so how does this guy compare to some of the names we thought we were in on early: Geno Smith and Joshua Holsey?

really hard for me to decide with just a 4 minute youtube video on him.

I was chatting with a VTech fan and he said "You all are probably going to get a 4* cornerback committ sometime this week." I replied, "Who would that be?" and he said "Kenneth Crawley. He was a Hokie lock but we filled up on CBs early and the coaches backed off on him. IMO, that is going to come back to haunt us. You will be getting a total stud, and a good kid."

He keeps up with the VTech recruiting on another board so I don't think he is trying to mess with me. I just thought it was odd, because I haven't even heard of the recruit until now. Has anyone else heard any new info?

this post above from 8/8 is where your friend called this one. Can he call Kirven to the Vols too?

Sirmon is going to be hard to keep around for long. Teams will start throwing a lot of money at him next year.

#18 CB on ESPN:

Crawley has the size, ball skills and athleticism college coaches covet out on the perimeter. While he is slight in stature and needs to add bulk, he possesses good height and length and the ranginess to make a lot of plays in coverage. Speed is good but he tends to build it and lacks great initial explosiveness. Savvy athlete with good ball and awareness skills. Fluid pedal and overall footwork for his high-cut frame but we would like to see him become sharper and more crisp in his footwork. Better breaking on the pass in front of him than flipping his hips in transition. Shows good breaking quickness and has the length and range to recover long. Quick footwork and agility allows him to mirror receivers tightly in off-man coverages. Best asset may be his high-point skills and jump-ball defense. Possesses good height and leaping skills needed to match up with today's taller college receivers. Plays the ball not the man displaying very good body control and athleticism. Tackles low on run support but is not very assertive and quick to mix it up. Lacks great physicality and strength and it could be an issue when asked to press and jam bigger college receivers and set the edge on run support. Still a very talented corner with smooth, natural movements for his height. Has made more plays with his great athleticism than technique and skill-set giving him great upside when projecting for college. May get a look at receiver.

Someone has no clue what "stature" means.

I don't see him leaving unless it's to follow Wilcox.

He may not this season but you can bet teams will be offering a ton of money to get him. He will definitely be getting a nice raise to counter the offers.

And there are lots of great DCs out there to learn from. I dont think hes joined at the hip with Wilcox.

Other teams wanting our coaches is a good thing. It means they are doing something right. I hope every single coach on our staff gets a dozen offers every year to go somewhere else. Maybe the guy with the least amount of job offers gets replaced? I like that idea.

He was only a GA at Oregon so that doesn't really mean much. If he really intends on being a DC in the future he wont pass on the opportunity to learn from more than one DC, especially if the price is right.

Like I said, I think he gets offers as early as this year, but see Dooley making a counter and keeping him around for at least one more year. Its just near impossible to keep up and comers like him on a staff for long unless your name is Saban.

He was only a GA here as well. He made a lateral move (as positions go) to coach with Wilcox.

He left to be a GA here. He and Wilcox are also best friends.

Still doesnt mean anything. Yes they are friends, thats great. But if you think hes going to be here for a long time you are kidding yourself.

So what? That's what good coaches do. They get better jobs. He'll be replaced. No need to worry about assistant coaches leaving. If anything you should worry about them staying too long, that would mean they're not very good.
