'19 TN RB Eric Gray

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Many were hoping we would get a steal here or there. We hoped for a top 5 class , not top 20. That is the only way to catch up to the Alabama's and Georgia's long term.

Top 5 will come..this class will be at the forefront of eliminating losing to the Vandys, Mizzous and Kentuckys of the world..once that happens...top 5 WILL come. We have to leapfrog the bottom of the SEC before we can get back to the top..that is just a fact of our existence at this point.

This would be a huge pickup. Been watching this kid at Lausanne and he's legit.

Let's tap the brakes just a hair. This kid has a lot of potential and we're all excited about him. But let's not compare him to possibly the most athletic and versatile RB in the world.

Oh, I know. But that potential..

If Gray picks somewhere else this place will be like

Banks was 4 star.

Banks was 4 star.

Point?

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Point?

Let's not get carried away. Banks is not viewed as well today as he was when he signed and everyone was posting "Boom"."Boom" should be reserved for 5 stars, 4 stars should get a "Aight".

I’m still booming about Banks..

You're high, Banks is a stud and did very well as a FRESHMAN. I swear people.

BANKS


Banks was a fringe 4-star on Rivals, but Gray is unanimously considered a better RB coming out of high school.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Anybody that was hoping for a top 5 class coming off 5-7 and getting skulldrug by Mizzou and Vandy, we’re setting up theirself for disappointment.

Our coaches are good recruiters not miracle workers.

There are still many here hoping the remaining signee's will take us to top 5. I'm not one of them, I still believe we may drop from 17th.

[BigOrangeMojo]

This dude is Kamara-esque.. one of my top booms when he signs later!

He's going to Maryland to get 8 carries per game en route to a Hall of Fame NFL career?

Seriously? Banks is viewed extremely well and is going to play a huge role on our team in the coming years.

 

[shoney]

I think Banks is going to be a great player. He just needs to get mentally tough, focused. He's too emotional, once he slows things down he will be great.

Remember, if recruits don't become all American's as freshman they are BUSTS!

The emotion is what’s been missing from this team.. He brings a fire that is contagious.

I believe Banks will be a solid contributor to this team as a RB if his fumbling issues can be corrected which I believe resulted from his aggressive running style. I do not like him as a LB. He was not viewed well by many others here during the course of the 2018 season because of the fumbling issues. I was on the record that he had the most upside of any of the other running backs on our roster but was lambasted for several days when I made that post.
