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

[m1al]

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

 

[Vol Main]

Not seeing that on 247. You showed me though, don’t ever mess with a recruiting guru like yourself sir.

Anybody messes with Critters, he messes back with the messer.

Critters is the man. His rants were very entertaining.

Well are you going to bow down to the Russell or not?

Lol, I hope we get him. He is a good football player. But, some of this stuff in this thread is over the top.

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.

Take both and be happier.

Lol smart “donkey” you know what I mean. With all of ODs recent posts....

Edit: Also, I would appreciate it if your replies would notify me lol.

I’m not doing that @bullshiz!

No room for that.

We need to close with To’

You don't have to. All he's got to do is set his alerts to notify him when someone quotes his post, and he'll get an alert.

According to who? I'm not sure anyone has been definitive on how many we can sign. And with Lakia Henry looking around, it's quite possible he's not in this class. If he flips, then I maybe we can sign both.

Auburn is a sh*tshow right now and Gus is a sitting duck. Doesn’t shock me he’s atop their board

 

[SaguaroVols]

This thread got real good! But we got back on topic. Meh.

Lol it doesn’t even notify me when you reply to me. It’s like you are ghosted.

Works with everyone but Butchna for some reason

 

[Dudley Smith]

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?

 

[LA Vol]

No room for that.

Wright, HT and Harris. If Harris looks like may not qualify, we could delay signing him until June and free up his spot.

Maybe try stuff like turning off alerts for quoting, then turn back on; logging off then logging back on?

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

 

[orangemadam]

I'm from Dyersburg, was a Trojan myself several years ago. Wont hurt my feelings if we take him over Toto and others.

Is this Dyersberg in Tennessee or Kentucky?

The thread title says this is a TN prospect so I assume TN.

I assumed so too but they keep talking about Hobbes. Or maybe he was British, idk.

Yeah no clue. I've never even heard of the town before.
