Horrible argument. The backs you're describing we already have or are recruiting as well (Poole, Neal, Lane, Smith, and are recruiting Robinson, and Cross is committed). We need Kimbrow. Period. He brings a facet to the game that we just don't have. He is a game-changer. He's an unbelievable talent. Plus he is #1 on the board undoubtedly.

Maybe it's the Memphis homer in you coming out pulling for this "game changer". I clearly said he would be a good pickup..but you can make NO arguement where a 160 pound RB running 4.3 will make any more impact than a 200+lb RB who runs a 4.4 and can play every down. Of course CDD and staff do not want to let the Tennessee kids go elsewhere, but there are several RBs on the board who would be better pulls than Kimbrow IMO.

The DY comments people are making about competition do not make alot of sense to me. I would say these guys are very similar. The big difference is DY would step in front of a train for his orange, and BK seems to be trying to jockey for his friend. If you don't offer his buddy, he does not mention you as an option.

You humiliate BK by comparing his competition to DY's.

1. I doubt seriously BK is humiliated by anything I post on here

2. 4A football in Memphis isn't that much better than 6A football in Knoxville...it's not like BK plays in FL

I'm not saying BK isn't great...just saying the claim that he makes DY look like a b**** isn't backed up by any film that I've seen

DY looks quicker and shiftier with great vision.
BK shows pure speed.

I agree...for the record I think Kimborw is an elite talent that should definitely be at the top of our board...

I just don't understand why some feel the need to trash DY when someone else points out the obvious similarities that exists between the two players

There are suppose to be at Tennessee's camp unless something changed. Most of the Memphis kids just showed up Saturday for ole miss's elite camp. Read where sheldon Dawson might be the best player in the state of Tennessee. That's what Barton S of 247 said.

Make no argument for a BK-type player over a Cross-type player? Here's one: the staff (Chaney especially) has stated we don't have a home run guy, and we really want one. He changes the game. Defenses have to account for the facets he brings versus what every down-type backs bring. That's just one reason. Apparently the staff has many arguments since he's #1 overall on our board over the other backs on TN.

Moreover, this isn't like offering Nash Nance to get Rogers. Redmond is very good and is getting plenty if BCS offers on his own. UT will offer him because he is good enough to earn one. Don't kid yourself.

As far as the Memphis comment, I actually don't like Memphis very much, at all. Kids here just have worlds of athletic ability. I don't think that can be argued.

Vols RB target Brian Kimbrow from Memphis goes to camps nearly every weekend. Still hasn't clocked a hand-time 40 outside 4.2's. F-A-S-T....

Hope we get him!! I heard he was fast but that's Chris Johnson speed!

That's ridiculous. Nashville is the best college town in the SEC. There is a ton for young kids to do in walking distance from campus. They have a PF Changs less than a 5 minute walk and numerous coffee houses/internet cafes.

There's also a Borders, I'm pretty sure.

He was talking about getting kids enrolled at Vandy due to their tough academics. He didn't say Nashville was a crappy town.

"It was OK. I got a chance to talk to the coaches and I got a chance to talk to coach Chaney and he was just telling me how he wanted to use me and how he just wants to get the ball my hands. He sees me as a combination of everything," Kimbrow said.

"I just got to spend some time with the coaches," Kimbrow said. "I talked to coach Dooley and we just talked about life."

Recently, Kimbrow had listed Vanderbilt his leader and Cincinnati his close number two and asked if the Vols helped themselves on this trip, he said they did.

"They just made me feel comfortable where I was and the put me around some of the players," Kimbrow said.

Doesn't sound like we rolled out the red carpet for him like other schools

I dont know how you can come to that conclusion just based on his comments about the visit. I'm sure Tennessee did all they possibly could to impress the kid. It would be abnormal if they didn't.

I honestly don't care if he didn't get special treatment or not. He got to talk to the coaches, got to see the campus, plus it wasn't an official was it?

Or could the kid just be keeping his feelings about us close to the chest, and trying not to give away to much on what he really thinks about UT?
