He's borderline "elite" imo. All corners get beat from time-to-time... just ask the Bama & Georgia corners who were torched by Tillman. If we were a championship contender and had more publicity I think Taylor would be strongly considered for All-American.I personally haven’t witnessed him giving up many plays. I wonder how much he’s given up compared to other top corners
Other than the Ole Miss game, where he played almost the entire game with an injury and was noticeably limping between plays, I haven't seen him get beat either.... not saying it doesn't happen, but it seems to me that he's playing extremely well.Haven’t noticed? What? I see him getting burnt or turned around every game.
Our defense gives up a lot of plays. If he's giving up a couple per game...then that isn't a lot. He's certainly not the one offenses seem to pick on. I see Flowers on the screen a lot. I see Beasley a lot. I see Burrell getting beat several times. By comparison...I don't see Taylor as much.Haven’t noticed? What? I see him getting burnt or turned around every game.
Out of curiosity, why is Jordan James wanting to go to Georgia where they already have a crowded RB room? I mean, is he wanting to sit his first couple of years and save himself the wear and tear? Or is he just that confident he'll earn early playing time? Georgia is working with a stacked deck at the position.There’s been some dialogue between Kody and both Jordan James and Horton at Oakland. Kody is testing the waters with recruiting them to UT. As a coach at the school, I don’t think they will flip but seems like goods news for the good guys regarding Jones.

Excited about Jones likely joining the class. I don’t think James would flip at all and that’s okay - I like Justin Williams. I keep forgetting all about Horton. Not sure what the story is there
That's the impression I had, as well. I thought we stopped recruiting him toward the end before his commitment. Seems like we chose Nimrod over him, IIRC.Honestly, I’d take Williams to go with Sampson and be done at RB. I like Williams more than James and at least as much as Hayden. I don’t get the feeling the staff was high on Horton.
-WiltfongI'm expecting Germantown (Tenn.) High four-star athlete Kody Jones to take his official the first weekend of December. Five-star Walter Nolen expected then as well.
None of his family or those who accompany him on his visits went with him on his visit last Saturday and he left at halftime of the game with little if any interaction with Coaches.I will be surprised if he follows through with his scheduled Official visit.If he does visit when Kody Jones ( close friend ) does in early December,then I will have a different view on his interest in Tennessee .Right now I do not think he has much interest in Tennessee especially since he has some strong links with many Texas A&M recruits and is in fact actively recruiting for A&M as I type this.Didn’t Nolen go to UT this past weekend as well…. That has to be at least a decent sign.
