You just don't get it do you? The coaching staff determined we needed another RB now, not 2017 but now. They know the reason we needed one now, do you?

Yes that is a good point. I think we can get by without another body. I hope l am right on that for sure.

Coaches may felt the need. A lot of people felt Kelly would see a lot of carries and he hasn't. Hurd and Kamara will carry the load again. If there is an injury Kelly is next. CFA is next. I seriously doubt this kid is a "need" at all for 2016.

Not sure, just heard a snippet on the radio. One could argue even if it were for his career that coaches should have played him more if he were that productive.

He's a BUST that's why. Lol Probably got those yards in garbage time versus weak competition.

"We've been reporting that Tennessee has been looking for a running back replacement for Joe Young in the class of 2016 and we can confirm that Oklahoma running back Jeremy Lewis (6-1, 190) has been added to the roster and enrolled in school this month and will practice in August when fall camp opens.

Lewis became a late qualifier as academics limited his options on signing day but he ran for over 3,000 yards his senior season and signed with Trinity Valley Community College in February.

This doesn't change the outlook at the 2017 running back board as Cam Akers and Ty Chandler remain the Vols' biggest priorities in a year where they must sign ready to play running backs.

But, Lewis should add some depth and another option once Jalen Hurd and Alvin Kamara leave after this season in all likelihood. "

Competition not the best but he's a solid athlete for sure.

Chick fil A announced they just got rid of the spicy chicken biscuit for an egg white grilled chicken biscuit. 2016 can go to hell.

Some of y'all are being too hard on the AL DUI and FL BB gun players. What you all don't realize is that we (you all and me) are mostly sitting around in air conditioning while these guys have put in a lot of hard work outside of climate controlled environments. They deserve some leniency.

He keeps saying "we" like he is a UT fan and not an Ole Miss fan. Interesting.

Geez. Been a Vol longer than you I'd imagine why such a jerk?

I said Richmond and Phillips had no shot at being VOLS based on what I'd read and knowing ole mi$$ MO. Was glad I was wrong. WTF else you want from me?

If there isn't a problem or conflict, let's be sure and try to create one. Good grief. How could picking up a quality RB for depth be a problem with how well Butch manages a roster? Ridiculous. Thank you for the "ignore" feature. Hate using it, but is well past time to do it.

Just curious has there ever been a recruit you didn't think we should have taken?

I've seen him hesitant on some of our takes so you're off...again. And we always have you as a counterbalance on why EVERYTHING is a bad move. Kind of a hell no doomsdayer. :)

I don't think I've seen it mentioned but one of the WR's arrest was Cleveland, one of their top recruits and top 40 overall recruit in the nation. Was supposed to have a great year. Big blow if it's anything more than a game suspension

It'll be handled internally, IMO.

There was a poster named Leb that said we should stand pat at running back instead of going for Kelly. Vincent Perry and Jacquez Bruce would provide adequate depth. :pinch: Wish he hadn't told one too many racist jokes in Compton. :sad:
