'19 TN RB Eric Gray

[LouderVol]

i think you gotta take 2 if you take Crouch as he wants to be more defensive.

 

[Catbone]

Yep

 

[bignewt]

Beasley. Rb.

 

[jakez4ut]

[Coach Punk]

Agreed.

I thought Crouch wanted to play defense in college?

 

[volfanCLT]

Beasley offense.
Crouch defense.

Let us.

 

[AaronUT]

You take Crouch, just because.
You let him play RB or LB, just because.
That is all.

Beasley offense.
Crouch defense.

Let us.

This. I'm sure crouch will be fine on either side.

But as a LB.... oof. He's a bad man.

Beasley is pretty versatile and a lot depends on how fills out his frame.

Vols and Gray have spoke this week. Gray and TN still very much an option.

I thought he was too small for what this staff wanted. What is his weight?

Gray is legit talent. A definite take.

5-10 191lbs according to 247. Not too small imo.

 

[dyllisvol42]

5-10 191lbs according to 247. Not too small imo.

Not for a defensive back.

 

[Johncarter53]

Not for a defensive back.

5-10 is a little short for defensive back. For what it’s worth, Alabama has a RB committed who’s listed at 5-9 185.

 

[SugarCC]

I've never heard Pruitt say he doesn't like smaller backs and won't recruit them, not once. Anyone else ever heard him say this, or anything of the sort?

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Michigan is a dumpy cold state and the football program is crap right now. Really a weird situation up there with Harbaugh.

I think if we gave the kid a green light, he’d be in. He’s got talent and is another tie to Memphis, which never hurts.

Assuming his current size is accurate, 5’10” 195lbs at 17-18 could easily be 5’11+ 200+ by 20.

 

[bignewt]

Size is not an issue at RB for this kid. Get him and Crouch at LB.

Gray led Lausanne to a 26-23 win over Whitehaven last night, rushing for 4 TDs. Haven't found his final stats but he had 160 yards on 15 carries in the 1st half. Entered the game averaging 16.7 yards per carry (569 yards & 6 TDs on 34 carries in 1st 2 games). Rushed for 3,151 yards and 45 TDs last year and is on track to break the state record for career rushing touchdowns (114).

That's an impressive win and showing. Whitehaven is loaded.

Just became one of my biggest “wants” in this class based on his affiliation with St Judes alone.

Hope we find a way to fit him, despite all our holes.

This. I'm sure crouch will be fine on either side.

Beasley is pretty versatile and a lot depends on how fills out his frame.

They won’t know % what position he’ll play here (if he commits) until they get out on the practice field, I’m sure Pruitt will play him in both spots then they will decide where he fits best.

I did not see this last night. That is impressive. Whitehaven has more D1 talent. Really surprises me. I am actually standing on Lausanne’s field right now for a soccer clinic.

I would guess Gray would really consider UT if we wanted him. I thought he had a family member with a health issue, too, but I can’t say that for sure.
