After reading jmoore's post, this kid seems to have a "me" attitude and will be hard to coach. I may be reading to much into it but, "

"My decision will come down to how much they want me and what's good for me,"Rumph said."

How much we want him? Whats good for him? How about how much he wants to be a VOL and what can he do for the team.

He doesnt have time to sit the bench, he needs to go to a place where he can play early, so yea he does need to do what's best for him (just like any prospect) also whats wrong with feeling wanted?

Nothing wrong with being wanted (unless it's an FBI list). As for early playing time, he has a long list of proven, and yet to be proven receivers that he would have to beat out. Croom - Pig - and Bowles just to name a few. And I may have misread his statement, but it sure sounded like what could we do for him, rather than what he could do for UT. Nothing wrong with being a bit selfish. Self centered is a different story.

Used I and me 14 times and only referenced t e a m 1 time (and that only pertained to being on a winning t e a m). Me thinkst he hath had too much smoke blown up his rear.
He doesn't appear to have the talent of DaRick for CDD to put up with another DaRick.

"Not a lot," he said when asked if he's talking to LSU. "I haven't been talking to them much."

Rumph (6-4, 195) said he's talking more to Arkansas, Tennessee, South Carolina, Kansas and Georgia at the present. South Carolina became the latest school to offer earlier this month.

Fortenberry over on VQ also said Rumph is someone that Tennessee is pursuing very hard in the JUCO ranks.

Stewart and Rumph are 1 and 1a for JUCO WRs we are pursuing. Comas is behind them.

Yet the staff already considers Comas a commitment according to VQ.

Doesn't make much sense. Rumph & Stewart are easily better WR's right now than Comas, only thing Comas has on them is that he has 3 years left to play.

There's no rule against taking 3 JUCO WRs. Also, as is, we will have no JR WRs next year.

No rule on it but we still have a long way to go until Feb. & we are still in on a few good WR's. If we win some games this year we will become factors for a lot more guys. I think we are a real factor for Paul Harris & a dark horse for Marquez North.

Then you add in Josh Smith who will not be asked to look around & then possibly Patrick.

Will be interesting to see how many WRs Dooley takes

We are going to take 4 to 5 WRs in this class. Next year's WRs look like this:

SR - Hunter (NFL?)
SR - Rogers (NFL?)
SR - Patterson (NFL?)

JR - (Rumph)
JR - (Stewart)

SO - Croom
SO - Bowles
SO - Howard
SO - (Comas)

FR - (Patrick)
FR - (Smith)
FR - (Harris)

JMO but I think we take 4 at the max, even if we end up taking 25 in this class I don't see us taking 5 WR's.

I also don't see all 3 of Patterson, Hunter, & Rogers going pro. IMO at least 1 of those will come back.

I don't either, but the on-field performance of CP, DR, and JH will determine how many WRs we take.
