Judd has yet to visit Knoxville. I do not expect him to do anything until after he visits campus, if ever.

I'm just saying as it stands you have two kids at the RB spot coming in that have had some major injuries. You ask me if in general I'd prefer a JUCO kid or a high school running back--I'd take the JUCO kid. Hopefully Hurd and Paulk are 100% when the time comes but there are no guarantees and that's why Judd is being pursued.

Yeah, he committed to Ole Miss on a Sunday night after he got back from Knoxville iirc

The nation’s top-ranked junior college running back is still committed to Ole Miss, but the question could be, for how long?

Akeem Judd, a 5-foot-11, 219-pound running back from Georgia Military College, drew some attention on Twitter recently with a heavy dose of positive Tennessee tweets. He told The Clarion-Ledger Wednesday afternoon that Tennessee was making a heavy push for him.

“Tennessee is recruiting me really hard,” Judd said. “They’ve said pretty much I’m the running back they need.”

Judd chose Ole Miss over Tennessee after visiting both of the schools over the summer. The big reason why he picked the Rebels over the Volunteers was his bonding time with Ole Miss players such as Robert and Denzel Nkemdiche.

But since committing to Ole Miss, Tennessee has maintained constant contact. Interestingly enough, Ole Miss hasn’t.

Judd talks to Ole Miss running back coach Derrick Nix on Twitter, but said he hasn’t “heard from Coach Freeze in a minute.”

“I can’t even remember the last time I talked to him,” he said. “It’s been a long time.”

Judd hasn’t had the season he hoped for or expected. He’s suffered from turf toe and a shoulder injury that has limited his playing time. In his absence, former Auburn signee Jovon Robinson has emerged as the nation’s most productive junior college running back.

It’s taken Judd some time to get used to Robinson taking the starting role, but he’s seen his playing time increase as he’s gotten healthier.

Judd hasn’t visited any of the schools this season because his team plays on Saturdays. He is hopeful to take some visits after the season and plans to end the process on National Signing Day. He’ll be a May graduate.

Injuries, production is down, he's not the best RB on his team, and he is not an EE. I think there are better options out there. JMO

the reson for no production is bc of injuries. he produced fine last season so he has proved he can do it. Robinson is a beast but that doesnt mean Judd isnt good. i like the idea of a juco back along with hurd and lane. instead of two freshman RBs with lane. kinda like how auburn has done it with their running game.judd is also 220lbs. do we really another scat back?

Considering that Young and Pig really do not get carries out of the backfield unless it's a slot/sweep, not sure we have a "scat back". There are alot of quality RBs still uncommitted in this class. I'm not saying we need to take a 170LB RB at all. I would actually like to see us steal Wilbon away from candy. 5'10 190+, 4.4 speed.

With Tennessee likely needing to take another running back in this class Judd is a guy a lot of people are watching right now. Tennessee has continued to recruit him very hard over the past several weeks. He's not the only back the Vols are looking at at the moment but Tennessee has a good deal of momentum here right now with Judd.

Stripling will be at Judd and Lambert's game this weekend and they play Nassau CC so he'll get to see Lance McDowdell as well.

Rumors on TOS that this guy could be next to switch his allegiance to the Big Orange! Is he a good take ?

Highly rated
Bad stats this year
Good stats last year

Your guess is as good as mine. I'm not thrilled, but I'm not a talent evaluator either
