'19 GA OLB Roman Harrison (Tennessee signee)

[chargervol]

I mentioned the NT was a big body at a vital spot. I haven’t dogged this commitment, just not feeling a need to defend it. Coaches know what their types look and play like. And I never uttered “striking out”.

No you didn't.
But Hillbilly sure slammed the point home and you quoted him and just put a period.

Usually that means someone agrees completely, guess I misunderstood.

No...I misread something in his post and posted an “a-ha!” that fizzled. Can’t delete our posts so I fired into the air.

Haha, makes sense.

You have to give Levi Wallace to Smart tho.

he never played when Smart was there. He got scholarship in Pruitts first yr that fall.

Pruitt was DC at UGA when he enrolled. His early development falls under Smart’s watch. If you read his story, HE had the biggest impact on himself following his dad’s path. How undrafted free agent CB Levi Wallace developed his fighter's mentality to honor his father

Ya'll is incorrect, I think you meant y'all?

I use swype, but good try

 

[VolForLife83]

We fired Butch and Dooley. Feel free to join us when you’re ready. :good!:

Not the question, but same outcome

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Not sure about taking this player so early....

same mistake Butch would have made. I know y'all wont want to hear it but, Butch took guys too early. Course Butch wasnt a coach.

I'd be worried if Pruitts forte was not defense, but his forte is exactly that defense. So I think we are okay here.

I trust our Coach's over message board poster.

You say that bout butch to? Lol

A look at Harrison’s film shows just how good of a football player he can be. He has the perfect combination of power and finesse, and he uses it wonderfully to defeat blockers. He changes direction swiftly and is a sure tackler. He has a wide variety of pass rushing moves, and he does a good job of switching them up to keep the opposition off guard. He is physically very gifted, but also very technically sound. It is very clear that he is playing out of position in high school. In college he projects as a hybrid, edge type defender. If used properly, he has the potential to become a breakout star. Tennessee may have been one of the first schools to realize this, but many others are going to catch on soon, especially now that he’s committed to the Vols. His recruitment could really blow up during his senior season.

Under the radar!

IIRC, Sutton was a 3* as was Dan Williams. IMHO, UT has had more success with "diamonds in the rough" than getting 5* players who were actual 5* players. This kid looks like a really good athlete for his size.

Another test for Pruitt. If he's the right guy then he'll find and develop guys like this.

Plain as your prom date that you were lumping faith in Pruitt’s evaluations with Dooley’s and Butch’s and that we’re suckers for thinking his are better. :hmm:

To what? His face? To your mom? Quit talking in riddles. :blink:

Good point here. Our success rate with 5*s is not great over the last ten years or so.

I’m not worried about this take at all. Pruitt’s track record speaks for itself.

What about Devin Bush?

I love Bush and hope UT gets Bush. Hopefully, I can guote the immortal words of Booger in "Revenge of the Nerds", "we got Bush, we got Bush"

Per Witfog on 247, he spoke to a next level source about Harrison who told him he has huge upside and Pruitt envisions him growing into Courtney Upshaw type player at DE

Sheeesh

What color?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Hopefully this is another diamond in the rough type.

"Cam Sutton was a 3 star"

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

What color?

Slightly orangish

 

[butchna]

Slightly orangish

Kinda like you, huh? Old enough for a colonoscopy?

Even in our best recruiting classes, about half of our signees are usually 3 stars. They aren’t all going to be kids that Bama and UGA are after.

I get that, but according to Pruitt himself, we better be going after the same exact players that UGA and Bama are going after.
