'25 GA RB Justin Baker (Tennessee commit)

[swchandler1988]

There will be some guys blow up during the season at RB that we've never heard of at this point. We will be ok at RB for this class. Especially if we flip Morris. It's one of the reasons I love recruiting so much. A kid can jump on the scene out of nowhere.

Or maybe blow up after they change position like Arion Carter switching from RB to LB then gaining enough attention for the Bama defensive coordinator to be sitting at Carters HS in his car in the rain begging Carter to not commit to UT. Still warms my heart thinking about that

So ready to see some BA LBers.

 

[swchandler1988]

Wtf. That Carter clip was removed from Twitter

@85SugarVol can we take a running back now?

Nothing wrong with the Coaches pursuing better “fit”… we just don’t need two (2).

 

[85SugarVol]

Whoever it is, we need 2 backs this class whether that's Freshman or transfers.

Sampson will be in the NFL next year. Left with Seldon, Lewis, Bishop, Keith (if he's here).

We’re allowed to take another one in the ‘26 class. And we’re in on one of the best in the country.

 

[BabyGirlVol]

False. Everyone says that about WR as well and how did last year turn out. We need elite backs and playmakers to be the best. Never settle for average.

Of course it’s better to have elite backs, I’m just stating that our scheme helps.

 

[vol_in_ga]

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say this guy sticks with the good guys. I don’t see us letting him walk away easily without a better option in the bag already.

 

[Go Fight Win]

I agree, we juice up the bag here. Really need baker and one other

So why did he just all of a sudden take a visit in July?

One of the coaches at UNC probably reached out and asked him to come check things out. That’d be my guess.

Don’t like it that he took it. Should have told them no.

 

[INDEFENSE]

I believe the coaches have already determined he is a fit and his highlights look good so I'm not sure what the problem is here. Damn, sometimes it's like we just can't have good things. If you aren't happy with a commit , that's your business but lets not talk down a current commit, never understood this thinking.

success can breed greed.

 

[ptgrbn]

I actually wouldn’t be sad.

Good player, but better guys out there.

But what if he ends up as Justin Baker the Touchdown Maker. I think we’d regret losing him then

What are the chances some current commits to other schools waiver if their chosen school has a poor season while we're making the playoffs?

But you never settle, we want the best backs we can get. Tennessee has a great history of great running backs and we need to get that back. Always strive for the best! GBO

There will be other names that pop up during the season.

 

[Frankwillie87]

He would have been stupid not to. What if Heupel, Sims, and Danny White are in a plane crash tomorrow?

What if we drop him?

What if NIL makes a mistake and he doesn't get paid?

He needs a backup plan and he probably got paid to make the visit anyways.

Akalyn Dear.

That’s the only one I can think of that would be worth it.

Idk. I do think you could see some staff’s like say a Florida make a change at the top and then who knows? ESD and the nil rights kind of rained on the late swaps a bit. Be interesting to see what happens to Ohio State’s class if Day pisses down his leg this year against Michigan.

I'm curious about LSU's class if they struggle this year.

 

[allvolrecruiting]

Kid takes a visit after nine months of drama free commitment and everyone freaks out lol. Good players get interest until they run out of eligibility

 

[volKano]

Exactly. He is not a fallback offer. Who would take a commit over a year before signing day if he wasnt a take? He has offers from Bama, uga, Michigan, USC etc.
