'22 TN RB Jordan James (Oregon commit)

[ACvol3]

He wasn't a take because we wanted experience at RB if we took a 3rd RB

And he’s not better than the high school guys we signed

Agreed

 

[butchna]

Never shared the urgency in this recruitment…or Dallan Hayden’s for that matter. There were always equal/better options available and I think they were signed. Feel the same about Arch Manning. Could be chalked up to we were never in on any of these names but that’s really not the case.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

the reason that Tennessee turns kids to anywhere other than Tennessee is a problem deeper than just not being good. Jeremy, Dooley, and Butch was an ******* and pissed a lot of people off.

Fyp

 

[Weezer]

Lil dishonest. Can’t flip what wasn’t an option.

I'm wondering if UGA wasn't really an option considering they did pick up another RB in this class. Or did UGA just like this kid better?

My impression was that they thought Williams was a better back FOR US in that style group and that Sampson has some change of pace features to add to the mix. I wish we had enough room to add him when he got short sheeted by GA, but it will take a real difference maker to get them to tie up another ship' on that side of the ball.

Thought the wall had that proverbial writing when Branson Robinson committed but your point is even more relevant. It’s on him not connecting the dots.

 

[NighthawkVol]

I think this is the case with a lot of kids, but a lot of fans still get pissed because they think we should take every 4/5* out there. There’s more to it than their ranking..

Yep. He’s not that good.

UGA wanted Gibbs over a HS RB so they told James to wait and he looked around while they didn't talk to him. After UGA didn't care enough about him to keep contact during that looking around process, he went elsewhere

This... There are a ton of good RBs out there and, unfortunately for the RB, modern offenses don't 'go through' the RB.

Wish someone would tell the titans that….

Jordan James isn’t Derrick Henry.

Classic case of kid not coming here and suddenly, "he's not that good"

Everybody on here wanted him before he committed to UGA

Didn't realize people wanting or not wanting a kid to come to their school determined whether he is 'good' or not. Apparently Georgia didn't want him either. Your hot takes are horrible by the way.

Are you slow?

 

[Volfansince1980]

So one guy is everybody. Only drooling mouthbreather I see is you.

 

[johnfnkelly]

Apparently the reigning national champ passing on a kid is a good indicator on if he's a good player or not. Delusional.

If you're slow then say that. No shame.

Kirby was probably pissed when Gibbs went to Bama but I’d wager that him and Saban have a gentleman’s agreement not to turn each other in

Where are the Titans playing this weekend?.....

Henry is a generational talent. That said, I'll take a Joe Burrow over Derrick Henry to build my team around all day long and twice on Sunday.

Joe burrow is great and having a great QB is very important no doubt but whichever great QB takes a salary cut like Tom Brady did throughout his career so that a team can keep good players around him is the guy I want, also why are we comparing a QB to a RB?

You would have to read my previous posts to understand why I went there.

You’re not speaking for EVERYBODY. Didn’t feel the slightest angst when he passed on us.

Umm that was my point.

Offenses are not running the ball anymore hence why I said I wish the titans would learn that….
