Tenpenny is a prototypical back, size wise, but he still has a lot to prove since he didnt play last year, he is more known for his camp performances than onfield success at this point. Henry just brings so much versatility to the position.

I agree, but Alabama isn't getting both of these guys. Let's just hope we get the other one lol.

Definitely not with one high profile back already commited.. And possibly another with kamara..

Kamara will end up at UGA. If Henry comes to UA we can actually thank Tenpenny partly for that since he has been recruiting him and both have talked about wanting to play together since the Opening.

A guy with a twitter handle like kinghenry_2 doesn't seem like a guy who likes to share the spotlight too much. There can be only one king, and Rocky Top would be a great place to build a castle IMO.

What's your best guess at what Tyren Jones would do if Henry decides to join Bama as a RB? I would love to see Jones come to Athens for an OV this Fall.

Unless Jones is lying to everyone, which he could be(Foster) he was just quoted as saying he has no concern with it. He actually said he hopes that Henry does come because it will make the 3 compete harder for playing time. He is the only GA player highly ranked I have seen that has no interest in UGA for whatever reason.

But I do not think Henry ends up at UA tbh or we would have taken his commit back in June. Henry is scheduled to commit in Dec and be an EE. Plus taking all 3 would only hurt UA next year. We are in great shape for L Fournette and R Thomas. If Henry commits to UA, it will not be Jones that looks at UGA it will lock up Bo for UGA next year. Both are clones in the way they play.

The only bonus for UA regarding Henry right now is he has been talking up UA to Tunsil. Rumors are surfacing now that Tunsil will visit UA with his family in the next few weeks. If getting Henry helps us with Tunsil I want him, but would rather have Bo next year.

Good info. I really like T. Jones, kid has All-SEC written all over him. Jones was taking a serious look at UGA early this year before he committed to Bama. Can't blame him for it, the last 2 drafts speak for themselves as to what Bama can do for a big time RB.

Jones is a beast. I like Tenpenny but Jones is better I think. The only other back like him would be D Green in this class. Jones is a great fit for UA.

Those teams were down because UF, us and Auburn kept kicking the snot out of them. The script has flipped but that doesn't mean the same high octane passing attack UF had, wouldn't be just as deadly today.

Teams generally want to be balanced so they can control the pace of the game...and I don't disagree with that, but when you have the ability to put your foot on your opponents throat either with the pass or the run, might as well play your winning hand.

because 1) his QBs and Wrs executed his passing attack incredibly well--and with players who often were not studs (I don't think any of his QBs made a mark in the NFL--bunch of overachievers); and 2) because SEC teams were accustomed to playing run-first conference opponents and did not have nearly enough talented DBs to play with florida. Spurrier humiliated PF on more than a few occasions.

Where do you think Henry goes TW?

TBH I like UT's chances for him. Unless he commits to UA this weekend or before the season starts I just do not see him ending up at UA. Someone on another board said the main thing Henry is concerned with at UT is the staff being there when he gets there. Him announcing in Dec only bodes well for UT. If UT has a good season, meaning 8-4 atleast which is duable, I think Henry commits to UT and Henry knows he would see the field as a freshman there.

how do u know he hasnt committed privately and just waiting to say it publicly? thats been the word for a while. I could be wrong but I dont think bama is in as good of shape with Fournette as they once was, kid was suppose to come to Bama recently but instead went to LSU. im from the Anniston/Oxford area and Rock's dad will be a major part of his recruitment, if it was up to Rock he would be committing to Bama sooner than later but his dad wants him to look at some other options also because of PT, which is a smart thing to do for his son's future. I dont think Henry committing locks up Bo to UGA, but i think it makes it harder on Bama to get him even if Saban is telling him he can play RB. I would think Scarbrough knows the situation with Henry

Great info TW. Hope you guys dont take Henry and we can land him. Wish we were in position to turn 5* guys down. Miss those days.

I just can't believe Bo would go anywhere but UA. The guy can throw a rock from his house and hit BD stadium.

i agree, if he wants to play/start early he should go to UT.

I agree the longer the better. The way he talks just makes me think he really really likes tn especially jay. I think jay changed the game this past week to where showing commitment to run and winning can tip the ball to tn favor
