'14 SC RB Caleb Kinlaw

Kid is 5'9 175. I would be tempted to tell him to come to camp and see if he could win a spot at CB. If he could, he would be a value pick up as he could play CB or RB in a pinch. Who knows why he felt the need to make the trip back to KVille. I doubt he would log the miles unless he thought he had a shot to get a committable offer. JMO

I hope both him and Miclisse do great in college. They both seem to bleed orange, but I just don't see them as takes

Possible grayshirts or walk-ons?

Anything is possible I guess. Not sure he would need to make a return trip to get a walk-on spot. I doubt he takes Kid will have several options to play ball/go to school for free. GS I can't see as if the staff does not see him as a take now, I doubt they would be in 2015.

Feel like he could definitely contribute to this program, but with our success in recruiting the shear numbers may be what keeps this dedicated VFL on the outside looking in.

I am routing for this kid he wants to be apart of this class in a bad way. I love kids who love the vols as much as I do and Kinlaw definitely does.

When the breaks go against you, put on more steam.

I think somebody famous said that. This kid is gonna do great things somewhere.

I know they mean basically nothing, but it's ironic that Paulk was predicted to UNC a little while ago. There had to be some grounds to make that assumption, after he's already committed to UT..

Did he shrink?

Caleb was measured 5'10.5", 183 at the Nike Combine in March. Skipped track this summer to add more weight and strength. Last I heard, he was over 190.

Current coaches have never seen him work out, they asked him to come to camp.

Good Info and thanks for the correction. I just took the numbers off one of his profiles. Would love to see the kid get what he wants, which seems to be play for the Vols. Just not sure the numbers are going to allow it.

That gut that picked him picks everyone to UNC. Unless Hibbs or Fort says something, no worries.

My co-worker's kid goes to Goose Creek HS, so he watched almost every game last year. He(my co-worker) doesn't think Kinlaw is an SEC back. The competition down here isn't great and when they played against some better schools from tougher divisions, he struggled. I haven't personally watched any of his games, but I trust his judgment when it comes to football. Just passing his thoughts along...

Seriously?

Look, I'm not here to start an argument, but this is so wrong on many levels.

Your co-worker's son attends Goose Creek, it's obvious he doesn't play football, yet he can evaluate a player and says Caleb can't play in he SEC?

Goose Creek was ranked #11 in USA Today, a top 20 team in most polls including ESPN, MaxPreps, and Rivals before they were ruled ineligible during the playoffs for a paperwork error involving a special needs kid that was on the team who hardly ever played.

Goose Creek plays in the highest classification (AAAA) in South Carolina. They only play teams in their class, so I don't know what you mean when you say they struggle against tougher divisions. They have won 27 games in a row, and posted a record of 40-2 last three years.

Competition down here isn't great? Atlanta area has a bigger population than the whole state of SC, yet SC had 5 schools finish in the Top 55 in Rival's final rankings. That's more than Ga, Tenn, NC, Ala, and most other states except Fl, Tx and Calif.

Goose Creek has also played and beaten teams within their region with UT offered players like Jacob Park, Darin Smalls, Nolan Kelleher, Shamir Blackshear, etc.

Last three years, Goose Creek has placed 10 players on Division I rosters and 22 players on Div1-AA or DivII. Notables include Brandon Shell and Tramel Terry.

Wow man. You didn't waste any time going in for the kill. Great information. I think Kinlaw will be special. Whether it is here or somewhere else. If it is somewhere else, I hope it is at least outside of the SEC East.

Dang seems like you know your stuff. What's your assessment of Kinlaw? Sorry if I've missed where you talked about this in the past. :hi:
