Makes me wonder if Salter is out there in TX peer recruiting.

[NeverWe'llSever]

I'll allow it!

This is the kid that Price has always said the staff liked most.

Maybe ZE informed him on Kirby

7 x 7 camps. These kids know each other and twitter is a thing.

Woooooooo that boy gooooood!!

How soon we forget what High School film looks like.

Tbh I don't think we need 4 RBs this class

Nope, we don't. But if this is for real, either Elijah Howard or Jaylen Wright might get a "you need to look around" phone call.

[VolSummitt44]

Wright is going to be a vol unless he changes his mind. You don't git shirt a player that can run like him. Howard is a db last I heard on here.

In fairness.. He did say "might"

If we get arnold, somebody is getting dropped

If we get arnold, somebody is getting dropped

I think it's a forgone conclusion 2 of the dbs are probably on notice

Not necessarily...

We lose 3 SRs.
Eric Gray is our ONLY proven back after that.

2021 looks like this:
Gray, Evans (JR)
Small, Whitehead, Hodge(SO)
LJ Johnson, Wright, Brown, (FR)

Howard is being recruited at DB
Johnson, Evans, Small, and Wright are IMO the next after Gray.
Brown, Whitehead, and Hodge are all mostly power backs.

Wright has a lot of ability. Reminds of Chris Jones at LSU. Behind Evans, he is our 2nd most talented RB commit IMO right now.
Watch him blow up this season.

We played 4 RBs this season. So did UGA, and UF. So really we need about 6 dependable Rbs on the roster...

I still think Whitehead winds up in the front 7... Ultimately... And wouldn't be surprised if Hodge did as well.

There's room if this turns out to be a thing...

Anyone know how good the 5a competition is near Houston? That was very impressive. Surprised he's not ranked higher.

I believe Cy-fair is 6a, the highest level in Texas. He’s playing against some pretty tough competition.

I’m assuming you’re implying Ty Chandler isn’t good. The first time he touched a ball in a UT jersey he scored. He’s been plagued with injuries/concussions, and at 5’11 maybe 190 he’s not built like a durable SEC back. But he’s done a good job so far, leading UT running backs with almost 700 yards rushing his sophomore and junior year, while splitting reps with Tim Jordan, and Gray and Jordan this past year

 

[vol_in_ga]

I like chandler. Think he could be better than his stats say. Think his ceiling is higher than Jordan’s. Was really hoping he would break out last year.

 

[Defcon5]

So we got a top 50 player completely off the radar calling our staff wanting in?? Bring em TF on!

Let me get this straight, he called us? What the Hell.

 

[Bennessee01]

let's not start this crap. let the coaches handle it, the numbers always work out.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Did not score on every play, not impressed.

 

[Defcon5]

If this kid wants in, I'd go with him and Brown. Given our other needs, I'm not sure we need more than two RBs in this class if we can fill other needs with quality guys. But that's JMO.

Take juco back also on short downs. Take Cobb & Webb. Each back would drag ball down to 1 yard line with 3 lbs on their back. They would take themselves out to let their teammate score. That’s when you know you have a team.

[Defcon5]

That's what I'm saying. You take this kid and Brown. Two is enough. You take the best two then look to fill other needs.

You take the players you can get on the field most of the time.
