'20 JUCO RB Zaquandre White

[bpalmer28]

Assuming Ty Chandler does not leave, do we even need a second back? Only 2 are getting reps really right now anyway. Plus we'll finally have a bigger back with hodge coming in.

Looking at 2021 we're currently in-line to have just two RBs on scholarship; Gray and Hodge. Unless we're planning on relying on freshmen to get a lot of carries in 2021, this is a very important class for RBs.

White sat out the last 2 games due to a knee injury and missed a 3rd game earlier due to illness, but he's been impressive in 6 starts: 89 carries for 704 yards (7.9 ypc) and 6 TDs.

Wouldn't that be the same situation we are in now(ish). A junior, a sophomore, and a freshman?

I'm completely fine taking a calculated risk here. High-risk / high-reward scenario.

I hope this kid becomes a Vol.

Ehhhhhhhhh

This is quality posting. The rest of you guys should take notes.

Ain’t gonna learn French for this bunch.

Basically, but is it wise to plan on relying on a true freshman?

My point is that we have an opportunity to prevent that from being a problem, so it'd be nice to capitalize and create some depth.

I know this has been stated, but, Wow! we are in quite the Zaquandare here.

Zaquandre White looks good. What's the latest?

 

[orangemadam]

Who is Zaquandra White?

Are we interested in him?

 

[butchna]

Did I step into the Jeremy Banks thread?

Zoquandre or whatever his name is didn’t commit yet.

 

[orangemadam]

Zaquandra is all VOL



Did anybody hear me?

 

[VolSummitt44]

And you give as good as you get.

Hope you're right.

We definitely need his size to go along with Hodge...because I have a feeling Pruitt will turn Hodge into a LB.

 

[Pane di mais]

If the guy wants to stay on offense he better steer clear of Jeremy Pruitt.

That's my coach.

 

[LA Vol]

It's down to UT and SCAR. We get his last visit-- the w/e of 12/13-- and he's bringing his family with him. He'll be at SCAR this coming weekend. Will sign in Dec and enroll in Jan.

We want another RB.

Backup plan to Whitehead or unrelated?

Whitehead could be a LB/RB. So depending on how it shakes out, we could potentially take both and use them differently. Doesn't seem like we'll have the room, though.

Big time. Big Time. Big Time. Take Whitehead as an ATH and make it work

Lol spell check got me with juice and judo. Nice

I thought it was some hip, new, millennial slang. I was bout to use it in a post myself.
GBO!!

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Our Olines starting to block better. I'm just waiting for a back to do the work of taking a 20 yard gain, making the guy miss, and housing a long touchdown.

I’m guessing the Vandy game made you happy?
GBO!!

 

[RiseToTheTop]

would be a good get i think.

I see nothing in this guy that indicates he can help us beat Alabama, Florida or Georgia. He flamed out as a running back at FSU and was moved to linebacker. He put up pedestrian numbers in JUCO. He‘s had injury issues and has shown that he can be a significant troublemaker.

If we want to take retreads, we’ll never get to where we want to be. With that said, if Pruitt and Chaney like him, then so be it.
