Which Vol Legacy will choose to go elswhere

[jasonvol18]

If bates tackles like his dad did, it might not be a bad thing if he goes somewhere else.

Cant be serious

The Berrys boys are money in the bank, Bates might not come.hmy:

Agree about the twins. Dont see why some dont feel we get Bates. His Dad and he want him to go through the process since it only happens once in their lifetime and something alot of players never experience. Have a great feeling and belief we get the Vol Legacy.

 

[jasonvol18]

If I'm putting myself in the kids' place, and I think I'm that good, I'm not positive I wanna follow daddy's trail. I might want to make my own.

He could still make his own path at UT and try to do it even better! Hope so, we need LB's bad, especially ones with his bloodlines.

Berry's live breath and feed UT they have a Smokey pup for God sakes. Idk how much Bates is UT tho and growing up in Florida might have something to do with this but the Berry's would have to live up to Eric and idk if anyone will ever do that again.

Im sure EB explained to them that they dont have to live up to his legacy and each can create their own while at UT!

Bill Bates would hit you like a truck...He got ran over by easily the greatest RB in college history....ONE play, He had a great pro career and lead the Cowboys in broken helmets for about 10 years.

 

[LotteryPick]

Bates is VFL.

 

[AV_12]

Twins

 

[Vol_Doc]

Berrys, too much hype to live up to

I could see this. Hard to walk in the footsteps of a legend. Would love to have them here, though!

 

[smokey0625]

What a crap thread.

 

[GAVol]

Well, it seems as if all bill bates is remembered for is being ran over by Herschel. Which is embarrassing and inexcusable.

He tackled Hershel Walker the way you tackle logic.

 

[Biopsyman]

Good

A lot of people got run over by Hershel Walker

 

[VolPride14]

Cedric Wilson Jr.

Whoa! scorcher. Hershel Walker was pretty good though. Pickens on defense, now that was a bad tackler, but a helluva player and one of my favourites

 

[Spawn]

Will probably get torched for this, but since recruiting is going well right now, why come up with negative topics such as who will be the first not to pick us.

I guess some people always stay in the negative zone

Usually I try to stay out of the name calling click but I can not just set back on this one.....you are a peckerheaded troll without an ounce of intelligence in that peckerofahead!:finger3:

 

[MountaineerVol]

I get a bad feeling about Bates.

Bates might be the next to commit. No reason to think he wont. I think the Berrys are the ones we dont get. And it's not that they dont like Tennessee, but the fact that their dad played here AND their brother actually hurts us. There are huge shoes to fill and by all reports, they are not quite up to where Eric was. Not to say they aren't great, but expectations of having 2 Eric Berry's on the field is a tough order to fill. Better to go elsewhere and have fans just happy to have 2 average-above average players.

 

[1982Alum]

The Travis Henry boys; all of them. They are starting their own college team.

 

[Los-Osis]

Obviously you never watched him play. I bad tackle, Rest of the time a true headhunter. GBO:lolabove:

 

[jasonvol18]

Twins

They will absolutely be Vols now that we have the new staff. Under Dooley probably not.

That's the sperm that won? How could anyone be so retarded?

 

[ManningBerry#1]

One play against best running back in the sec history and he is labeled as bad tackled..smh, face palm...Bates was not fast but would hit like truck. C'mon man..

Exactly!

 

[Biopsyman]

Also a hellava good cook
