I can tell you this. These RBs are more interested in seeing if our use of the running game is going in the right direction moreso than wins. They'll live with some losses if they see they can put up some legit numbers. If we look lost in our running game through the first few games then we can kiss those elite RBs goodbye.

My thoughts exactly. (Although the wins would be great too.) :good!:

What happened with Jackson?

Why would he need a RS?

If he isn't needed this year I hope he is redshirted so he will be a RS jr and have 2 years left after the guys who are juniors now graduate. He was needed last year tho when Stone got taken out of the rotation..hopefully that won't happen again this year

whew...for a second there I thought he was injured.

I get what you are saying, but I think MJ is the first OL off the bench when someone needs a breather.

As for depth on OL don't forget we have 3 RS freshmen - Kerbyson, Posey, & Crowder that signed in 2011 class with Marcus & Tiny.

Not buying the season thing with Henry only because in the video the selling point for UT which seems to be getting his attention, is him coming in and help bringing UT back. So he knows UT is not there yet and does not seem worried about it.

If as he says in the video that he is 100% where he wants to go it would only be in UT's favor he announces now. Wherever he ends up he will be a big recruiter for that class. There are alot of players like Walker, Langley, and Kamara all announcing soon that Henry could help pull in for UT. Henry and Walker are friends and hanging out with each other and Henry is in Tunsil's ear which should help whatever team he goes to help bring Tunsil in.

Again not saying where he will end up just disagree with the reasoning. If Henry picks UT it will bebecause he believes the Vols will get better in the 3 or 4 years he is there and that he will be a huge part of that.

There is a difference -- you are saying that he wants to be a part of Tennessee's rise back to the top, and that is true, but like many we are recruiting, he also does not want to commit to Tennessee only to have his prospective HC and coaching staff fired after the season is over. That is something that could easily delay our "rise back to the top" by several years or more, especially if Hart were to hire K Smart or someone similar as so many seem to think would be the case.

I think Henry wants to be a Vol -- that is where his heart is leading him. He is just concerned about the "Dooley on the hot seat" question, as any elite level recruit would be. Another factor in his decision that is working in our favor is that I also think that Henry and Kamara have struck up a friendship and they both want to play together at Tennessee.

Amen, brother -- preach it!!!

Henry and Kamara compliment each other perfectly. Henry is a big, strong, bruiser who is very fast for his size, and Kamara is not as big, but he is still a strong, bruising back who is quick and has good hands. Would love to have either, but together they would give us our best RB class in many years.

The best part is that I think we have a very good chance to end up with both.

Could be but I have seen nothing to suggest this anywhere. Neither of them have been quoted as to say they even know each other, unless you have some inside info or I have missed some article out there which may be. Plus they have not visited UT at the same time either. I do know that Henry and Yenpenny are friends and in the latest video Henry talked about playing with Tenpenny. Henry also is friends with Walker and Tunsil.

I'm starting to see where everyone is coming from with the buzzkill talk.

Mlsoft is correct in what he says...they at least know each other, and they have talked some...to what extent I am not sure.
