol, I’d rather him to go to a school like Arizona than one of our rivals or even Oregon. The more talent dispersed among other programs helps us in securing a playoff spot. Arizona won’t likely challenge us for a CFP position anytime soon, but Oregon could. Aside from Rushing coming to Knoxville, this was our best-case scenario.

You take this stuff way to seriously.

He won't end up at Arizona. They won 5 games last year and barely squeaked by north dakota state. Once the season starts, he will start having some serious post commit dissonance.

Arizona will still be bad, but I still think he'll sign with Arizona in December.

Dang - I’m always late to the party
