Tauren Poole

StunnA N' Orange · 02-20-2007, 03:43 AM

Based on watching his videos on Rivals, he reminds me so much of Travis Stephens in his running style.. Granted he's about 3 inches taller, and should be bigger, but he looks to be a good one.. He breaks tackles just like him, he has that quickness and dangerous first step he had, and then he has the same burst Travis showed in the open field.. If you havn't seen his videos, your really missing out.

I thought the same thing, the only thing that really bothered me about him was his 40.

Yeah, but it should improve alot this summer.. Let's see what he runs in the 40 in the spring or summer. Most of the time, there times go down given they have had a year to improve them. We'll see tho.

Im not familiar with what the rest of the class of 08 has to offer but it looks as if Poole might be around the top of the class for running backs... does anyone know where he is ranked?

Rivals did not list him in their 250 to watch for 2008...I still think he'll end up a 4-star.

4 star works for me

We only have 1 player that is in the top 250 but 3 of the 5 should be for sure.

Also, those tapes of Tauren are from his sophmore year. He had a monster season last year.. When they see some recent footage and if he has a good camp this summer, I can see him being a top 100 player or at least 250.

Poole looking around
Stephens County running back Tauren Poole calls his commitment Tennessee “soft,” adding, “I’m still looking around a little bit.”
Poole continues to listen to overtures from Alabama, Auburn, Clemson and Georgia Tech.

not even June and UT's top prospect is getting edgy. the rat's always know when to get off the ship before the crew does.

This is old news...and he's not our top prospect.

Yeah, Arron Douglas has one more star, but when you stop to consider how little the TE position has been utilized at UT, and how badly the Vols need a dominant RB, I'd have to say Poole is the one current commit that UT most needs to hang onto.

I'd say Lennon Creer fills the need for running back quite nicely...that's not to say that we don't need Poole. I hope we hang onto him.

Douglas and Johnson may be bigger commitments.

I think that this class resembles our last recruiting class. We're laying an early foundation with solid prospects from all across the southeast, and we're involved with lots of high-profile players from all across the country. I think this will end up as another top 10 class nationally.

I would imagine so, based on the history.

Where do you guys get your information on who we are recruiting actively, i dont want to get any subscription services, but i cant find any info otherwise

**hvwarrior58** · 05-10-2007, 06:41 PM

I really don't think we land Poole in the end but it is no big deal. We only plan on taking 1, maybe 2, RBs. Chris Jordan could be one. There are a few others that, imo, are better than Poole looking at us.
