'13 TN RB Cornelius Elder

[PrattvilleVol]

I think I heard saw one sportswriter tweet he was a 6 time state champion. That's impressive.

Change the state name on his trophies to Florida since that's where he wants to be. He should have no claim to any affiliation to the great state of Tennessee whatsoever.

3 in basketball and 3 in football. He is a two-time Mr. Football winner and a four-time Mr.Basketball finalist. He has also won back-to-back basketball state tournament MVP's.

Canes go.

 

[orange parmejohn]

i have no interest in this kids future whatsoever. i only opened the thread to see if something might have happened with him, seeing as how he is still being talked about.

I didn't want Elder for BB at UT because I don't think he can make it at a big BB program. Name one Briarcrest guard that will play D1 BB.

If a guard from Rutledge can make it, I think Elder has a chance.

 

[SycloneJoe]

True, but I bet a conditional basketball offer (if you also play football) would have changed things.

We had a less than 1% chance even with a bb offer. He wanted to get away from his family (His Mom is from Roane Co.). The only way we had could've landed him is if we moved his whole family somewhere else.

I just talked to someone VERY close to Corn....

Besides wanting to move away from home. One of the other reasons why Corn didn't choose UT. Back when Dooley was still at TN, the recruiters and/or coaches told Corn that he was too small to play in the SEC! So Corn didn't even bother entertaining them once they started calling him for basketball and after Dooley left! It mad him and his Mom mad about that comment! She's a huge UT fan too! But that left a sour taste in her mouth! She also said that James Franklin was pretty ticked about Corn choosing Miami...a place he has dreamed about since he was a kid!

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

James Franklin would be "ticked" the guy is a royal doosh of the highest order.

[Scotty's Flat Top]

[Scotty's Flat Top]

If we don't boatrace those fools I'm going to come unglued. These Vandy fans ego's are getting way out of line. Smh.

I think the previous staff was correct in their evaluation. He might weigh 155 soaking wet and does not have that elite speed to compensate for it.

No doubt!

On Saturday, he topped off his career with 41 points and his third consecutive state tournament Most Valuable Player award.

Throw in three D-II AA football state championships at Ensworth and its obvious that a wheel barrel would be a proper graduation gift for Elder to carry his championship hardware to college in.

On the gridiron, the TNVarsity.com 2012 Tennessee Football Player of the Year was rated as the No. 7 rated athlete in the United States by Rivals.com. The running back/defensive back was a two-time Tennessee Mr. Football Division II-AA Mr. Football award winner and rushed for 2,618 yards and 39 touchdowns in 2012.

Elder has proven each season on the playing field and the gym floors why he is one of the top performers to ever play in the Volunteer State.

He rushed for 6,361 career yards to place him at No. 9 overall in Tennessee prep football history.

The swivel-hipped ball carrier with sub-4.5 speed and the balance of a cat, scored 89 touchdowns during his career.

The Rivals.com 3-star point guard, who averaged more than 20 points per game, received basketball scholarship offers from Purdue, MTSU, College of Charleston, North Carolina Wilmington and Western Kentucky before deciding on a football offer from Miami.

TSSAA Executive Director Bernard Childress told the Tennessean about Elder's six state championships, "That may be one of the best accomplishments that we know of in our state."

McCallie head basketball coach Dan Wadley would be glad to give Elder a graduation party. Wadley told the Chattanoogan.com back in December after watching Elder score 25 points and dish out key assists in the Tigers 79-67 win in Chattanooga that he's ready for him to move on. "He makes everybody better," Wadley said. "I asked them tonight to double-check that he's a senior. He's so hard to guard, I don't care where he goes to college or what he does - I just want to make sure he's gone after this year."

Watching Elder compete is a pleasure. Whether he's winning state championships or on the losing end like he was against Baylor during the 2011 football regular season, his effort and competitive spirit never changes.

Ricky Bowers has been his head coach for each of the six championships and he knows his player well. "I think that fire is part of his fabric," Bowers told the Tennessean after the football state championship game last November.

Elder is an athlete who didn't get his star ratings at combines and camps because he didn't have the time. Elder was too busy competing. He would go from AAU basketball to the gridiron and back to basketball without taking a break.

And, I'll say it again, he wouldn't have grown at all on Rocky Top!

Why is this thread even still going?

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Because we care so much about Miami and their recruits I suppose...

 

[State of the Vols]

Why is this thread even still going?

Why do you go through the trouble of opening the thread, reading the posts and then responding with a rhetorical question? :crazy:

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Because, we love talking Miami recruits.
