Great series/character. Reacher is blond, 6'5", 250lbs while Cruise is a 5'7", 150lbs with dark hair.

Child said:

“I based Reacher on a physical type of person which is huge and ugly,” Child said. “There was an English rugby player called Lawrence Dallaglio.

“Think of him in his peak. He was a big guy.

“There is a very iconic picture of him – a photo of him – and he’s got the ball in one hand, he’s got these giant hands. He is exactly the sort of guy you would not mess with. Because he’s big and he’s also rather brutal-looking, not that I would ever say that to his face.”

Looks just like Cruise if you ask me....

I'm still thinking about Pruitt and this strategy of telling recruits to just stand back and watch. All in and not much in the way of backup.
That's a fairly ballsy strategy. We're taking this curve wide open with no airbags and I've done jumped in for the ride.

Fail, and we're limping away from this one. Succeed and it becomes part of TN legend. Not sure how this ends but damn if it isn't kinda fun.

I agree, I believe when Pruitt tells these kids to enjoy the process, regardless if they are committed or not, that is his way of letting them know he understands the pressure they are under and a way to relate to them. Absolutely ballsy, and hopefully different from what other coaches are telling them. Good marketing.

I actually meant not taking very many at this point and holding out for the ones we want, and all of that riding on his promises of on field success.
But I like where you're at too.

Haha Chris Rumph on Roman Harrison

"Strong, strong. Dude came over to my house the other day and had his shirt off. Told him to wrap it up, don't need my wife seeing all of that"

What's crazy is we are going from the smallish team in the SEC to now looking like the most imposing Real quick. And I like it alot.

I haven’t followed recruiting much before last year, I’m still learning. It all reminds me of a good chess match (I’m not that great in that area either, lol).
