'21 TN OLB Junior Colson (Michigan commit)

[UT = Checkmate]

I would take him and Mondon. F Michigan.

 

[INDEFENSE]

My guess is no if we get Mondon.

 

[govols1717]

Callahan on 247 thinking we have definitely swung momentum with colson

 

[yourstruly23]

Take em both just in case things get nuts and hope we just have to take five and not lose anyone...

 

[VolFreakJosh]

I think Willis could be moved around, maybe even to a hybrid safety role.

Take all the LBs.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

I agree. I think the thinking is that once things open up and players get to take visits there will be some decommits. If not you start processing.

What Wilber Marshall did to Joe Ferguson is a federal crime these days.

I remember watching and hating they threw a flag on that hit. The game has changed so much.

I agree, I think we should take as many elite guys as possible. Colson is a really good athlete. Need to load up at LB/Edge anyway. Potentially having Henry T., Crouch, Willis, Lewis, Eason in the middle for 2 years is going to be nice for a change.

 

[benholt06]

They are loading up and worrying about numbers later

“My thing is that my kids all go to a University of Michigan game in the Big House,” Mrs. Colson said proudly. “That’s something that I’ve done with each of our kids so far, usually when they’re in high school. And (last summer) I thought, ‘if he’s going to go to all of these camps, he needs to go the University of Michigan camp’s just for the experience. It’s The University of Michigan!”

“Our (message) is pretty much the same for any of the schools,” Mrs. Colson said. “’We don’t really care where you play on Saturdays, and we don’t really care how expensive it is to get there. We’re going to be there. And that’s really pretty much that simple. We’ll find a way to get there. I have plenty of vacation time, so if I have to take Friday off to drive or to fly that’s just what we’re going to do.”

Tennessee is working hard to make those weekend trips as short as possible. His bond with the staff in Knoxville is a major lure.

“The linebacker coach is great,” Mrs. Colson said. “I know he’s only going to be at school for three or four years, but I certainly don’t want him with a coach that I think they’re going to (clash). And I feel like the linebacker coach is probably a really good fit for Junior.”

Seems Michigan bound.

Mom seems to be pushing for Michigan.

Great parents. Not only for adopting him but having the right attitude about his recruitment. You can tell they would love for him to be at Michigan but they ultimately just want him to be happy and in a good situation. If he decides to go to Michigan, then good for them. That's one recruitment that will be handled the right way.

 

[yourstruly23]

I wish I could take every Friday off in the fall and fly or drive to anywhere in the country and not care how expensive it is

 

[Wickman]

It’s the University of Michigan, an underachieving historically great program that’s only real difference is it’s colder and their coach is a head case

He’ll be fired before too long any way.

 

[avolation]

Is mom gonna drive him to and from his dorm room and classes when there’s a -15 windchill hitting him in the face?

 

[escapegoat2]

If Mondon commits to us, then is Colson even a take at that point? Feel like we have other needs outside of a 5th LB in this class.

100% agree

I only work Monday through Thursday but the latter part of that quote would be nice

 

[LittleVol]

Sounds like we have a shot. A real shot.

He's a helluva player. But we have two dynamite ILBs that are committed us already. I'll say it again, both of thise kids will play at 230 lbs and run like the wind.

Colson could play OLB too in our base scheme. I'm all for him being a Vol! But we're good regardless. 19,20, and so far 21 LB recruiting has been amazing!

 

[turnuptheVOLtage]

Sounds like she’s trying to justify him picking UT. Let’s get em

I kinda took it that way too. Hey, “I’m ALL Michigan” buuuut.

 

[volbeast33]

He's one of my all time favorite Vols. Always gave his best. You need to watch the 1992 game at South Carolina where we lost but not because of him. He put that team on his back culminating in a catch and run late in the game where he ran through 8 SC players before he scored. We went for 2 to win rather than tie (strange for Majors who usually was willing to take the tie) and Little Man Stewart was stuffed. So that effort is forgotten, but if we had won it would be considered one of the greatest plays in Tennessee history.

That’s bc Johnny was coaching for his job he got fired after that game.
