More asking if there's a 2026 RB prospect emerging. Sorry i I wasn't clear.

David Segarra is in SC, but with it being a bye week, I wouldn't be shocked to see them try to cover as much ground as possible as a complete staff. SC always has a couple guys emerge each class, guys like Josh Dobson and Nate Carson in 2027

He’s just covering a geographic area, opposed to recruiting the position he coaches.

There’s like 15 recruits Tennessee is actively recruiting in South Carolina

Now that I’ve exposed myself as an anti-DeRail Sims troll blue font, I will say that flipping Latimer in this class, who I believe is underrated, would go a long way. Wouldn’t have to gamble on the portal for a more expensive guy.

I would love to see us make a move here but the fact he hasn’t made it to town and is visiting other places tells me this one’s becoming a pipe dream.

And the way schools like this are on him tell me his low rating is prob BS

He's been on an absolute heater this season

Seems like he’s doing a NIL re-negotiation tour.

I hope Knoxville is included in it.

Why won’t top RB targets commit here?? Have they seen how RBs do in our offense?

We’re saving up to double down in 2027

I hope we hav learned our lesson on paying kids $2mil/year for only potential. They then think they own your program and can tell you how they want you to run it.

If you are going to double down on anything go to the portal and get kids like Star who not only has potential but has demonstrated ability at this level.

Agreed

We don’t put as much of a NIL premium on RB or Safety

Have to make sacrifices somewhere when you pay so much for QB, OT, WR and pass rushers

What no….haven’t you heard money is endless and we could pay more than anyone else for every position but we choose not to

Per Wiltfong will be on campus this weekend

The Vols have been pushing for Tyrone (Ga.) Sandy Creek Rivals300 running back Amari Latimer for a long time as they battle Miami and Ohio State to flip him from Wisconsin.

Sorry to nitpick but that quote doesn’t say he’ll be on campus, it says we’ve been pushing to get him here. Is there another part of the article where he actually says that?

So assume no visit?

I pointed out yesterday how often we've gone up against Ohio State and won in recruiting and people treated me like some insane person. Didn't they just win the Championship? Well, we are recruiting better than they are right now. Our average is higher per player than theirs. And if we beat them out to be one of the last two teams for Hiter, then we beat them out on Latimer (I know I'm projecting) then I would say that just backs up my contention. Maybe the problem really is OSU spends so much on Saftey that they can't afford to beat us out for a RB?

Oh, and it looks like we are ahead of them for Georges too. More projection, I know, but what fun are message boards without a little projection?

Man it would be awesome to get him. Really good back and different body type from anyone we have
