Yeah, ask your mom. :p

Seriously if we are graduating the starting RB I thought UT would at least be on a few players list in the Rivals top 100. UT isn't being considered by any RB's in the Rivals top 100 I saw. Has Creer done enough that we wouldn't try to recruit another top back? With, Coker dismissed, Foster graduating, and Hardesty injury-prone, UT would be looking to land a top prospect at RB.

coker wasn't a 5 star... 4*. Arian Foster was a 3*.

Lennon Creer, Tauren Poole are the two leaders. we have recruited Toney Williams and Dominique Allen for RB/FB. Jarvis Giles who is a top 100 back has us as our leader. I think we are going to be fine at running back for a few more years at least.

Good info. Coker was the #2 RB in the nation when UT signed him. 4.3 40. Really hated to see him get dismissed.
LaMarcus Coker - Football Recruiting

Creer was #6 looks like

Poole #16

UT is in the lead for Jarvis Giles, a top 100 player. We are also in very good with David Oku, another top 100 player. There are also a couple of other backs we are recruiting. Also, don't forget about T. Poole who has been impressive so far.
There are threads about the backs UT is looking at in this forum.

That doesn't make any sense.

How many players has UT recruited as an "athlete" in the last 10 years who ended up starting a game at RB? I can't think of one...

Not sure if Hardesty has started a game, but he was an athlete. From everything I've read, Wingo is a RB. Also, Oku isn't an athlete incase that confused you.

guys this class is not going to be the rumored 16-20 prospects...it's going to be maxd out at 25 and with the amount of high profile prospects interested in us this early it would not be a surprise if we over sign...

there is no rule to my knowledge that says we can't sign 2 highly ranked RB's. we have the space and the need and we are high on several prospects list

-Jiles is as good as ours according to most
-we are no worse than 3rd with oku who gave his visit to UT a 9.5
-Montrell Conner has us in his top 3
-Ronnie Wingo is visiting injune
-Gabe hunter is in state

we are in very very good shape at RB as far the 09 recruiting class goes. I'm tired of the pessimism...get over your 08 hangover already

He started against Florida in 2006, I believe.

I like to see a tandem at RB like UT has had in the past. Cobb/Webb, Lewis/Henry, Henry/Stephens, Houston/Riggs, Riggs/Foster, etc.

Seems like UT has had success that way. Creer looks good, not that big on Hardesty, he seems injury prone. Would just like to see UT land another top back like they did when they picked up Coker. Someone they could redshirt and team up with Creer when Hardesty graduates.
