Are we talking to him at all with the new staff?

 

[bignewt]

Id say thats a no brainer. Just hope its not too late.

He can't sign anywhere for about 13 months. If it's too late now, he was never interested in UT to begin with.

Bump any news here?

He got 420 on bench this week. He is hearing from Louisville and Miss State mostly the last time I heard. He is a good back but raw. My guess is he is on down the list for UT with the other backs we are in on.

It would serve him well to have a good Senior year and to go camping this summer...hopefully he gets some invites.

I think Vandy asked him last year to come to theirs...don't know if he went.

Is he going to have the same issues Keyante Green had? Focused on big bench press numbers and it hurts him as a RB?

 

[tmac5469]

He would be good for a smaller school, just not the answer for us.

I was at a clinic a few weeks ago, and a coach told me that there was a good chance he would be going with Maynard to Cookeville. Anyone else heard this?

 

[1orangews6]

Man, Jalen must have been a popular name for the '13 and '14 class they are loaded with them.

 

[Volsfan15]

He is not SEC level, good back for a little team though.

Didn't Maynard decide to stay at smith co?

Well gentry may have had other reasons

 

[volssam]

Booo.

So who's the coach now?

 

[VFL23]

Booo.

So who's the coach now?

Looks like Jimmy Maynord, after a 30 sec search Cookeville Football: Cavaliers Coaches Record. This will be his 1st year there.

Oh ok, sorry then.

 

[Volsfan15]

There is no Coach at this moment at Smith County. They are searching...

 

[SCowlsVOL]

Yeh I don't doubt that at all. Can totally understand both leaving.

Gru--oh Nevermind .

I don't think he is like Keyante because he isn't getting overly big. He is more cut than big. He is stiff though and needs to work on flexability and agility. He also takes really small strides. If they can fix that in college he could be a lot faster. He is just raw and needs some work. Also most schools I believe are looking at him in the slot instead of RB.

Put this guy on defense

Jalen is going to UL junior day this weekend. He was also invited to MSU jr day.
