'21 NC RB Jaylen Wright (Tennessee signee)

[MiramarVol]

If his speed is accurate, then we are going to have one of the fastest teams in history lol

You must not have watched the video of him running the 55m on the other page. There's no if, once you watch that.

 

[T Dog]

BOOM! Love the speed we are going to have!

 

[walkenvol]

Wright finished the 2020 indoor track season ranked 2nd nationally in the 55m (6.25) and tied for 2nd in the 60m (6.72).

If you ain’t first your last!

 

[griddie]

Ok. I hope you're right. You convinced me

When we recruit a kid from out of state, it's always a concern when the top schools haven't offered. If they did, I missed it.

Thanks for the feedback

They’ve offered the kid just wants a top track program as well. Those three backs are top notch. Rare to have three that good in a year and Edmonds is no slouch. UNC will end up with him. State is the one that’s screwed the pooch. Losing a legacy in Shipley, losing Wright to UT, and Edmonds to UNC. Not good at all for them.

The thing is look at how big and thick he is. Not a small dude at all for that speed.

 

[The Dog]

Speed kills. Love this kid. When UT is at their best, they own North Carolina in recruiting or at least, pop shot the best players from there, especially western Carolina. UT is like those kids dream school, back in the day, like Shuler and Pickens. Lockdown that state again, with the way Charlotte is booming, Raliegh/Durham (our boy, JWright), and those western, border kids, UT reaps the benefits. Oh yeah, I almost forget about the NC kid that is putting his footprint back down in his home state, for UT, Jay Graham. Since I've been lockdown I have watched a lot of 90s UT videos and Graham showed out. Loved him and still do to this day, will never understand why he wasn't a better pro player. Big with breakaway speed. Anyway, rambling again, in the immortal words of Petey Pablo, "Raise Up" North Carolina.

And for his frame, he can easily get up to 210 and be a complete back

 

[Biggvol]

Boooom!!!

Boom!

Exactly

Exactly

Hey griddie, how are we doing with Dillsworth (sorry if I butchered or completely used the wrong name)

With the COVID, you do have to think that the recruiting services are going to be behind on evaluating these kids, especially if there's no senior season. If the quality of our class is dependent upon the quality of evaluation from our staff, then I am COMPLETELY comfortable with what our staff will do. Our staff knows talent when they see it.

yeah, and camp circuits this summer will probably be affected a pretty good bit, if not some/many/most, or some combinatin of, having to be rescheduled or cancelled.....so that will reduce evaluation time by some unknown degree.

hope there is a season this fall....fingers crossed.

good point.

SO we have even more reason to discount the star ratings from recruiting sites? But what if I was already at zero?

no where to go but up?

Josh Ward interviewed Jaylen last night... seems like a good kid:

 

[thunder5]

Kids so fast he makes fast people look slow

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Kids so fast he makes fast people look not fast

Honestly, I think the whole world would benefit if Rivals and 247 just shut down. These kids have turned into such attention seeking prima donnas that it's gotten ridiculous. I would love to see a world where we went back to "Oh, that kid wants to be a Vol? Oh, our coaches wanted him and he wanted us? Sweet, can't wait to see him suit up." This world we live in now of ridiculous expectations and constant games and drama is just not really that fun anymore. That's just my opinion, but coaches need to be judged based on how a class is on the field, not how they are based off of the opinions of guys who aren't true evaluators. And if they were true evaluators, they would be on someone's staff somewhere.

 

[ScottishVol]

Boom!

 

[BigBadVol]

Eww, that's how you contract Covid-19.

I'd take my chances. Plus it would be worth it.

Hey griddie, how are we doing with Dillsworth (sorry if I butchered or completely used the wrong name)

We are still in it but Bama and UNC seem to be at the top right now.

 

[Coach Punk]

Shipley is almost a clone of McCaffrey, I mean it’s incredible.

After watching Panthers games on GamePass and McCaffrey was literally carrying that team on his back, I can only hope he’s that good.
