I'm interested in seeing how many Alabama actually signs this year. I want to see how he makes room when there seems to be no room.

Alabama would make room for him, if need be.

Maybe, maybe not. TN will have the best opportunity for early PT. I would feel comfortable with our positioning with him yet to visit. If we are nit in the top 2 after that, that is a different story.

This is true. But we can only sell early PT for so long. Let's hope CDD & co can get some studs who can come in and compete. Hopefully after he visits, he will be impressed enough to put UT in the top 2. Then I will like our chances a lot more than now.

This kid would have a chance to contribute possibly even start from day one here at any of his other choices I doubt he sees the field right away.

I'm guessing you're more impressed by Poole and Neal than I am?

It is not that i am more impressed by those two, though i do think that neal has a lot of potential. there is just no way he is going to come in and bumb three people out of his way on the depth chart. one of those three being a senior.

The best player will play at every position, no matter what year they are or how long they've been on the team. If Hill signs with Tennessee and shows he's the best option once the season rolls around, he'll start. If he doesn't, he won't. It's that simple imo

RB is one of the easiest positions to come in and make an immediate impact. If the kid has the talent, he will really push Poole who doesn't have great speed and misses too many holes.

Poole is the worst starting RB TN has had since Mark Levine in 1997 who got passed up by (FR) Jamal Lewis.

If Hill is an impact runner he could see the field ASAP.

Poole did not exactly have the O-Line that most of our RB's had the luxury of having, next year I think Poole will have a 1,200 yard season with an improved O-Line.

I agree, and I am commenting more on his overall talent not his production.

Dooley and Chaney have specifically said that he has missed a lot of runs and he is too tenative.

Just don't think it is all the Oline.

You have to give The kid a break. He is a freshman when considering playing time so he is not going to be a top dog. He has passion and heart and that is something you can't teach

You're right. Poole is a good back, but he definitely lacks something. I don't know if he just isn't explosive enough, or if his instincts to hit a hole and run are just not there.

If Hill doesn't beat out Poole for starting RB, Neal might just do it, Neal looks to be good in a few years and Tom Smith might just surprise a few people.

The stats disagree, and as you said, this was not a very good line he was behind.

I agree, I still think next year Poole will prove to be a solid starting back.

Wow. Ripping on Poole is hilariously ignorant. Dude almost rushed for 1000 yards, was leading the league in 100 yard games at one point, and did all of this behind easily the worst offensive line we've ever had a decidedly pass happy offense the last few weeks of the year. Poole can play. Bottom line.

People aren't saying he can't play. They are saying he's only going to be solid at best. There were a lot of holes he missed this year. Plays where he could have gotten 20+ yards he was getting 3-7 yards. We need a big time talent at RB. It is what it is.
