Tonight, he set the state record for career rushing yards. Entire state. Over 4,000 yards on the career. That's impressive, I don't care what level of competition it is. Glad he ours!
Not quite right, but he still put on a show tonight:
All-state running back Rocky Reid had the best game of his record-setting career as the Concord Spiders rolled the Cox Mill Chargers in high school football Friday 62-20.
Reid, who has committed to Tennessee, rushed for 368 yards and five touchdowns on 25 carries. He broke Cabarrus County records for rushing yards in a game and a career (6,583).

I would be pretty disappointed if we told this kid to look elsewhere. I would think others would be lower on the list of need than Rocky.
I literally was just thinking this. I know we offered him and took his commitment, but we were looking at others as well. Kamara will be great to have for most likely two years.
Rocky is perfect type of back that we need to go with the other RBs. We need this big back who can carry the load all night if he has to. His speed is good enough, vision is great. Runs hard and seems to be a great kid. I really want this kid on the team. Now if he chooses to go elsewhere on his own, so be it. I'll be bummed out but that's just how recruiting goes.
I think CBJ and CRGizzle really like his game.
Does anybody think we are trying to get Frasier or Love and possibly make it to where Rocky sees all the Backs and just drops on his own?!

You still want big stiff Henry? Or do you want the style of Backs UT is recruiting? Guys we're in on or have committed have much better vision and footwork.
