'19 TN RB Eric Gray

[BennesseeVols]

Abrams and raptor

Ann Arbor won't get out of the 30s for the whole week, maybe not until next year. Someone send him the damn weather forecast every day and he will flip faster than a bratwurst at Cankle10 sorority house. That's Da'Rick country up there.

I have asked a few times about whats going on with our RB recruiting but haven't heard anything on what's going on with Gray. Ron, Gucci Hole n the Roof, you guys got anything ? Appreciate it.

From all accounts, were “in a good spot” with Gray which means the staff likely feels confident he’s ours.

Have to say it seems they’re just being very selective with the final few spots.

Gray and Tyrion are the only RBs i like on our board

So why do you think we are offering other RB's? I know nothing is for sure so is this what all this about, just in case?

We dont know if all those offers are committable. But if you watch the film of the RBs they have offered recently, it looks good. I would imagine that they have to have contingency plans.

Totally agree with all of what you said. They do have good film just was wondering cause all the sudden (to us recruit junkies) more RB's are getting offers or we are looking at them. Was just hoping that it wasn't bad news on Gray.

Could be some of the RBs being offered won't play RB at the next level. You never really know what is discussed between coach and recruit.

Because we hired elite recruiters who know if you wait until your top choices say no to approach backup plans? You waited too long. Pruitt has backup plans to backup plans. Last year our staff discovered Jordan Young...lost him and had Tillman ready to sign. Butch had backup contingencies too but Pruitt’s seem more football intelligent.

I think they want 2 RB's this class. Gray and another.

That would go directly against what they told Gray... which would piss me off if I was Gray that they straight lied to me

Doubt they lied to him. If anything Pruitt seems to be honest with recruits. Tells them how it is whether they like it or not.

To be fair... he did say "we're only taking one pure RB" but still haha

Probably meant him and Beasley. And maybe Beasley won't be a Vol? Could be why they're going for another RB.

It makes sense to evaluate current backs and project future needs.
- London is gone after this year
- Fils-Aime is working to get back in the rotation
- Banks could be a LB next year
- Jordan has definitely come on..

Next year Chandler and Jordan are a very solid 1-2, and it could be Chandler’s last year.... Banks is a question mark. We currently don’t have a blue chip running back in the ‘19 fold. Beasley isn’t a difference maker at RB. We need blue chip backs now.

We need 2 difference makers at Running back in the 2019 class.

Those quotes were also before banks to LB possibility. Pretty reasonable reason to tell a kid you may need to take 2 big time guys at rb with banks wanting to play Lb

My Michigan buddy says that most Michigan insiders don’t think Gray stays with them. He is supposed to go Ann Arbor this weekend to see Indiana game. There is talk he won’t make it. If he doesn’t make it in, it means he won’t have seen a single Michigan game. He committed on his OV over the summer.

They also have Charbonnet committed. He was the number 2 pick for the UA game (after Wayna Morris).

I like the sound of that.

A staff that can actually be selective with the final few spots.......i can dig that first time in long time

Doug Matthews thinks he winds up at UT.
