Guys don't forget about Hayden as well. A RB class of Akers, Chandler, and Hayden, or just 2/3 of hayden and Chandler or Hayden and Akers. I'm pretty sure Hayden is a Tennessee lock. Any of those running back hauls will be huge!

Hayden could play slot WR too.

New 247 article: The top-100 running back from Clinton (Miss.) High School made a brief visit to Tennessee less than two weeks ago and is planning to visit the Vols again for the Orange and White Game on April 16, and sources close to his recruitment have told GoVols247 that Tennessee has emerged as one of the favorites to land him.
But sources have indicated that Akers has expressed a willingness — and perhaps even a desire — to attend an out-of-state school, and at least one source suggested that Tennessee and Ohio State currently might be in the best shape with him. The Buckeyes hosted him on one of his most recent visits in early March.
Akers, who’s planning to be an early enrollee, has been to Tennessee’s campus a few times over the past 18 months. He has developed a strong relationship with Vols running backs coach Robert Gillespie, a fellow Mississippi native, and sources said he’s intrigued by the possible opportunity to compete for significant playing time right away next year at Tennessee.
While Akers isn’t expected to make a final decision soon, Tennessee undoubtedly is in good shape with the nation’s No. 35 overall prospect and No. 3 running back in the 247Sports Composite. The Vols’ upcoming spring game will give them another chance to impress Akers and his family, and while he’s still planning to visit several other schools, Tennessee is expected to remain a strong contender for him throughout his recruitment.

Akers, Chandler, and Hayden is an absolute dream scenario for Tennessee. A dream that very well could come true.

Ole Rusty and Kipp might be re-thinking their predictions. They were pretty sure he was theirs for the taking a few weeks ago and UT was not even a blip on the radar.

You may be a young'un and not remember James Stewart and Aaron Hayden coming in the same class. Charlie Garner was from the previous class, if i remember correctly.

That was when the magic really started happening on a consistent basis when quality RB depth was established. Phillips, Graham, Bryson, Lewis, Stephens, Henry - GOOD TIMES !!

Every year we were rolling and these last, seemingly 8-9 years before Hurd and Kamara the RB depth was not really great.

Thanks, Butch. :salute:
