'14 TN RB Jalen Hurd (UT commit 3/14/13)

[Escape Goat]

It's also a lot easier to play when you know you're not playing for anything. Zero pressure. Everything to prove.

Ohio states schedule next year makes Vandy, and Georgia jealous. What a mother ****ing joke.

 

[Escape Goat]

All hail the northern pussies that take the easiest road to the NCC possible. All bow before their greatness. Give me a damn break.

 

[JacketVol]

It's laughable that some of you think it's easy to go undefeated. Winning every game no matter who you play is tough.

That is why I said Dooley would've won eight. It is not easy to win them all but easier there than in SEC.

You got Michigan who is decent, a down psu, an overrated northwestern, and a so so Nebraska. Weak ass conference.

Amen.

Fact is, Urban is at worst, a top 5 coach in the nation. Good argument can be made for #2

Good Rivals article about the taller running backs. There is a Hurd video at the bottom.

Good to see some Portlanders around these parts. You guys were there during the golden years of Portland football. I remember watching those 90s teams dominate when I was a kid.

To stay on topic, Jalen Hurd would be an immediate impact here no matter where he lined up, and Butch will do the necessary leg work to put us in position to grab him. He can't make the kid's decision for him, however.

He won every game he coached last year. And that was without Tebow.

Without the SEC as well!

Truth.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Truth.

Great recruiting tool on a UT site. What other pearls do you guys have on meyer?

So did Brian Kelly--but what happened when he played a real SEC caliber team?

We'll see what he does this year with a weak schedule--Michigan in Ann Arbor is going to be a hard game...and then he will have to face an SEC champion....ND 2012 all over again...

I think CUM knows he doesnt have the talent to beat the SEC elites and thats why we are still seeing him in these head to head battles during recruiting.

YEP--He is not stupid, he knows to win it all he has to get SEC talent for the defensive front 7. But--Hoke at UM is no slouch either. I just have NEVER liked the Buckeyes--nor Urbie Creyer! :salute:

Hokes best chance to beat Urban was squandered last year. He has some talent coming in this year, but they wont impact this season as much as next year. If Braxton goes down with an injury OSU will struggle..

2011 right here. Also saw Jalen play. I was in awe.

I haven't been back for a game in years. Did we look to be standing still compared to his speed?

 

[BSGVOL]

Kid's video reminds me of Eddie George for some reason. Maybe it's because he's so tall and runs kind of straight up.

That running style didn't stop Eddie from having a superb college career (culminating in an award no Tennessee player has ever won). I don't think Jalen would be any different, assuming his talent level is as tremendous as advertised.

Hurd and his family stayed at TKjr's house this weekend over his visit.

That has to be good news right?

 

[ProfessorD]

I saw him play in Jackson and I have never seen such a player. This is kid is something else.
If we were to get him and what we seem to have going on.. would be great..

I saw the second half of that game when he went off. I said to myself this must be what it was like to watch some of the greats run in high school. He was on a way higher level than anyone on that field and the Indians had some athletes. Then he went off in the championship game as well. If he has a senior year like last year he will be in the top 5 in the nation on all recruiting sites and would be a huge get for Tennessee. Hope we get him!

If you think TKJr is UT bound

 

[Ericvol2096]

If you think TKJr is UT bound

Well you'd have to think TKjr is closer to being a Vol than Hurd is...given growing up in Knoxville and his dad.

That is why I view it as a positive.
