I don't think so. You will note that the coaches took his commitment. For now it's a lot of talk that he may not end up in Orange. Until then, I'll roll with the UT coaches. They cut him loose, then I will claim I know more than they do.

Will you then vacate the volnation board and start a Rocky Reid board?

Let me repeat what I just said.

Butch is looking to upgrade here. All the signs are pointing that way.

Are you a vol fan or a Rocky Reid fan? If you are a Vol fan you should be happy.

Signs arent pointing to an upgrade..Signs point to needing 3 RB's in this class.

Maybe. I did not think they would take 3 till after the Paulk news broke. Still not sure I would take a 3rd with the OL needs and having Reid and Kamara. IF the staff thinks they should, so be it. IMO (2) RBs for 2015 would still be just fine. Get (2) more in 2016 and it's a non issue IMO.

I agree.

IF the staff is looking to replace him as he has informed them he would be taking other visits, I have no issue with it. IF they plan to replace him just to replace him, IMO it's a mistake. The kid has something we need in Knoxville right now. Power and the ability to break tackles at the point of attack. Trade him for another RB who is dropped by shoelace tackles time after time? No thanks.

Hopefully Rocky ends up in Orange.

Great running backs will break tackles and a whole lot more. We need game breaking, all around, superstars. We don't need to recruit a power back when we have the opportunity to get better players, with all around talent.

Rocky Reid seems to fit that to a T IMO. Obviously the Tennessee coaches thought so as well as they offered and took his commitment very early with a lot of talented RBs still on their board. Just because the fans see 3*'s by his name does not mean the coaches care about it. Do I think CBJ intends to drop RR? Nope. His SR season has done NOTHING to hurt his stock IMO. Kid looks like a beast and IMO will be a great get for our Vols.

We'll see what happens, but if Butch has the chance to add LoVe and Frasier, he tells Reid to take a hike. That is my belief.

People who know a lot more about recruiting than you or I believe Reid is on the way out.

Rocky will be a VOL!!! Rocky is a power RB which is what we need. He is the type of RB that Georgia and USCe get every year. Personally i am tired of the scat backs.

Love is nothing but a Scat Back! would be better as a Slot WR IMO.

We got your point. You're not a fan of Reid. Move along now...

I actually am a fan of Reid. I was excited when he committed. It's certainly nothing against him personally.

There are better backs available. Players are asked to look around every year. Remember Lee Lawrence? No one cried when he was let. Of course he doesn't have a cool name though.

This might seem stupid but is there a chance Perry gets a look at running back?

I would rather take someone like Newsome or another OL than Love. That's just me though.
