Bearden RB Devrin Young Commits to Tennessee!

[volwarrior33]

Where did you get that info 33? Hubbs?

I've heard from many people that he texted the coaches today after practice. Hubbs is the one who said the announcement was tonight.

 

[volwarrior33]

He wants to sit down with his family first but it should be official later today.

Devin Hester ran a 4.29 and was shifty as all get out. He's also 5'10/5'11 185-190. Just because we sign a return specialist does not mean he is in the mold of one of the greatest returners of all time. It's easy to make small competition look bad, Hester does it in the NFL.

Be careful with this logic. Assume Young has a bad game.

It's just a matter of time before someone points out that Hester, too, had a bad game once and therefor they must be similar.

 

[utmba93]

He'll pick up his 5th star whenever the rankings are updated

It seems every commit we have will be getting another star soon. We're really good at this.

It's 8PM EST. How late do you think he'll be staying up?

Young could be what Nuke could have been for us.

Just out of idle curiosity, how many stars does he have now?

3 on rivals

He's a Dooley recruit, so he has the norm, before the upward adjustment that is coming later.

im really suprised he doesn't have more than 2 offers. i figured kentucky, vandy, GT, NC-state, and so on would be after him

They're not as good at evaluating talent. Pay attention.

I'd hate for him to offer this kid with all the 5* running backs knocking at the door to play here right now.

I hate we keep turning away all that 5* talent, just to sign those dang 3* and 4* guys nobody wants.

Not nearly as good as you.

Yep. We don't deserve either a proven coach or a 5* player.

We should be happy that anyone is willing to wear the orange.

I understand your penchant for breeding mediocrity.

Just think where we would be if we got 4* and 5* recruits before the upward adjustment.

Shake your pom, pom, and do a little high kick... we're getting another commit.

These guys would be talking dynasty within a year.

You would like to watch, wouldnt you?

Dream on, perv.

So what is your great plan after the 5 star players turn us down? Should we just cross our arms and say " If we can't have 5 stars we don't want any players!" We are rebuilding. Sometimes you can't pick and choose. If we get back on top we should be able to a little easier.

 

[golf437]

Not impressed at all. :disappointed:

I'm obviously not a scout, but I just don't see what makes him special. May be a great kid, but he doesn't look big, fast, or strong.

And that's against TN high school competition. He's not playing against great players.

I am very impressed. He could be a excellent return man.

My plan is obvious.

Fire the AD, hire one capable of hiring a proven coach, and if all this guy can recruit is 3* players, turn the stupid page before NSD.

exactly. more top talent players want rings, not early playing time
