'19 TN ILB Christopher Russell (Texas A&M signee)

Was just looking at Auburn's board and this LBer out of Dyersburg,Tn. has shot to the top of their board also. Would be a nice grab for UT and we are favored to land him.
You personally saw Gus's recruiting board?
 
I think slow playing this kid is a huge mistake if we are waiting on the Toto... he’s gonna burn us like the kids from Cali do last year and we’ll be left out to dry. Take Russel and be happy

If we signed everyone who has the capability to burn us like Randal Cobb, the kids from Cali , etc do, we'd have to sign 63 this recruiting cycle. Sometimes you just gotta let'm go. Russell may be great in 4 years but at this point Toto has the higher upside. I am not a scout, just going by the social media experts.
 
Except this kid has a handful of legit SEC offers. DY was headed to UTC, IIRC, before the UT offer. DY was very small, undersized for SEC football. This kid is not.
I thought Devrin was going to Arkansas or somewhere like that. Could be wrong. And again not hating on Russell but for alledegly having legit SEC offers he hasn't gotten much attention from said schools. Except for the insiders here talking about Chavis illegally camping out at his school no one has really pressured. And generally if you have legit SEC offers most SEC schools offer. When it's only a couple, it usually means there is a favored team, which could be the case here, or you are a back up plan.

Auburn is a sh*tshow right now and Gus is a sitting duck. Doesn’t shock me he’s atop their board
 
I don't think we are slow playing Russell, at least not at this point. Even if they knew 100% they were getting To'oto'o I think he is still a take. Are we even pursuing any other ILB's besides these two guys?

Take Daniel Brooks over Patrick Willis while you're at it.
