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

[T Dog]

Sounds like he is no longer visiting... Looks like he is heading to A&M.

Per you....

Per you....

That's the scuttlebutt over on VQ. It hasn't been posted by any media. You can believe it or not, I really don't care.

Baffles me how instate kids crap on the home state school so much. A&M hasn’t been on him much longer than us.

FDV has just over 200 posts. 75% of them are him telling us that Russell isn’t coming. The other 25% is him telling us that Gruden is coming going all the way back to 2012.

This thread is a cluster f***. Haven’t read more than a couple post per page including actual updates from TOS since ESD.

The only in-state kid Pruitt slowed played and then tried go full pursuit later but lost was Joseph Anderson. Chris Russell could be number 2, we will find out next week. Zion Logue was a never slow played, we just didn’t offer first and he made a big show about it.

Correct. And he is not much of a loss. He is a tweener. I wish him well at USCe but I do not envision him having a big impact at the SEC level.

"This is accuarte. A&M has made a big move. Not a done deal though. Vols still working to get Russell on campus this weekend. "

- Simonton talking about him not visiting and A&M being the leader.

Lots of discussion about where things stand with Henry To'oto'o and Chris Russell. Here's the latest from the VQ staff.

As @Lupovol noted in a thread earlier, Texas A&M has the momentum for Russell right now following Jimbo Fisher's in-home visit. There's a chance the 3-star linebacker could even visit College Station again unofficially this weekend. Tennessee is still working to get Russell and his family on campus this weekend, though. Things are very fluid there. Nothing is final as of Thursday morning. There are a lot of Volunteer folks in Dyersburg. Right now, the official visit is on pause. Tennessee is working to make sure it's not outright canceled. The Vols were right that A&M was their biggest challenger for Russell, but they underestimated the in-state linebacker's overall interest.

As for To'oto'o, the Vols are still scheduled to see the De La Salle linebacker today. Can they flip the momentum away from Washington and Alabama? That's going to be tough, as Nick Saban is also slated to go in-home with the 4-star California native.

I know this isn't the news y'all wanted to hear. But the that's the latest as of this morning.

Good luck to the kid. Dyersburg is far away from Knoxville, kid doesn't have to rep the in-state school. I wouldn't pick College Station aka cultsville USA but have fun and enjoy your college experience.

How did he crap on the home state school? Should Vandy, Memphis and UT Martin also feel slighted here?

Well I guess we found out who the real insider is

 

[bignewt]

Yall melting down over a 3 star lb from Dyersburg. If the kid was from any other state you would be crying over us even considering the take. Smdh.

 

[InstrumentalVol]

Simonton may have sources & a credible history as a Vols Insider but we have Orange Defense & his Dyersburg connections. I know which one I TRUST.

 

[scvolfan7]

We need to sign 5 linebackers next year

 

[Weezer]

Waiting on OD to tell us none of this is true.

 

[bignewt]

We need to sign 5 linebackers next year

and we probably will. just hope we get a 3 star middling talent from TN so the natives will be happy.

We really need some difference makers on the EDGE in the next class. I think we are ok at ILB assuming Crouch and Peterson pan out.

After Darrell Taylor leaves we have next to nothing at the Jack/EDGE.

If we can hold onto Jordan Davis (2020 JUCO commit) he will be in a prime position to fill that void.

Even if Chris doesn’t come here, FDV is not an insider.
