That’s silly.

Clemson will find a way to stop that offense.
It’s exciting but easy to defend when you don’t have a true passing element.

Bamas just in decline.

I didn't say it. The dad did. All I care is that they beat Bama. I could not care less about Florida State otherwise.

Ric Butler on UT pursuit of Latimer

Pretty much piggybacking on Fong’s report. I figured this guy would catch our attention. Better offer list than rating.

Rocky Top Insider is alot like A to Z Sports. They just use other media outlets info and throw it one of their articles. Only difference is Rocky Top Insider actually covers games, practices etc

I am surprised that Fickell has been so bad there so far. I thought he would do well there.

Tried to completely change the identity. You don't go from John Clay to James White to Montee Ball to Melvin Gordon to Jonathan Taylor to Braelon Allen to potentially Chez Mellusi all back to back and then come in and try to make it all this passing and push Mellusi out of the mix lol

Just watched his tape.

This dude is just as good as Hiter. I can see why Heupel went in on him so early.

Get his brother to transfer to Tennessee.
Geimere Latimer at best could add depth at CB.

Fickel is (surprisngly) not doing well at Wisconsin, but the dude knows CBs. He evaluated, signed, and developed great ones at Cincinnati. So if he liked Geimere Latimer well enough to take him, I'll trust his eval. We're gonna need more CB depth next year, with the departures of McCoy and likely Gibson.

The more I think about it, the more I love the idea of signing Amari Latimer in this class. He's a really good RB, but he's not a 5* rated #1 RB in America like Hiter, so he doesn't potentially scare off one of the great 2027 RBs we're in on. He's a solid RB for this class, though, which is what we need. And he's better than his ranking.

Hopefully, he and his brother want to get closer to home. And hopefully that's Tennessee, not FSU or GT.

If a top 5* RB is scared off by comp then he shouldn’t be and prob won’t live up to being a 5* RB.

The last like 4 classes Bama has signed:

- #3 and #4 RB (one has since transferred)
- #3 RB
- #2 RB
- #2 RB committed

The "scare of" aspect doesn't necessarily take place during the recruitment, but after they're on campus. Logjams happen and dudes transfer out. If we got Hiter, then DGG and/or Robinson signs, but finds himself 4th or 5th on the depth chart after fall camp 2027, and sees how good the guys are ahead of him, good chance he leaves.

But yeah, I agree, you want guys who want competition. And I'm not saying those '27 guys aren't like that. But it's hard to stack 5*s at the same position every year. You can, however, get a 5* one year, then a 4* the next. Signing Nico, then Merk, then George, then Faizon is an example of that at QB. We're not getting a 5* QB in 2027 following Faizon. But we can get a solid 4* like Andre Adams.

I know, different positions and we can play multiple RBs, but similar concept.

Regardless, I'd love to sign Latimer.

If he’s good at getting talent at CB then hopefully Gemere Latimer starts showing up. Dude played 36 snaps and had half a tackle against Miami of Ohio, no pass breakups and graded in the 60’s. His brother as a RB seems to be much more talented of the two. I don’t care to get Hiter as he’s good, but this dude to me watching is as good playing better comp. Of course I’d be all in on Georges for next year.

Hiter is good. I don’t think he’s a 5 star talent. And DGG wouldn’t have been scared anyway imo. Or Robinson .
There’s two kid out of Memphis area that should get a looks imo, but Latmer is much better than them.
