Posted via VolNation Mobile | Yeah, but just because he says that doesn't mean coaches will stop recruiting him, his family, and HS coaches. Until the LOI is signed I wouldn't get my hopes up if I was a fan of any of these teams.

| Best of luck to the guy but I'm glad this charade about him going any where else but the Barn is over. |

| Not supprised, If Peyton Manning were from TN we probably wouldn't have landed him either. We can't keep the top guys in-state. This one really sucks because we are in major need of an elite RB. | |

I think AK would be a great fit for our offense...can run the ball very well, but even better is that he has great hands and would be a nightmare for a LB to cover coming out of the backfield. JMO...don't flame baby avy cuz he still believes that we have a legit shot with AK. Posted via VolNation Mobile | |

Don't think anyone is being overly dramatic enough to find a bridge to leap off of, but as a UT fan it is bothersome when you go 0 for 2 against conference rivals for a position of need such as RB.

We didn't get anyone more highly touted but I think the guys we did get like Young will have more success then Kimbrow. It is disappointing but I really think after we have a solid year that next year you will see us pick and choose the instate talent we want to take. | |

We really need to show a running game this fall. We will take two | What about Turman? He seems every bit as talented and ranked right there with Dye. Would love Turman and one of the others mentioned as our 2. | |

Really, just the normal banter, but following a commitment to another school. | |
