I bet Alvin thanks Hurd everyday for taking those 1000s of hits and tackles, blows to the head, knee, etc... that Hurd took from SEC defenses... thereby leaving Alvin free to wow scouts and have a stellar NFL draft. Way to go man! If I were him, I wouldn't have it any other way...

As the starter of this thread, i'd also like to put this out there....

His Freshman year, Jalen Hurd was the most dominate RB i've ever personally witnessed at UT. His last year here left much to be desired, but he was absolutely electric with the ball when he was in his "prime".

He'll end up like a Lemarcus Coker, Bryce Brown or Da'Rick Rogers. Infinite potential, sullied by crappy decisions and a poor support system.

Most dominant ? If so, you haven't watched football for very long. Keep watching though it can be good.

If anyone cares to watch this dominant season here it is. Turn down the volume and watch https://youtu.be/8h8-jq3odlg

I'm 29 and the most dominant freshman I've ever seen run the ball is a gentleman named Jamal Lewis

Well, it is beginning to be a little clearer how Hurd could quit on his team half way through. Looks like poor decisions run in the family.

I'm basing it on his performance. That's what makes him elite. They're making weak emotional arguments simply because they don't like him

He had good production and one solid year but his YPC and long runs absolutely do not scream elite. He started his first year and got to carry the rock a lot. Those guys on that list had to wait their turn because UT did have elite backs and more than one in the past. Regardless, if you are elite in your profession whatever it is, YOU DO NOT QUIT. The going gets rough the tough get going and all those nice little sayings. But, they hold true. This was not the first time and was not a first time bout of immaturity. He has done it several times in football. This is not his first or even second transfer. I dismissed some things I heard in December 15 about guys who are in lower staff positions. They did not like him and he had a very entitled attitude. They told me then he was about to leave. Long story short is what I just described is not elite. I do feel he could've been but he allowed whatever it was to keep him from achieving those things. Is some of it CBJ's fault? Probably so. It seems he should've either let him walk or put his foot up his butt far enough that it made a change. CBJ's has got to coach and control this team. Hope he has learned his lesson from this and a few other instances. You can believe he is elite and we can just disagree. It doesn't mean someone is dumb when they disagree with you. Saying that is actually childish. And sure, I can be childish at times as well but not this time because..............YOU STARTED IT!:loco::)

Jalen: "You know dat's right mom, hey... gotta roll. 3rd shift finna git cranked up"

Now most of ya'll if not all believed the hype, mon!

I can honestly say with the exception of that one run (I think it was against GA) where he ran over the kid who was falling down. Nobody mentioned that nor the fact that that kid was able to trip him!

Google "Chuck Webb" at UT.

The only RB who has ever been "Barry Sanders-ish" if there ever was one.

For those of you who think Hurd should have been behind Kamara, I agree, but I would go on to say, perhaps, he should have been behind Kelly as well.

Weird.

When Jalen was in the process of leaving the team she made it known that she didn't like his decision and she thanked Vol Fans.

Now she turned liked a Walker! Someone summon Miischonne and Rosita!

I really liked Hurd when he was here, but if you look at past history not many kids have transferred out of Tennessee and had good results wherever they end up. Except Lennon Creer who did his damage at La tech.

Suck it cause you gona suck.

7th best rushing season in TN history

Finished his career 6th in team history in rushing despite only playing about 2.5 years. Would've broke the record if he would've stayed.

Those are things that make you "elite". When you're a sophomore and you have one of the best season in school history, that's "elite".

No they don't imo. It only means he carried the ball a ton of times. Nothing elite about a guy who averaged 4.5 yards per carry in college, including 3.7 as a junior. Especially when everybody else who carried the ball in the same offense, behind the same OL, averaged much more.
