'13 AL RB Johnathan Ford (no longer a Vandy commit)

[BruinVol]

My bad its no tix for UOV's looks like. Still not good.

NCAA hits Vols football with additional penalties; tied to Willie Mack Garza » govolsxtra.com Mobile

Not good but its only 2 games.

Not good but its only 2 games.

Right but first two SEC games. Which happen to be the best home games this year. UGA and SC.

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

So if we strike out on rb's this class, do u all think JRM gets a shot at rb?

No way. We still have Lane and Neal. Both capable. We would have to have serious injuries to even consider that scenario. We need him on the other side of the ball. We better stockpile some damn RBs next cycle though.

 

[Wezcoast]

If our Oline does it's job and our scheme is executed correctly, DY could be scary good in it. All of our current backs are capable of being more than adequate . I'm far more worried about our defense prospects.

Damn I didn't read it to he first 2 SEC games. Not good at all

How big of a deal is this? What exactly does it mean for us in the near future

 

[Ron Swanson]

On Ford...

"He is very, very, important to this class. No question about that."

- Hubbs

100% agree with Hubbs. Ford is a must get now.

 

[KCVolLaw]

So if we strike out on rb's this class, do u all think JRM gets a shot at rb?

Very doubtful. DB is a need and that's where he seems like he wants to play.

He was a must get even before IMO.

I agree about our existing backs. Of course we always want to keep a good stable of backs each year, but what we have coming back is more than adequate for us to win, IMO. Get Hurd and Chubb or one of those other Georgia studs for '14 and we'll be fine.

So a fan can let them buy tickets for a penny? Surely there is a way around this.

 

[volssam]

So if we strike out on rb's this class, do u all think JRM gets a shot at rb?

I had a similar thought.

If we get bell and already have lemond Johnson, JRM could be a beast of a RB

The kid has already said Vandy. The Auburn trip is pleasure. End of Story.

If the "kid saying Vandy" is the end of story then why did you post the following just 2 days ago?

btw, Kimbrow is a completely different back then Ford

Same type of back, lmao. Proof that Vandy fans know jack about football.

Bipolar is a hell of a disease.

 

[PrattvilleVol]

Agree...Ford is totally different than Kimbrow.

 

[KnoxVillain]

Ford or bust...and we better not bust on RBs this year.

"For what its worth I think Ford is a VOL and he is their number one back before Green."

- Uzzi

Trust me, we want JRM playing defense. His athleticism and instincts are killer and we need that on D.

 

[LebanonVolunteer]

"For what its worth I think Ford is a VOL and he is their number one back before Green."

- Uzzi

If he is saying Keyante Green, I might buy it. Derrick Green? Not so much. CJG has been after that kid for 3 years.

Ron, I didn't see that coming. What connection does Uzzi have with Ford, if you know.

 

[Jewbaccah]

Many scouts are not high on Derrick Green. He has the physical combine skills. But his film is not that of an elite runner.

 

[BruinVol]

IMO the staff has known from the beginning that green was a very longshot. So making ford the top of list is believable
