TN OLB Prince Kollie (Notre Dame transfer)

[tnhunter 10]

Then then slightly smaller schools were in one with North, Unicoi, East, Elizabethton Happy Valley, Johnson County and some others maybe? Then you get even smaller with Cloudland and Hampton and who even knows in that conference.

I graduated from cloudland. Hampton and Cloudland are in different classes now.

Is it possible the string of big offers is gamesmanship?

UGA/LSU etc sees the run we’re on in recruiting, and the guys were in on.... offer this kid to kind of put pressure on us, the in state school, to lock him up?

I've considered this possibility, myself.

It's a possibility, but, regardless, it seems that this kid was one the staff wanted to see in camp before pushing for him. With the way recruiting has been going lately, I'm wondering if he's going to be left out because of a numbers crunch.

You should watch his film.... this kid is deserving of all the attention he is receiving

Who was it that put that song in my head??? I can't not sing it when I read his name!

Does anyone else hear that one song from 'Aladdin' when you say this young man's name?

You're welcome.

 

[SweetasSoda]

You're welcome.

I believe I would prefer Kollie to Colson. I think he's faster, reads the play better and is more physical, but the coaches evals are the important ones. He just looks more versatile and explosive to me.

 

[Frankwillie87]

Vols commits, targets on move in 247Sports Composite
Kid now has 30-something offers from big-time schools. He also is on the verge of being rated a 4-star LB already, after just being ranked by both Rivals and 247. He's a guy that could end up playing his way into this class with a big season and Colson doesn't commit.

Glad I’m not the only one lol

 

[johnfnkelly]

I’d take this kid over colson just off the fact that he looks nearly 30.

I graduated from central 3 years ago. And a lot people not a fan of the new school. Where they are building it is in a awful place. It is on a backroad, and they have had to fill in sinkholes where it being built.

Take Kollie and Colson...two different beasts.

i think if you didn't have Willis and Evans that makes sense.....but we have options at LB now.

that said, i think this kid is one of those that probably would have been noticed in camps....be it college run camps he chose to go to or 3rd party camps....i definitley think this is one pruitt and co. would have, maybe did, have penciled in to keep an eye on when he came to a TN camp.....

siap about the offer list...he's had a huge spring on that front.

as for the gamesmanship angle, that would make more sense had we not already gotten who we did at LB imo.

i think we probably do take 1 more, and i could see a scenario where it's colson or this guy. and i can't say i'd be upset...this kid certainly looks the part...lol.

Take Colson, move Willis to Safety (Use him like McCoulough)

That way you can have Mondon, Colson, Lewis and Brooks at LB. Key and Willis at the Safety Positions. Finally, you potentially have Terrion and Kamar holding down the Cornerback spots and Rucker at star.

you think Willis projects at Safety?? i don't know that i'd do that just to make room for both colson and collie....i thnk willis is a pretty good lb as is...lol. plus you got kamar and rucker in the boat, and you're shooting for Arnold in the secondary as well (corner for him, but the other two can probably play either).

willis as the nickel lb, i guess i could see....?

oh well. 1st world problems i guess.....lol.

I've seem that idea floated around by a couple posters. He's not very big. 5-11/6-0 and 200-210 pounds. He hits like a hammer, but I'm not sure what his coverage skills are like. He looks good as an ILB, to me. But as a SS, maybe he is good enough in coverage to play there and still come down into the box and smash dudes.

I was just saying if we pulled both Mondon and Colson, then you could possibly move Willis to SS in certain scenarios or like you said depending on his coverage skills he could just play there to have your best on the field.

 

[VirginiaCoach]

Kollie at safety?

 

[TitanicVolz]

They ran the conference in basketball but for some reason it didn’t translate to football. For years they couldn’t beat DB.

Man when i was there back in early 2000 they used to mop our asses on the regular lol it was even close most times.We had sum killler fun at the rivalry games I will say that.
